Why Did Jesus Say He Is the Light of the World?

Keywords

Sunday school teaching, spiritual preparation, inviting the Spirit

Abstract

John 8 opens with “early in the morning [Jesus] came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.”

Now imagine yourself as Sunday school teacher. You’ve carefully considered the hearts and minds of each learner with questions like these: What are the needs of each learner? What can happen during this class that will fortify them for another week to faithfully invite the Spirit into their lives?

You’ve diligently prepared for the class, thinking about the learning experiences for the learners, the doctrines that the class will discuss, the stories that you will tell, the examples you will share. You’ve prepared your own heart and mind to be ready to teach with the Spirit. You have fortified yourself through prayer.
