I am...

John 8:12 “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.””

Genesis 1:1–5 “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good.

Revelation 22:5 “And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.”

Isn’t it something that God’s first act of creation and provision and then God’s final act of provision in consummation is light.

(Preach on what Light is likened to biblically and how Darkness is an absence of light)

Black History Month: Lewis Latimer said, “Like the light of the sun, it beautifies all things on which it shines, and is no less welcome in the palace than in the humblest home.”

Guarantees Life

Just like in the wilderness the light of God was a guarantee of his presence and Providence. (Preach)

Everything on this planet is depending either directly or indirectly on sunlight. Even things that survive in the depths of the Earth in caves, under rocks, or only come out at night rely on the Sun’s light for survival. It is the light that causes photosynthesis in plants to produce oxygen. It is the sun’s light that powers the water cycle that we have fresh water to drink. It is the sun’s light that generates vitamin D in our skin that allows us to live health lives. It is the sun's that regulates circadian rhythm so tha you get good sleep. It is the sun's light that triggers the release of endorphins, reducing stress and anxiety.

Well if that sun does all that for us and is God's creation, how much moore will the sun’creator provide life for us?
