When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” – John 8:12 (NIV)

Today’s commentary by Dave Whitehead, Author of Making Sense of the Bible

Following Jesus is more than a prayer – it is a way to see everything around us, for Jesus identifies Himself as the way to perceive our world and the world to come. There is life that comes out of His light, and that life leads us away from activities that we want to hide, and compels us to live in such a way that God uses us to bring His light to others.
