Series ~ This
series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God. Generally, we move in alphabetical order.
Introduction ~ When
we say God is light we are not referring to physical light (which God created)
but rather spiritual light.
Scripture ~ “In
the beginning was the Word [Jesus Christ], and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. He was in the beginning
with God. All things were made through
Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light
of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not
comprehend it.
“There
was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness
of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear
witness of that Light. That was the true
Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.
“He
was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not
know Him. He came to His own, and His
own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right
to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not
of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John
1:1-13)
“Then
Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness,
but have the light of life’” (John 8:12).
Jesus
said, “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world” (John
9:5).
Jesus
also said, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it
gives light to all who are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works
and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-17).
Comment ~ Jesus
as the “light of the world” is a very complex topic. In his critically acclaimed book Robert Lloyd
Russell has unraveled, in laymen’s language, many mysteries involved in this
topic.
