Living in the dark is dangerous. Being without light leaves us disoriented. Having to navigate in darkness is scary. There’s a deeper reality here: just as we are not meant to live in physical darkness, there is a spiritual darkness in the world that is even more dangerous, disorienting, and scary. Jesus faced this darkness, rising to speak. His declaration pierced the ears and hearts of the crowd: I AM the light of the world. What does this mean, and what impact might it have on our lives?
