The World's Light
When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, �I Am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.� John 8:12 NIV
When Jesus said �I Am the light,� He was claiming to be God. This is what He was crucified for. I t is quite interesting to me, that though many claim He was only a good man, the ministry of Jesus has persisted for some 2000 years.
Light, as used here, is another name for Messiah. Jesus is the light of the world, because He is the Messiah. He is the Savior of the world. I can't explain how His popularity has continued. It is not a fad. Fads come and go. Jesus has remained popular. It is not cultural, because the gospel of Christ crosses all cultural lines. No, the gospel of Christ remains because Jesus is our Savior. Those who find Him find a peace that surpasses understanding, forgiveness the world can't and won't give, and a joy that outlasts all pain.
Jesus is the light of the world because He brings sinners like you and me into the presence of an Almighty God. Praise God for His Light of the world.
