Why are Jesus` followers called children of light?
Children of light are those who believe in the Light of Jesus, follow His teachings and live righteously as best they know how, resisting the darkness of fleshly desires - putting Christ and His commandments first. This is ever so much easier said than done!! By: Patty - February 08, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Predicts His Death

Why are Jesus` followers called children of light?
This is because Jesus himself is the light and those who walk with him as followers are children of light that he emits. By: Bol Joseph Agau - February 08, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Predicts His Death

Now there were
certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast. These, therefore, came to
Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying,
"Sir, we want to see Jesus." Philip came and told Andrew, and
in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus. Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Most certainly I tell
you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by
itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. He who loves his life will lose
it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
If anyone serves me, let
him follow me. Where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves
me, the Father will honor him.
"Now my soul is troubled.
What shall I say? 'Father, save me from this time?' But for this cause I
came to this time. Father, glorify your
name!" Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both
glorified it, and will glorify it again."
The multitude
therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others
said, "An angel has spoken to him."
Jesus answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.
Now is the judgment of
this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from
the earth, will draw all people to myself." But he said this, signifying by
what kind of death he should die. The multitude answered him,
"We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do
you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is
this Son of Man?"
Jesus therefore said
to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you.
Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn't overtake you. He who
walks in the darkness doesn't know where he is going. While you have the light,
believe in the light, that you may become children of light."
Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
