Jesus Christ’s declaration, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12), assures us that He is God’s light that came into this dark, sinful, sick, and dying world, the One whose coming God inspired the prophets to prophesy, the One who would bring healing and comfort to the sick and suffering, reveal God’s eternal love and truth to all persons, suffer and die on a cruel cross for the salvation of all lost souls, and defeat death in order to provide a victory over death and eternal life in Heaven for every person.
