“’I am the light of the world’
John 8:12-20
Jesus can testify on His own because He is the light. He is the truth, and definitely, He does not need the testimony of human beings. Moreover, it is God the Father Himself who sent Him. Yet today, it is the mission of His followers to testify that indeed He is the light. May our words and actions be a living testimony to others, and by doing so, we become the light of the world. This can only happen when we abide in Jesus, the one and only source of light. Without Jesus, we live in darkness, which is characterised by ignorance and sin. By rejecting Jesus, many people choose to live in darkness. They reject the light because it will reveal their ignorance and shame.
On the other hand, accepting Jesus means choosing to be enlightened and deciding to turn away from our sins to live a new life. This is the offer of salvation. When we become disciples of Jesus, our sins are forgiven, and we become heirs of His Kingdom, where we shall live forever in peace and joy. Do you choose to live by Jesus, the Light?
