The Bible describes Jesus as the light of the world, illuminating the darkness of sin and providing spiritual life.
In scripture, Jesus is portrayed as the ultimate source of light amidst the darkness of this world. John 8:12 states, 'I am the light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.' This profound truth is echoed throughout scripture, indicating that it is only through Christ that we can gain true understanding and a renewed life. Without His light, we remain in spiritual darkness, securing our need for His redemptive work as described in 2 Samuel 22:29 where David proclaims, 'Thou art my lamp, O Lord, and the Lord will lighten my darkness.'
