Jesus is described as the light of men, shining in the darkness, which sets the stage for life and ministry - but why would Jesus lay down his life for a dark world that hates Him? In this teaching, Pastor Nathan walks through John 1:6-13 in order to understand the vastness of God's love seen in the life of Jesus. Despite the world not recognizing Him and His own people rejecting Him, those who receive Jesus are given the right to become children of God. This transformative power of divine love challenges us to embrace and reflect Christ's light in our lives, plan to show love intentionally, and persevere in love even in difficult situations.
