I have come a light into the world, that
whosoever believeth in Me may not abide in darkness (John
12:35, 36, 46).
Light has come into the world, but men have loved the
darkness rather than the light (John 3:19).
John says of the Lord:
This is the true light which lighteneth every man (John
1:9).
The people that sit in darkness have seen a great light,
and to them that were sitting in the shadow of death light
is sprung up (Matt. 4:16).
I will give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light
of the Gentiles (Isa. 13:6).
I have established Thee for a light of the Gentiles that
Thou mayest be My salvation unto the end of the earth
(Isa. 19:6).
The nations of them that are saved shall walk in His light
(Apoc. 21:24).
Send out Thy light and Thy truth; let them lead me (Psalm
43:3).
In these and other passages the Lord is called light from Divine
truth, which is from Him; and the truth itself is likewise called
light. As light in the heavens is from the Lord as a sun, so when He
was transfigured before Peter, James, and John:
His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white
as the light (Matt.
