The sermon in one sentence: Jesus, the Light of the world, is the great answer to darkness in life, and Jesus calls us to shine his light in love for others to have hope and help.
- The primacy of love:
- Love should be our primary attitude and motivation for action toward others (12:9-10)
- Our love and concern for the well-being of others should be ever-increasing (12:10-11)
- Shining the light of love:
- Shine the light spiritually, love others by pointing them to Jesus (12:12)
- Shine the light physically, love by meeting practical needs (12:13)
