Jesus said, “You are the light of the world”

 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matt. 5:14-16 NIV)

You are the light (Christ) of the world

In the above passage Jesus, in His sermon on the mount, explains that His followers must be lights shining in the world so that others may see good deeds and glorify God.

Lights in the open to be seen

“No one lights a lamp and then hides it or puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house.” (Luke 11:33 NLT)

Live as children of light

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth).” (Eph. 5:8-9 NIV)

Light exposes deeds of darkness

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” (Eph. 5:11 NIV)

Called out of darkness into His marvelous light

“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9 ESV)

Walk in the light like Jesus

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7 ESV)
