John 8:12  I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

In Genesis 1:3, Moses writes, "God said, 'Let there be light.' And there was light." This is the plan for the rest of the Bible. Wherever there is darkness, God's Word brings light!

Would you like some examples? "Arise, shine, for your light has come" (Isaiah 60:1). "A light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel" (Luke 2:32).

Jesus is the light of the world who took on flesh so He can take you into His arms, heal your hurts, and destroy your darkness. Jesus is dazzling light, brilliant light. And eternal light. No wonder the Nicene Creed confesses that Jesus is "God of God, Light of Light."

Yet would Christ's betrayal on Good Friday, His shed blood, and His brutal death extinguish the light? Would Judas, Pilate, Caiaphas, and Herod overcome the light? Not on your life! Christ is risen! And there is more light to come! When Christ returns, He promises to take us to the new Jerusalem. "The Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever" (Revelation 22:5). When we take our final breath, the night of death will yield to the dawn of an eternal Easter. Then we will forever gleam in divine splendor and bask in God's eternal glory. "The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?" (Psalm 27:1)/
