Light of the World

Names of God

“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12 NIV)

God has many names and titles in the Bible. Each one tells us something important about Him—His character and how He relates to us. And how we must relate to Him. Here is another one of His many Names, which is Light of the World.

Light of the world – Jesus

The Greek word for light in John 8:12 is phos, defined as the light; anything emitting light; light, i.e. brightness. God profoundly states, “I am.” Light is part of who Jesus is.

Therefore

Everything the light touches, Jesus is a part of.

“While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”  (John 9:5)

Christ is the Light of the world. God is light, and Christ is the image of the invisible God. One sun enlightens the whole world; so does one Christ, and there needs no more. - Matthew Henry Commentary, Concise.
