Good Morning!

Look in your Bible with me at …

• John‬ ‭8:12‬ •

“Once again Jesus spoke to the people. This time He said, “I am the light for the world! Follow Me, and you won’t be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life.”” (CEV‬)

✝️ “I am the light for the world!”

During this time, when Jesus was teaching those who were following Him, the Israelites were celebrating The Feast of Tabernacles. By this time in the day, it’s probably evening. In the midst of great burning lights, which brightened up all the area which they were celebrating in, Jesus stepped out and proclaimed that He was The Light of the World!

This world is in, or represents darkness, a symbol of evil, sin, and ignorance toward God (John 3:19). “Light” in the Bible is a symbol of God and His holiness (John 1:5).

Jesus is “The Light,” not merely a light, or another light among many lights. He is the only Light, “The True Light” (John 1:9), the Light for the whole world.

✝️ “Follow Me, and you won’t be walking in the dark.”

When Jesus said, “Follow Me,” He was speaking to those who would sincerely believe, obey and follow Him.

When He said, “you won’t be walking in the dark,” Jesus was speaking of His followers receiving True Salvation, and receiving True Light.

Coming to Christ for salvation results in a different kind of life. It’s a saved life; a holy life. As a sincere believer of Jesus, we will never walk in darkness, nor will we live in darkness (John 12:46; 1 John 1:6–7) unless we chose to walk away from the Light.

✝️ “You will have the light that gives life.”

Again, a believer of Jesus, will no longer be in darkness and will no longer remain in the realm of evil and ignorance, because Jesus is our Light and Salvation.

❇️ Jesus will only lead us in the way of True Light and Abundant Life. ❇️

Jesus said, in John 12:46, “I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in Me may not remain in darkness.”
