A young boy had a question for his Sunday school teacher. In the Bible Jesus says, "I am the Light of the world" (John 8:12). Also, in the Bible Jesus says, "You are the light of the world" (Matthew 5:14). What the student wanted to know was this, "Who is the light of the world?" The teacher tried to tell the boy that both statements are true. Jesus is the Light of the world, but how is that light brought into the world? Jesus uses us to reflect his light into a world made dark by sin. The Sunday school teacher tried to explain this to the student by using an illustration.
