What does the Bible say about Christ as the light of the world?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible declares that Christ is the light of the world, as He said in John 8:12, 'I am the light of the world.'

In John 8:12, Jesus proclaims, 'I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.' This assertion highlights Christ's divine role in illuminating the path for believers, demonstrating that salvation and knowledge of God come solely through Him. In His high priestly prayer, He emphasizes the union between Himself and His followers, indicating that they receive His light and are called to shine that light in the world (John 17:21).
