Dave McHugh — Dave continues our series examining Jesus saying ‘I am’ the Light of the World and that we are to reflect that light in all areas of our lives.

In the Christmas narrative we read that the wise men followed the star from the East, which led them to Bethlehem—the place of Jesus’ birth. The light in the sky led them to the Light of the World—God became flesh and dwelt amongst us. When Jesus proclaimed that he was the “light of the world,” he proclaimed that he was God—the source of all light and life. Jesus also proclaimed that we—His followers—have light, by following him and becoming like him in the world.

In whatever setting we find ourselves in, Jesus calls us as His followers to be the light in the world—ones who break the darkness, triumph over evil, orient toward His Kingdom and bring life.
