I AM’s…The Way, the Truth, the Life

There was a sermon a couple weeks ago about how Christianity is exclusive…yet very inclusive.  Jesus Christ offers salvation to ALL who believe.  If you trust in Jesus Christ, you will be saved.  No exceptions.  But it is ONLY through Jesus Christ.  There is no other way to heaven.  No other way to the Father.  Jesus is the only way.  Through Him we have eternal life.  That is the truth.

I AM’s…The Light of the World

Jesus is the Light.  He came to this earth as a light in a world of darkness.  Our world is getting darker and Satan is at work trying to subdue the light while he still has time.  But, the good news is Jesus is coming and his light cannot be subdued!  Until then, we must be the light, reflecting the light of Jesus in the world around us.
