MI DAILY DEVOTION
JESUS IS THE LIGHTHOUSE
(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.”
The Bible says that Jesus is the light of the world. When Jesus said that He is “the light of the world…” It means that Jesus was directly saying that He is the Messiah. In the Book of (Daniel 2:22) “He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”
Mr. Henry said; “God is light, and Christ is the image of the invisible God; God of gods, Light of lights. He was expected to be a light to enlighten the Gentiles (Lu. 2:32), and so the light of the world, and not of the Jewish church only. The visible light of the world is the sun, and Christ is the Sun of righteousness. One sun enlightens the whole world, so does one Christ, and there needs no more.”(The Bible Collection, Matthew Henry)
We know that Jesus is the light of the world and as His disciples; we should be committed and submit ourselves to Him as His light in this world.
(Matthew 5:14- 16) 14- “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15- 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. 16- Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
