I Am the Light of the World
John 9:1–12 presents Christ's healing of a man born blind as the occasion for His declaration 'I am the light of the world.' This sermon examines the second of Christ's great 'I am' sayings in John's Gospel, set within a consecutive exposition of John, tracing how the miracle itself — sight given to one who never had it — is the enacted meaning of Christ's person and mission. The works of God are revealed precisely where human expectation of cause and effect (sin producing blindness) is overturned by sovereign grace.
