(Jesus said) "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing." (John 9:5-7) (John 8:12; 9:5)
Jesus showed forth his glory by the miracles and healings that he did. (Jn 2:11)
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. (John 14:20)
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." (Acts 1:8)
Jesus' life is the life I have now received; He is in me and I am a member in particular of his glorious church. I have received the baptism/filling of the Holy Ghost that I might be empowered to be his witness.
So now; as long as I am in the world; I am the light of the world. My purpose is to show forth the glory of the one who saved me; filled me and sent me.
"Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth." (John 8:49-50)
Like Jesus I seek not my own glory.
"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matt 5:14-16)
