Jesus is the light of this world

We should be so thankful that Jesus came to save us and that he came to be a light for us in the darkness of this world.  He came and manifested such grace and truth in our midst. It says in John 8:12 (NKJV) "12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”  If we make a decision and a choice to accept Jesus Christ into our life and to follow him, we will not walk in darkness.  You see there is no darkness in God or there is no other essence in him but light.  We can evaluate our walk with the Lord Jesus by simply taking stock of ourselves and measuring that against the teachings of the Holy Spirit as recorded in the Bible.
