Commentary on John 9:5
Theological / DevotionalAs long as. This does not mean that Jesus was the light of the world only during the time of His historic sojourn upon earth, for He is still the light of the world. He referred particularly to His role as the “light” during the time He walked visibly among men. The Greek has no article before light, nor does it express separately the pronoun “I” as in the statement “I am the light of the world” (ch. 8:12). For the significance of the figure see on ch. 1:4, 5; cf. DA 464, 465.
