Light of the World
I have come into the world as a light.
I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, warm wishes and greetings in the precious name of our Lord!
The Scriptures says that Lord Jesus is the light of the world. And our Lord Jesus revealed himself as the light for the mankind. Certainly, the subject verse (John 12:46) is the direct reference to the testimony of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus clearly says that He came to this earth as a light. And those who believe in Him shall not stay in darkness. The subject verse is the affirmation of what Jesus had already told to the people as per the verse below:
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
Beloved, as Jesus says in the above verse, whoever follows Him will never walk in darkness. So whom are we following? Are we walking in the light who gave Himself for us? There is none, but Jesus alone who could ever say that He is the light of life. We as His believers or followers are to live on this truth. We are all His property. Therefore, we have His grace to be light for all.
14. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16
As the above verses makes it clear, let us shine before others and bring glory to the Father in heaven. In Jesus matchless name alone, all the glory be to the Living God. Amen.
