Light serves as a guide. It points the way one should go. Light also dispels the darkness and exposes the true reality of things. How many times have we been fearful wandering around in the darkness when finally we locate a light switch or turn on a flashlight and find great comfort and relief in being able to see our surroundings?Christ does that for us as the light of the world. Jesus as the light of the world assures us of the presence of God, too. He is our constant companion throughout our lives. He is the unseen guest of every meal, the unseen listener to every conversation. Christ promised His disciples that He would never leave them or forsake them, and He is true to His word. No matter how alone you may feel today, no matter how many people have let you down and abandoned you, Christ is there right by your side. He is never so near as when we need Him the most, and He’s only a prayer away. As the light of the world, Jesus assures us of God’s presence. In John 8:12 Jesus proclaims "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
