Light of the World
"Then spake Jesus again unto them saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
John 8:12 kjv
- Name of God the Son
- Jesus is referred to as the "light of the world" three times in the KJV.
- The term light is used many different ways in the Bible, often referring to "wisdom" or "truth." But we might go straight to the apostle John who declared that "God is light" (1 John 1:5). In this way, Jesus, as the Light of the World, can truly be seen as God in the world.
- John 8:12 recounts the moment when Jesus encountered the woman taken in adultery- and set her free from sin!
The birth of Jesus was God's way of restoring a relationship that had been damaged by the Fall. He was shining a light into our spiritual darkness. Jesus said, "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world" John 9:5 kjv). But after He physically left this world, the light did not go out. And it won't! By having Jesus in our hearts, each of us becomes a candle bearer, ensuring the Light still shines for all the world to see.
