THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Meaning

Jesus is the light.

Explication

The shining of Jesus reveals God to us. To know Jesus is to know God. Those who follow Jesus will never walk in darkness (John 8:12). Reading the Holy Scriptures, in the book of John chapter 8 verse 12 Jesus affirms, "I am the light of the world, whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life". This affirmation seems to be exaggerated, as the Pharisees thought. However, Jesus strongly responds to them, "even if I testify about myself, my testimony is valid. For I know where I came from and where I am going, but you don't know where I come or where I`m going". Almost two thousands years later, we know for sure that Jesus was telling the truth because the transformation that many have experienced in their lives, testify so. What Jesus wants to teach us in this verse is that as Christians we must testify that we are the light of the world just as he stated before the Pharisees that it wasn't just his testimony but that the Father who sent him also gave testimony of him.
