Jesus is declared as the light in the scriptures, showing humanity the path to salvation and truth.
Jesus Himself claimed to be the light of the world in John 8:12, demonstrating that He illuminates the spiritual darkness of human hearts. The assurance of Jesus being the light is deeply rooted in the creation account where God said, 'Let there be light,' a proclamation that echoes through the New Testament in the person of Christ. As the light reveals truth, it also exposes sin, leading to a greater understanding of our need for redemption. As believers, our recognition and acceptance of Jesus as the light signify our transition from darkness to eternal life, guided by His truth.
