The Light

Christ is the true light (John 1:9), the light of the world (John 8:12), the light of life (John 8:12), the light of the Gentiles (Isaiah 42:6), the light of Israel (Isaiah 10:17), the light of the knowledge of the glory of God (2 Corinthians 4:6), the everlasting light (Isaiah 60:20) and His countenance as the sun shines in His strength (Revelation 1:16).

As you can see from these references, Christ is “the Light” (John 12:36). The sun gives us light in the physical world during the day. The moon and stars give us light during the night. Those lights are helpful, but getting light from “the Light” is much more important than physical light.

Christ’s light is for the whole world. His light gives us access to the glory of God and Jesus’ light gives us strength. His light gives us spiritual life, which is everlasting spiritual life. Christ’s light gives us proper spiritual knowledge.
