Why is Christ called the light of the world?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ is called the light of the world because He reveals truth and offers spiritual enlightenment to all who believe in Him.

Christ's designation as the 'light of the world' is foundational in understanding His role in Revelation and salvation. In John 8:12, Jesus asserts this identity, emphasizing that those who follow HIm will not dwell in darkness but will possess the light of life. This light denotes spiritual illumination, revealing our sinful state and the truth about God's righteousness. As mentioned in John 1:4-5, Christ is not only the source of physical life but also spiritual life. He brings understanding and clarity, empowering believers to perceive and walk in the truth amidst a world shrouded in darkness and confusion.
