What does the Bible say about Christ as the light?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible describes Christ as the great light that shines in the darkness, revealing God's sovereign grace and bringing redemption to His elect.
In Isaiah 9:2, we learn that those who walked in darkness have seen a great light, which is a prophetic reference to Christ’s coming. This light is a symbol of God’s sovereign grace, shining upon those whom the Father has chosen. Paul further elaborates on this in 2 Corinthians 4:6, explaining that it is God who commands this light to shine out of darkness, illuminating our hearts with the knowledge of His glory revealed in Jesus. Thus, Christ is not merely a figure of light; He embodies life, truth, peace, and assurance for believers.
