The I AM statements of Jesus
I Am the Light of the World
“I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
Jesus, in John 8:12 · King James Version (public domain)
What it means
In a world groping in the dark, Jesus is the light that shows the way and exposes what is hidden. To follow Him is to stop stumbling; His light is not information but life. Wherever He is, the darkness does not win.
Meet Him
These seven sayings are Jesus telling us, in His own words, who He is. Read them in John’s Gospel on The Living Bread, ask Simon anything you wonder about, and come to the One who says I AM. You are welcome exactly as you are.
