John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them saying, ”I am the light of the world.

Later on Jesus told these same followers that they were the light of the world. He meant both. He is the light that is all light, he shines in glory on our pathway every day and every way, and we are the light that a dark and broken world longs to see and feel. He wants us to know that we don’t carry the light or reflect the light. We are the light. He is the light.
