Hello Burwell, Welcome to the forum. The passage you refer to is John 8:12, "Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life." (NASB) Notice John 1:4-9- 1:4-In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 1:5- The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. 1:6- There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. 1:7- He came as a witness, to testify about the Light (Jesus), so that all might believe through him. 1:8- He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. 1:9- There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. The Bible Knowledge Commentary says about 8:12, "How fitting that during the Feast of Tabernacles, when the large lamps were burning, Jesus . . . said, I am the Light of the world (cf. 1:4, 9; 12:35, 46). The world is in darkness, a symbol of evil, sin, and ignorance (Isa. 9:2; Matt. 4:16; 27:45; John 3:19). “Light” in the Bible is a symbol of God and His holiness (Acts 9:3; 1 John 1:5). Jesus is “the Light,” not merely a light or another light among many lights. He is the only Light, “the true Light” (John 1:9), for the whole world. When Jesus said, Whoever follows Me, He meant whoever believes and obeys Him (cf. 10:4-5, 27; 12:26; 21:19-20, 22). Jesus was speaking of salvation." I hope this helps, BradK |
