One of the most famous Bible quotes is the statement of Jesus, “I am the Light of the world!” What is not so often mentioned is that Jesus also told us we are the Light of the world. “You are the light of the world....” (Matthew 5:14 ,NIV)
This is, of course, only true when we are devoted to representing God, to doing God’s Will, and not when we are focused on getting as much worldly pleasure as possible while we are here. Yet when I pray for Divine Guidance, and ask for God’s Light to shine through me, I am the Light of the world!
I hardly ever hear Christians say this about themselves, even though saying that you are the Light of the world would be, as I understand it, fully in harmony with representing God, with following Jesus. And I am just wondering about the members of this part of the Christian Forum:
Do you see yourself and talk about yourself as the Light of the world?
