  • Welcome back to the Good Theology podcast, where we continue our exploration of the profound "I am" statements of Jesus throughout the gospel. This time, we're shining a light on the statement, "I am the light of the world," a phrase with profound significance in our spiritual journey. Together with Jake Sweetman and David Campbell, we break down this statement in the context of the festival of Tabernacles, discussing themes of God's presence, guidance, and the assurance of His light in our darkest times. Listen in as we unpack the themes of light and darkness throughout the Bible, tracing their presence from the creation story to the Exodus and the overall narrative of Israel. This episode offers a deep understanding of Jesus' role as the light in the new beginning, illuminating the world and creating new creation. Jake and David lend their insights to the exploration of light and darkness in the Bible, discussing how these themes connect to Jesus' healing of a blind man in John chapter 9 and the messianic prophecy in Genesis 49. We also touch on God's unique ability to bring good out of bad situations, the importance of yielding to Him, and the assurance of His presence even in our darkest moments. This episode is part of a series on the "I am" statements of Jesus, and it promises to shed light on these significant phrases and their implications for our faith journey. So, sit back, tune in, and let's journey together into the light of understanding.
