Isaiah 58:8-9 – “Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.  Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: ‘Here am I.’ ”

The Bible gives many different names and titles for the Lord Jesus: the Word, the Son of Man, the Desired of the Nations, etc.  Some of these are vivid comparisons to everyday objects, showing one of the aspects through which He reveals Himself: the Bread of Life (John 6:35; John 6:48), the Light of the World (John 8:12, John 9:5), the Gate (John 10:7; John 10:9), and the Bright Morning Star (Revelation 22:16).
