Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life” (John 8:12).
The world has no light of its own.
Only what Jesus brings.
No hope, only despair.
No holiness, only sinfulness.
No joy, only sorrow.
No truth, only lies.
No wisdom, only ignorance.
No victory, only defeat.
No salvation, only condemnation.
No life, only death.
But the people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light (Isaiah 9:2)
We can have hope, and holiness and joy.
Truth, wisdom and victory.
Salvation and everlasting life.
But not apart from Jesus Christ
The Light of the World.
