Christ: The Mediator of All Things 2
My purpose in preaching these verses this morning is to show you and instill in all of us that life is only found in Christ. It is Christ alone who gives life, whether physical, spiritual, or eternal. All life is mediated through Christ. And my purpose is to reinforce the Christian truth that there is no life in any other. A mediator is one who stands between two or more parties. The Lord Jesus stands between God the Father and humanity accomplishing the will of God the Father and praying for the people of God.

Overcoming the Darkness
57Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. 58And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. 59And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child. And they would have called him Zechariah after his father, 60but his mother answered, "No; he shall be called John." 61And they said to her, "None of your relatives is called by this name." 62And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he wanted him to be called. 63And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, "His name is John." And they all wondered. 64 And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God. 65And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea, 66and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, "What then will this child be?" For the hand of the Lord was with him. 67And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying, 68 "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people 69and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, 70 as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, 71 that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us; 72 to show the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant, 73 the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us 74that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. 76And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, 77to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins, 78because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high 79to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." 80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

Are You Following the Light-Part Two
Nobody likes stumbling lost in the darkness. And yet that is where the nation of Israel was when Jesus boldly declared himself to be the Light of the World in John 8:12-20. But Jesus wasn’t just declaring the nation as a whole to be in darkness. He was declaring the entire world to be in darkness. The truth is that today most people live in darkness. They live life confused and afraid and don’t really know where to turn. They stumble around and have no idea where they are going. Our world is just filled with a darkness and oppression that is so thick. But Jesus Christ offers himself as the Light of the World.
