God revealed Himself to mankind in Jesus Christ. But the world rejected this revelation because it is mankinds nature to sin against God... "And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil" (John 3:19). People who dont believe Christ stay out of His light because the exposure of their condemnation and evil deeds is discomforting. Those who allow the light to penetrate their lives grow to love it and become reflections of its source. Since Christ has returned to the right hand of the Father, the reflection of His light is all that is in the world today. The only way the world sees Christ during this age is in the lives of His disciples. "Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you" (John 12:35) "if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).
