John 8:12 The Light of Life

John 8:12 (KJV) 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.

Following Jesus is to find the true bearing for life. Only Jesus, our Maker, Sustainer, and Saviour, can properly guide His people.

Jesus says, “I am the light of the world” – John 1:4-5 (KJV) In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 

It is sad that the world would reject their only Saviour – John 1:9-11 (KJV)  That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 

There is hope because there are those who will acknowledge Him to their blessing – John 1:12-13 (KJV) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Amen.
