I Am the Light of the World (John 8:12–30)

At TGCW24, Jen Wilkin shares Jesus’s second I AM statement, “I AM the Light of the World" from John 8:12-30. 


We all have first-hand experience of the darkness and brokenness that exists in our world. Jesus, the light that shines in the darkness, offers the “light of life” to anyone who follows him. Jesus’ message confronts the darkness in our hearts and in our world and offers us great hope in all of it.

Wilkin teaches the following:

  • The symbolism of light in Scripture
  • Jesus' use of light as a metaphor
  • The Feast of Tabernacles and its significance
  • The manifest presence of God in the Old Testament
  • The role of light in the New Testament
  • The challenge of lesser lights
  • The role of the church in carrying the light
  • The collective impact of believers' light
