Christmas is a time when we love to celebrate light, warmth, goodness and joy. So perhaps it’s no surprise that Jesus Christ himself claimed to be the light of the world. But in context, those words mean much more. The baby born at Christmas is nothing less than the creator of all light and life, come to breathe light and life back into a world lost in the dark.
The light of the world
John 8:12
I Am the Light of the World
12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
