How do we know Jesus is the light?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is affirmed as the light through numerous witnesses, including John the Baptist, His own works, and the Scriptures.

The identity of Jesus as the light is substantiated through a series of witnesses outlined in the Gospel of John. For instance, John the Baptist testifies about Jesus, pointing to Him as the Lamb of God (John 1:29). Additionally, Jesus’ miraculous works are described as testimonies of His divine authority, as seen in John 5:36 where He states that His works bear witness that the Father has sent Him. Moreover, the Scriptures themselves bear testimony of Christ's identity, as Jesus invites His listeners to search the Scriptures, asserting, 'For in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me' (John 5:39). This wealth of affirmation establishes the truth of Jesus' role as the light of the world.
