In the beginning, God commanded, "Let there be light," and light bloomed around the earth, banishing the darkness so He could work. He saw the light, declared it good, and divided it from the darkness, establishing day and night as part of creation. Light, coming from God, overcomes darkness and is necessary for creation, as He works in the light and approves it as good, while darkness stands as its opposite, associated with formlessness, emptiness, and futility. John introduces Jesus Christ as the Logos, the Word, who possesses inherent life, and His life is the light of men. By His life, He gives light to the world, shining out God's will, teaching, wisdom, and revelation, leading to eternal life for those who accept it. His light shines bright in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it, echoing the creation where light prevailed and foretelling the ultimate victory of light over darkness. As God led Israel out of Egypt, He provided a pillar of fire by night to guide them through the wilderness, ensuring they had light to follow. He was always present, visible in the cloud by day and the fire by night, leading them toward the Promised Land. Similarly, Jesus Christ declares Himself the light of the world, guiding spiritual Israel as their beacon. He leads out of darkness into light, setting a path illuminated by His presence, drawing followers toward the Kingdom of God. Jesus emphasizes the need to work and walk in the light, for neither can be done effectively in darkness. Spiritual work and walking in His light are essential, as darkness leads to being lost. He is the true light, the light of men, the light of life, whose illumination is vital for following the path to God's Kingdom. He expands the understanding of the law with His light, revealing its deeper meaning and application through His teachings, opening the way to true righteousness. Jesus also calls His followers to be lights in the world, reflecting His light through good works so others may see and glorify the Father in heaven. As He is the light, so are His disciples to shine, producing light of their own by living according to His example. This witness elevates their role, encouraging spiritual growth among brethren and striving toward the excellence of God's Kingdom. Ultimately, Jesus Christ is the true light, giving light to every man, multifaceted in His goodness and truth. Through conversion, believers transform from darkness to light in the Lord, called to walk as children of light out of gratitude for His calling. His light produces what is good, right, and true, urging followers to discern and practice what pleases God, living godly lives and serving in love, always guided by His enduring illumination.

Jesus Christ as the Light embodies the ultimate revelation of truth and life, fulfilling the promises and symbols of the Old Testament. He declares Himself as the way, the truth, and the light, illuminating the path to the Father with singular clarity. As the Light, He reveals all mysteries and makes everything plain to those who come to Him, standing as the personal embodiment of truth that transcends abstract concepts. His presence offers a guiding beacon, cutting through the disillusionment and cynicism of the world, and providing a clear, objective truth that can be studied and applied to life. Through Him, the divine revelation of truth comes from above, showing that it is not of this world but is brought into it by His witness, shining forth to all who seek a relationship with God.

Jesus Christ is the source of light, illuminating the path for Christians who are described as 'light in the Lord.' As His Spirit dwells within every Christian, we become, in a secondary way, the light of the world, reflecting His radiance. This light manifests in the mind through a unique knowledge and reverence for God, open only to believers, distinguishing them from those in darkness. Christians, embodying this light, show forth the fruit of light in all goodness, righteousness, and truth, as a witness to others. Through Jesus Christ, we are granted liberty by the knowledge of God's truth, which acts as an internal governor to use this freedom righteously. His role as the Vine, with Christians as the branches, emphasizes that the fruit of light—goodness, righteousness, and truth—comes from within, expressing the true nature of a believer. This light exposes all things, making manifest what is hidden, and guides Christians to live transparently and sincerely. In the vision of the Millennium, ruling with light alongside Jesus Christ and God the Father will enable believers to shed light on truth and assist those emerging from darkness. As branches of the true Vine, Christians are meant to produce the fruit of light to the glory of God, walking as children of light in preparation for this future role.

Just as lighthouses pierce through the obscurity of night, God's light shines through the darkness of this world, satan's domain. Jesus Christ came to warn us of danger, to save us, and to forgive us. In the midst of darkness, nothing is more precious than light, and Jesus embodies light Himself. He separates light from darkness, offering guidance, hope, and comfort. When we take on Jesus Christ, we abide in the light, for to be in darkness brings fear, confusion, and helplessness. He provides this precious light that illuminates even the darkest places, bringing joy and peace to those lost in obscurity. In John 8:12, Jesus declared, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." Speaking to a crowd and His disciples, He taught that light penetrates the darkness of satan's world, affirming that light is life and darkness is death. As Jesus Christ is the light of the world, we, too, are called to be lights in this world through Him, who is our source of light. Our light will never burn as bright as His, but we are to shine forth before men, displaying His character in a tired and confused world. Jesus said in Matthew 5:14, "You are the light of the world." As imitators of God, we produce our own light by emitting the light of Jesus Christ through the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Our foundation must be built on Him, our rock, to stand tall and remain stable against harsh conditions. Nurtured by our relationship with Jesus Christ through study, prayer, fellowship, and obedience, we develop godly wisdom to discern truth and recognize darkness, ensuring our light shines brightly. No one has ever been wronged more than Jesus Christ, yet it never prevented Him from bringing light into a world of darkness. He set the perfect example as the ultimate Lighthouse through His goodness, mercy, righteousness, and truth. We are to be imitators of Him, serving humbly in love, shining forth as beacons of God's character so that Christ may be seen in us. God expects each of us to be a beacon of light into the world by being the best role models we can be, supporting and helping one another, glorifying Him through our actions, words, and attitudes.
