Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 41, Day 2, Monday, 11th October 2021. TOPIC: WHO IS JESUS 2:

“12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Jesus Christ is the light of the world, He has been from the beginning of the world. Where there is light, darkness vanishes without any command. In John 1:4-5, the Bible says,

4 In Him was life, and  the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not  comprehend it.”

Jesus has never been overcome by the world or darkness. He rules from the beginning of the world till date, and He will continue to rule till eternity. Whoever follows Jesus, as the light of this world, will overcome the darkness of this world. When we choose to follow Christ we decide to walk in the light, we’ve decided to walk away from the darkness totally, that was why Jesus called us the light of the world, because whatever He is, is what we become if we choose to follow His footsteps. 

Math. 5:14-16,

“14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a  lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

How do we manifest as light? It’s through our good works, through our walk with Him, following His footsteps. Propagating the Gospel of Christ anywhere we find ourselves. When we have the originator of light within us, we’ll reflect and radiate the same light to the world. Are you reflecting the light of God or are you still in the darkness? Jesus is the light of the world and we’ve become the light also if we will walk with Him.
