23rd Sunday after Pentecost. We celebrate All Saints Sunday today. Dan is preaching. Second Consecration Sunday speaker.
SCRIPTURE: John 8:12-18 and Matthew 5:14-16.
I love these two texts when you hold them next to each other.
Jesus tells us HE is the light of the world in John and in the Matthew text he tells us that WE are the light of the world.
There is always a direct correlation between who Jesus says he is in the “I am” statements and who we are in response to them.
When we allow those “I am” statements to define who we are, everything changes—most importantly; US.
