Light of the World

John 8:12 “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

•  John 1:3-5 (ESV) “All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
• Matthew 6:22 (ESV) “The eye is the lamp of the body. Si, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. .” 
• John 9:5 (ESV) “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

Jesus, the light of the world, came to earth to defeat the darkness. It is through Him that we can defeat the darkness and live in the light. Jesus told us we would never walk in darkness again as long as we followed him. Just as we are following Jesus, we then reflect the Light of Jesus. It is through our words, our actions that they see Jesus.
