Pastor Chad Laird does a part two of this sermon topic where he studies the account in John 8:12-30 where Jesus is teaching in the temple. Ten bold claims made by Jesus in this exchange are examined:

1. Jesus’ Bold claim: “I am the light of the world”.
2. Jesus’ bold requirement: whoever follows me WILL NOT walk in darkness.
3. Jesus’ bold promise: (he who follows me) will have the light of life.
4. Jesus bold defense: “My testimony and judgment is true (and backed up by the Father).
5. Jesus bold rebuttal: You don’t know me and you don’t know my Father (this is leading up to the big reveal later on - the conclusion of the chapter where he says, I and the Father are ONE).
6. Jesus bold judgment: you will die in your sins and you cannot come where I am going (heaven).
7. Jesus bold contrast: you are from below, I am from above, you are of this world, I am not of this world.
8. Jesus bold demand: You must believe I am the I AM – or you will die/perish in your sins.
9. Jesus bold confirmation: (Who are you? …what I have been telling you from the beginning).
10. Jesus bold prophecy: They will lift up (crucify) the Son of Man, only then will they know that He is the I AM (Son of God). Sermon
