Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” - John 8:12.
Jesus is the light of the world. He came to
the world as a light. God is light and in Him is no darkness at all - 1 John
1:5. I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should
not abide in darkness - John 12:46. We will no longer be in the darkness but
have the light of life when we follow God. John 8:12 says, "Whoever
follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
This means life in all its fullness.
The Lord led the people of Israel in the
wilderness by the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire. And the Lord went before
them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of
fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night - Exodus 13:21. God’s Word
is the lamp to our feet and light to our path that leads us and guides us. Your
word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path - Psalm 119:105.
Jesus who is the light of the world said that we are the light of the world. You are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven - Matthew 5:14,16. Being a light of the world, let us also walk in the light as He is in the light. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin - 1 John 1:7.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the light
of the world. Help us to walk in light and shine in the darkness like You. In
Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
