Spiritually, “light” represents God’s divine truth, life, and purity, while “darkness” symbolizes spiritual blindness, evil, Satan, and separation from Him. Spiritually, God’s “light” shines through love, kindness, and moral clarity, while “darkness” appears as selfishness, injustice, sin, and the brokenness we see in society daily.

It leads to spiritual blindness, moral confusion, and deep emptiness, ultimately separating people from God’s guidance, truth, and eternal peace.

This lesson is right on, I just want to add what my understanding also is:
Jesus was speaking in the Treasury—the part of the Temple where the offerings would be given and where candles burned to symbolize the pillar of fire that had led the people of Israel through the wilderness. In this context, Jesus called himself the Light of the World. The pillar of fire represented God’s presence, protection, and guidance. Likewise, Jesus brings God’s presence, protection, and guidance follows his captain, we should follow Jesus, our commander.
