Carry Your Candle High
12-11-11 AM
Introduction:
John 9:5… As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” (NKJV)
Jesus carried the light of Heaven high and clear…
Healing the sick and lame, opened blinded eyes, cleansed the leper, died in our place, was buried in a borrowed tomb and rose again the third day to shine eternal with God’s Victory and Love!
He carried the candle of faith to its ultimate heights as He ascended into “Heaven in a Cloud” He will return in glory and His light will shine from the east to the west…
And every kneel will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord
1. Until Jesus Comes…We Must Raise Our Candle High
Matthew 5:14-16 … “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. (NKJV)
We are light of hope for the Fallen World…
Together we are as bright as a city in a dessert…
We will not measure or withhold our light…
Our Candle raised high is the Gospel at Work…
Our candle is raised high for the Glory of God!
2. Until Jesus Comes…We Must Raise our Candle and Walk In The Light
John 8:12… Then Jesus spoke saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (NKJV)
Raise Your Candle and Follow Jesus
Raise Your Candle and Live Life to the fullest!
John 10:10... I have come so that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Close:
Acts 26:17, 18 …I …now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’ (NKJV)
Go with your Candle High to turn darkness into light…
Go with your Candle High announcing Forgiveness…
Go with your Candle High declaring Eternal Inheritance…
