“So Jesus said to them, ‘The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become [children] sons of light.’”
—John 12:35-36

The children of light are also children of God and peacemakers of this world (Matthew 5:9).
Those who do not walk in the light of Christ are not advocates of communal and global peace. They do not follow the way of the Messiah Jesus and are alienated from the ethical knowledge of God.

Those who have identified with Jesus morally and ethically do not endorse the political order and economic decisions that produce chaos or disorder in their community—i.e. political unrest, human suffering, alienation, death—nor do they stand on the side of global darkness and international oppression towards vulnerable countries and peoples. They are the light of the world and unapologetic about their moral convictions and Jesus-centered leadership.
