He Is...Light

John 1:5 says, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” And in John 8:12, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

Jesus brought light into the world when he was born. He was both fully God and fully human and lived a pure and blameless life so that one day, he could take the punishment for our sins upon himself. As Jesus’ followers, it is our job to reflect his light to a dark and unbelieving world, pointing them to the one who is the true light.
