The Light of the World

In John 8:12 Jesus said, "I am the light of the world, he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."Darkness surrounds us--deception, corruption, abuse of power, greed, and the taking of innocent life. Into this darkness Jesus came--the light of the world--but the world did not comprehend him. They rejected Him. "Light came into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light for their deeds are evil" (Jn.3:19). The answer to the worlds woes is "The Light of the World"--Jesus. Those who follow Him will not walk in darkness--they love darkness because their deeds are evil. That means those who do walk in darkness are not following Him. Those who follow Christ "shall have the light" which is "life." Those in darkness are destined for eternal separation from God (death) while those who follow Christ enjoy eternal life. The real answer to the darkness of the world is Jesus.
