Jesus Is the Light Of The world,
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not {John 1:4-5).
By coming to earth and becoming the light of the world, Christ revealed the essence of His kingdom and the power of His love.
According to the apostle John: The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. Jesus‘ light shines in the darkness, bringing hope to all who seek it. He is the only source of true light and the only path to eternal life, and the Savior of the world. It is he who is the way, the truth, and the life and the example of what we should all strive to emulate.”(John 1:9-12). That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.
He is our hope and our light in times of darkness. God sent a message of hope in the form of a child to be born who would rule with justice and righteousness. The child was promised to bring salvation and deliverance from judgement. The child would be Immanuel, meaning “God with us”. He was to be the savior of the world, and God’s promise of hope and redemption. The child was Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the prophecy and would ultimately be crucified for our sins. Through His death and resurrection, He gave us eternal life and the hope of salvation, “(John 8:12)”Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.–Jesus’ sacrifice was the ultimate act of love, and we are forever grateful. He will always be with us, through His grace and love. As agents of His kingdom, we are called to spread His message, to be the light of the world, to illuminate the darkness, and to bring hope to others based on His example.

The joy of those who receive Christ is like the joy of the crops, when they divide the harvest. It is a time of celebration, a time of joy, a time of thanksgiving. A time to be grateful for the blessings of God. It is a time to share the good news with those around us. It is with comfort and joy that Christ comes with tidings of good news.
Christ, by taking upon himself the burden of the law of sin and death, takes away the burden of guilt that is in us, and takes it away from us. We can now be filled with hope and joy, and we are a light on the world, “(Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven,”(Matthew 5:14-16). As a light in the world, we are a beacon of hope. We are a reminder of the power of kindness, love and a light in the darkest hour, to be the voice of repentance, redemption, unity, and acceptance that Jesus is calling for, we must be willing to act as he did in serving as a voice to spread His message. Let your light shine for someone who has not yet encountered Jesus Share His love and forgiveness and show them the way to salvation. Pray for them and encourage them to find Jesus. Be an example of His teachings and live a life that honors Him.
We can now be freed from the bondage of sin and death, now live with a clear conscience, knowing that our sins are going to be forgiven. Our Lord meets the justice of God, so we can have joy before God because of his sacrifice and having eternal life and saved from the power of sin, we can experience the promised to be reconciled with God. The world is in need of light, and we can be that light. We can be a light of hope and salvation for those who are lost and searching for answers. We can show the world the power of Jesus and His unconditional love, a light in a dark and uncertain world. Let others see that Jesus has paid all, so you are no longer slaves to sin, but to righteousness, ” (Romans 6:12-13)’and that you are now walking in the light Show them that Jesus is the only answer and that He is the only source of true freedom. Lead them to the foot of the cross and help them accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
