When the disciples speak of their recollection of the transfiguration in which the light of

deity shone out of Christ, he wasn't reflecting it, it was coming from within.

Unlike Moses, Moses was shining with a reflected glory, not with an inherent or intrinsic glory.

Christ, when he began to burst forth in this light at the amount of transfiguration was displaying

his glory. Not the reflected glory, but his internal glory. Jesus said that he is the light of the world and that is one of what we often call his

I am sayings.

These statements of Jesus are not throwaway remarks or merely nice descriptions,

but as we study them deeply, they reveal great truths about the identity of Jesus, the word

made flesh.

Thanks for joining us today for the Wednesday edition of Renewing Her Mind. The goal of Bible study is not merely to know a book better,

but also to know a person better, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

And that is our focus today and tomorrow as RC Sprawl considers two of Jesus

I am saying. So here's Dr. Sprawl in John's Gospel with a message on Jesus

declaration that he is the light of the world.

We're going to turn our attention now to the second of the series of I. M'ss which is the statement that Jesus made I am the light of the world

now depending on which translation of the Bible you have in front of you,

you may find this reference in a little different place from somebody else.

In my Bible, I find it in John Chapter 8, verse 12, where we read,

then Jesus spoke to them again saying,

I am the light of the world, and he who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have

the light of life. Now the reason I mentioned in passing that it may be at a different

spot in your Bible is that what precedes this in my text is the account of the woman caught in adultery.
