IMPORTANT INFORMATION
As we read the Gospel of John, we learn important things about the Lord Jesus Christ. Two things stand out especially:
1. His consciousness
a) He was conscious that He was sent by God His Father to save the world.
b) He was conscious that He was the Son of God.
c) He was conscious of being the Living Bread that came from Heaven.
d) He was conscious of being the Light of the world.
2. His commitment
a) He was committed to fulfil all that God had assigned Him to do.
b) He was committed to proclaim the truth no matter how difficult the task may be.
c) He was committed to feeding people with the Bread of heaven.
d) He was committed to shining as the Light of the world.
THE NEED OF THE MOMENT
Jesus always sought to fulfil the different needs that presented themselves. He would always seek to be the Light that He was!
“As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
John 9:5
1. There was much darkness in the land
a) Spiritual ignorance among the religious teachers (Nicodemus, John 3).
b) Following wrong doctrines (The Samaritan woman, John 4).
c) A lack of faith despite good and deep teachings (The Jews, John 5).
d) Seeking only physical blessings (Feeding of the five thousand, John 6).
e) Holding fast to traditions but spiritually impoverished (Celebrating Feast Days, John 7).
f) Using the Law of God improperly yet seeking to find fault with Jesus (The Jews, John 8).
2. There was a need to shine forth
a) “As long as I am in the world”
i) Jesus was most aware of how brief a time He had on earth.
ii) He maintained this special sense of consciousness.
b) “I am the light of the world”
This was what He had declared (John 8:12). This was what He continued to maintain (John 9:5)
