Jesus Christ, The Light of the World

Isaiah 5:20, Romans 1:21, Psalm 82:5, Ecclesiastes 2:14, Proverbs 4:19
It is one thing to walk in the dark, it is another thing to be blind. Both are void of light, but one is a choice or a temporary necessity, that other is a permanent state of darkness.
Can you imagine being blind all of your life and then suddenly being introduced to yellow, to blue skies, to Picasso, to a peacock, to a sunset, to hundreds of colored fish on an coral reef, to a trillion stars in the sky on a moonlit night or for the first time seeing your mother.

He did the same in the spiritual realm. He offered spiritual light that we could see beyond the darkness of the world and see the vastness of his love, the beauty of the cross, the freedom of forgiveness, the simplicity of faith, the length of eternity.
All the world struggles with spiritual blindness and living in darkness. We see it in every country, every city and in every heart. We find it even in our own lives.
The Bible describes spiritual darkness as evil, foolishness, wickedness, ignorance, and futility of thinking (Isaiah 5:20, Romans 1:21, Psalm 82:5, Ecclesiastes 2:14, Proverbs 4:19).

Some walk in blindness because they do not know God and have never been ushered into the light. 2 Corinthians 4:4, speaks in these words, ''In their case the god of this world (Satan) has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.''
Others have put their faith in God, are now children of the light, but are ...
