Light of the World in the Bible: Matthew 5:13-15 http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.5.13-Matt.5.15&version=NIV 2009-07-17T08:40:01-05:00 Jesus' followers are described as the "light of the world." Just as it would be pointless to turn on a light and then cover it up, it would be foolish if we accepted Christ and then made no effort to do his work in the world. Christians are to spread the light of truth on the world around them.
