When
Jesus spoke again
to the people, he said,
"I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

He spoke to the people. The people listened. People always in wait
for a charismatic leader. There are many leaders. But have no full
trust of the ordinary people. Leadership is politics. Nothing to do
with people. Charismatic leader is rare. But the rare one is remembered
for ever by people. JC had and still have that unique charisma. This
charisma is "light" like a torch. No explanation is necessary. You see,
and you identify with it right away. On the other hand, the "darkness"
is the no-charisma life. Ordinary, everyday life like flat, dull, habitual,
uninteresting, full with misery and Pharisee-Laws.
