John 9:5 NLT
But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world."

He is the light sent from God to lighten up and send away darkness in the heart of men and In the whole world.
John 1:5 NLT
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.

Darkness was in the heart of men, the meaning of darkness is not just something black but the "absent of God" absent of light,

Through Jesus Christ, the light, we have our life.
John 8:12 NLT
Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life."

Nothing else brings the light, nor the law, not even the greatest prophet.
John 1:8 NLT
John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light.

Only Jesus gives TRUE light.
John 1:9 NLT
The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

This means there's something called FALSE light and this is any light that is gotten from any other source apart from Christ and I tell you, it is darkness also because true light can only be one.

So, all glory to God because the light has shine in our heart!
2 Corinthians 4:6 NLT
For God, who said, "Let there be light in the darkness," has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.

And now we have the light in us, we are the light of this world now.
2 Corinthians 4:7 NLT
We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.

Matthew 5:14 NLT
"You are the light of the world-like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.

Light is not really made for light but to dislodge darkness and there is darkness in this world, unbelief in the heart of men which is darkness..
We, as a light have a mandate and we must arise to our work! And shine the glorious light of the gospel.
