You Are The Light Of The World
Introduction: Jesus declared “I am the light of the world”. Naturally speaking, Jesus did not qualify to call Himself the light of the world because of His humanity but He was so bold to call Himself the Light of the world, the Bread of life and the Way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus was bold to declare His identity because He knew who He was and so must we. We must be bold about who we are otherwise the world will make us what we are not. In Matt. 5:14, Jesus said to his disciples “ye are the light of the world”. He has left us in the world to shine His light. As Christians, God has called us to do the following.
Great Grace
Introduction: Grace means the free and unmerited favor of God as it’s shown in the salvation of man (Romans 5:8; Titus 3:5-7). Grace is free. It is kindness from God that we do not deserve (Eph. 2:1-6). Knowing Jesus is a supernatural experience. We are divinely chosen or selected by God to know Him and also to have eternal life we don’t merit. Grace is divine assistance for regeneration and sanctification. The grace of God allows us to come into God’s presence without any assistance. By grace are we saved through faith. It is the gift of God and not of works, lest any man should boast (Eph. 2: 8-9).
