In what ways does Jesus provide light to the world?

Jesus provide light to the world, fistly by coming down to this world to save us is enough to justify that He is the light of the world.

Secondly, we were living in sin and darkness then Jesus From Heaven brought light and that light is Him. His testimony is not of this world and He does not need any human testimony, His testimony is true and the truth is Him.

He opened eyes of the blind, He healed the sick, He provided and still provide food to the hungry.

In a nutshell, Jesus is The light of the world. anyone one who accepts and believe in Him has light and there is no darkness in him.Halleluja!!!

There is a difference always with people, or societies that have Jesus, and those without Him. When Jesus exists in someone, the behaviour, and the things one does totally differ. Jesus directs His people in some way that is different.

In what ways does Jesus provide light to the world?

Jesus says here "I am the light of the world". Jesus talks about this world as being in darkness.

Jesus provides light to the world by appearing in it, since he is the light.

If you are lost in a dark cave you can get out if someone from outside comes in with a torch and illuminates the way. This world is like a dark cave where everyone is covered by the darkness of their sins.

Jesus shines the light of truth on mankind and lets them see what they are, how lost they are.

Jesus shines the light also to show us the way to get to Heaven by following him who is the light.

In what ways does Jesus provide light to the world?

This is a huge question with a myriad of answers. First I will say how Jesus provides light at all. He truly is the Son of the Lord God Yahweh. The Good Light is the Father Creator, of course. The Father is with the Son; therefore, the Son's light is as intense, pure, and equal to that of the Father.

Jesus distributes His light in ways that will save souls. Jesus focuses on saving souls, not bodies nor families nor your health. The soul is from the Lord God, and it lasts forever.

I will use the word culture to mean how each person conditions his soul to love Jesus or to love this world and its possessions. Train is a rough synonym for culture, but it might help your thinking. If you wanted your daughter to marry a king, wouldn't you try to provide a culture during all her life that might stimulate her to love the mannerisms and tastes of a king? Wouldn't you educate her on the king's family and his familial lineage? Your daughter should get an insight into the king also if she knew what type of friends he keeps and what his goals in life are. Those are all common sense questions that fit in liking Jesus.

Jesus said that as people know Him, they also know the Father. We should follow Jesus's life as an example for our own. Jesus's example is light to the world. Jesus also said,"I am in you, as you are in Me, as I am in My Father. So, we see that we too may be a light to the world if we have Jesus within us. Therefore, if we want to be a Jesus light, we should discover how to invite Jesus into us. That is a lifetime goal: to encourage Jesus to come into us.

I think of Christians as little mirrors inside a huge dark mansion. Everything is total darkness. Christians should go wherever they are lead by the Great Spirit, since the Spirit clearly sees the hugh mansion as it actually is. We should wait patiently as the virgins with their lamps and provisioned oil of faith and patience. We should continually pray as we wait. Jesus will come as He knows best. Suddenly the Spirit of Christ comes. The atmoshere changes. The see the Light, Jesus. This happens in a matter of a couple of seconds.

Jesus is now upon us. His light goes to the "primary" mirrors. In turn the light goes to the secondary, tertiary, and on. All are important, and the light hitting the last mirrors is as intense as the Light, Son of God. Jesus is purity itself. The mirrors have been conditioned to purily reflect His light. The mansion is now filled with light, and we may now see the mansion as it actually is. Blessed be God forever.

Jesus provides light to the world by teaching the Gospel. Those of us don't know the Gospel are in the darkness, so with the word of God Jesus preaches we see light.

Jesus is light Himself. Light gives light to those who are in darkness. He is that light. The source of all light. The bible say the whole world lies under the sway of Satan's desception and dark blanket of lies. The true light that illuminate the dark world is Jesus who is light to the world.

I believe Jesus provides light to the world through our brothers & sisters in Christ that go around doing His will by preaching His word, visiting the sick, the imprisoned, feeding the hungry & praying for others.  His light shines through all of us through our good deeds. His light shines through the Church, the Pope and all His Priests & Clergy. Wherever two or three are gathered together in His Name, there His light will be provided.

The Validity of Jesus' Testimony

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don't know where I came from, or where I am going. You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one. Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me. It's also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid. I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?"
Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also." Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come. Jesus said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can't come."
The Jews therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you can't come?'"
He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world. I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM he, you will die in your sins."
They said therefore to him, "Who are you?"
Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
They didn't understand that he spoke to them about the Father. Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things. He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
