Do you do you do you do you do

I invite you to turn to the New Testament to John Chapter 8 and verse 12.

When Jesus spoke again to the people he said, I am the light of the world.

Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

Here in the space of relatively few words Jesus makes a quite remarkable claim and he issues an equally incredible promise.

Claim, I am the light of the world.

Promise, all who follow me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.

as John tells us once again.
