Jesus is the light shining brightly in the darkness of the world. Here He is warning that soon He will depart, and they will have to make their own choices. To either walk in His light or walk in the darkness of sin & spiritual blindness. Isaiah 9:2 tells us that the Lord’s light is blessing and judgment…it also stands for His Presence and revelation. But sadly, as Jesus told the people, it’s when we exchange His light for the darkness of our corrupt minds, we will experience His judgment and live in the darkness of separation from God.
