So Let Your Light Shine

During the sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells his disciples to let their light shine before all men because they were the light of the world. But in John 8:12, he stands up during the Feast of Tabernacles and says "I am the Light of the World..."


The Feast of Tabernacles commemorated a time when the Israelites lived in the tents in the wilderness. A time when the pillar of cloud by day and fire by night went before the nation of Israel so that they would not lose their way. It is no accident that Jesus makes this bold statement during the Feast of Tabernacles. He was the fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles. He brings us out of the wilderness into the promised land.



Find out what Jesus meant when he said "I am the Light of the World..." and how it relates to his command to us to let our light shine before men by listening to today's sermon. To listen, click on the link below.
