PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #28: LIGHT OF THE WORLD - TO PHOS TOU KOSMOU
Key Scripture’s : John 8:12

Understanding the Name:
The Hebrew Scriptures are full of images that link God with light—pillers of fire, burning lamps, consuming fire. Such images are often associated with God’s nearness or his presence. John’s gospel portrays Jesus as the embodiment of the divine light, a light so powerful that it cannot be overcome by the darkness of sin and death. Though Satan tries to disguise himself as an angel light, he is light’s opposite— the prince of darkness.

The phrase “to phos tou kosmou” (to FOHS tou KOS-mou)--- the light of the world —appears three times in the New Testament (Matthew 5:14; John 8:12; 9:5) it is a distinctive phrase spoken only by Jesus, who uses it twice to refer to himself and once to refer to his disciples, who are to reflect his light through their good deeds.

Just as natural light is essential to life on earth, Christ’s light is essential to unending life with God. Whoever believes in his light becomes like him, reflecting his brightness by walking in his light and obeying his commands.
