The Light of the World

Message 2

R.C. Sproul

Jesus said, "I am the light of the world." But what does "light of the world" really mean? Dr. Sproul looks at how Jesus is this light, and explains the sense in which we all benefit from it, though there are only a few who acknowledge and come to the light.

More from Knowing Christ: The I AM Sayings of Jesus

The Bread of Life

R.C. Sproul

The world is in the middle of an identity crisis—that is, it doesn't know the real identity of Jesus. But rather than asking everyone else, the best way to know who Jesus really is, is to find out what He says about Himself. Starting with "The Bread of Life," Dr. Sproul explores what Jesus says about Himself by looking at the I AM statements He makes in the Gospel of John.

The Sheep Gate

R.C. Sproul

"Who do Christians think they are to tell Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, and Muslims that they are not going to Heaven?" pluralists protest. When confronted with these kinds of questions the Christian needs to appeal to authority. In this case, it is the entrance into Heaven Himself. In "The Sheep Gate," Dr. Sproul will explore this as he considers the parallels Jesus made between keeping sheep, and the entrance into heaven.

The Good Shepherd

R.C. Sproul

Jesus claimed to be the shepherd of God's people, and the sheep do hear His voice. Words of this magnitude proclaimed in the midst of Pharisees are sure to be controversial. Of those who heard Jesus' words that day, some readily accepted them as coming from God, while others attributed them to demonic influence. In this message, Dr. Sproul looks at Jesus as "The Good Shepherd," teaches us the qualifications for a good shepherd, and likewise the kind of sheep which Christ tends.
