1. Light is a powerful SYMBOL for GOD.
(1) Physically, light represents God's GLORY.
(2) Intellectually, light represents God's TRUTH.
(3) Morally, light represents God's GOODNESS.
(4) Spiritually, light represents God's LIFE.
2. God's light EXPOSES the DARKNESS of our sin.
1. When we were LOST, we LOVED the darkness.
2. When we come to CHRIST, we hate the DARKNESS.
I Saw the Light
lyrics by Hank Williams
I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin.
I wouldn't let my Dear Savior in.
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night.
Praise the Lord I saw the light.
I saw the light, I saw the light.
No more darkness, no more night.
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight.
Praise the Lord, I saw the light.
lyrics by Hank Williams
I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin.
I wouldn't let my Dear Savior in.
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night.
Praise the Lord I saw the light.
I saw the light, I saw the light.
No more darkness, no more night.
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight.
Praise the Lord, I saw the light.
PERSONAL APPLICATION #1: When I COME to His light, God's love SHINES through me.
PERSONAL APPLICATION #2: I light my world with acts of KINDNESS that put the SPOTLIGHT on God.
Light Your World
by NewSong
Two doors down one rocking chair is rocking;
She sits there all alone, her husband dead and gone.
The best years of her life they spent together;
He was always strong, but now she’s on her own.
And the telephone never rings
No one laughs, no one sings
It’s quiet there; does anybody care?
A knocking at her door breaks the silence;
She looks out to see a little boy from down the street.
She cracks the door, surprised that he came over;
Flowers in his hand, like a little gentleman.
He said, “I picked these just for you;
I hope you like the color blue.
Could I stay awhile? I love to see you smile.”
Light your world;
Let the love of God shine through
In the little things you do,
Light your world.
And though your light may be
Reaching only two or three;
Light your world!
