Jesus said, “I Am the Light of the World” while
attending the Feast of Tabernacles, one of three national festivals the Jews
celebrated and the one that celebrated the exodus wilderness journey in
particular. In that journey, God led the
Israelites with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. During the feast, the Jews lit a huge
candelabra to remember God’s presence on their journey, and it was by that
candelabra that Jesus made his claim. He
was revealing both himself as God and the nature of God as the Light that
guides us at the same time.
