The light of the world (John 8:12-20) with Mark Thompson
Moore in the Word by Moore Theological College
Episode notes
In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 1 May 2026, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, speaks on John 8:12-20 and Jesus’ claim that he is the light of the world.
Mark reminds us that from the very beginning of the Bible, when God declared, “Let there be light”, God has always been closely identified with light and therefore life. This makes Jesus’ claim all the more radical—and the Pharisees’ rejection of Jesus all the more devastating.
In 2026, Moore College is giving thanks to God for his faithfulness over 170 years. Find out more about the College and its history.
