Jesus describes Himself as the Light of the World (John 1:9; John 8:12; John 9:5; John 12:46). In the Bible, ‘light’ speaks to us of God’s holy nature, His powerful saving acts, His unmovable moral standards, His relationship with His creation, and His ultimate purposes. The Bible also challenges us to respond to what God’s Light reveals about Himself and us - in faith, obedience, love, and hope. The light emanating from Jesus is the same as the Light of God (Hebrews 1:3) - the same Light which will physically illuminate the new creation (Revelation 21:23).
