Light of the World verses:

John 1:9, That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

John 3:19, And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

John 8:12, Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

John 9:5, As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

John 11:9, "Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

II Corinthians 4:4, In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

And these joyous words are from the mouth of Simeon, the man who was given the gift of seeing the face of Messiah in his lifetime. Luke 2: 28-32, "Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
I LOVE this artwork:

Do you see the map of the world in the background?
This passage means more and more to me. A man of God blessed with answered prayer of SEEING Messiah face to face in his lifetime! And though Simeon was a devout Jew, he knew Messiah, and he knew that Messiah was not just for the Jews, but born to be GOD'S SALVATION and a Light to the Gentiles! That's ME!
I do not know the artist! If you do, could you please E-mail Me?

Yes indeed, the Light of the World is JESUS!
