"I am the light of the world"

The following except from John, chapter 9 have inspired me a lot today in this world of disbelief :

1: As he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.

2: And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

3: Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.

4: We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day; night comes, when no one can work.

5: As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

6: As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed the man's eyes with the clay,

7: saying to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Silo'am" (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.

8: The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar, said, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"

9: Some said, "It is he"; others said, "No, but he is like him." He said, "I am the man."
