The Gentiles are in the dark even though we are intellectual and have achievements much. We were and still can be in the dark when we do not have a right relationship with God through Jesus who is full of grace and truth. Gentiles live in darkness until the gospel of Jesus is welcomed within and without. I did not know God, nor his truth. Now I do. All prior revelations were dark.
Apostle John also wrote in his gospel, “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.” (John 3:19-21)
Christ is the light to the Gentiles. Those who have Jesus in their hearts become lights to others. He speaks and works through us. Jesus said, “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.” (Luke 8:16)
Jesus’s revelation light is more than thought and wisdom. Jesus revelation light is life. The Apostle John wrote in his gospel account, “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.” (John 1:3-5) Jesus is a light of revelation to the Gentiles. Let my light shine so others can become lit through my testimony.
