How do we know Christ's claim to be the light is true?

Answered in 1 source

We know Christ's claim is true through the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the witness of the Father.

Christ's claim to be the light of the world is substantiated by various Old Testament prophecies that point toward Him as the promised Messiah. For instance, Isaiah prophesies that the Messiah will be a 'light to the Gentiles' (Isaiah 49:6). Additionally, Christ's ministry and teachings corroborate these prophecies, fulfilling the expectations of a divine savior. Furthermore, Christ also appeals to the witness of the Father, reinforcing His authenticity and divine nature. This interrelation of prophecy and divine testimony confirms the truth of His claims.
