What are characteristics of light that illumine our understanding of spiritual truth?
Light enables us to see. Our eyes are one of the greatest parts of God’s creation but without light they cannot see anything. We must have spiritual sight also or we are blind and do not understand. “. . . the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not. . . .” 2 Cor. 4:4 “For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2 Cor. 4:6 ESV “ having the eyes of your hearts enlightened,” Eph. 1:18 ESV
Light reveals what is there that had been hidden in darkness.
Light is antiseptic, especially the light of the sun.
Light brings life—through photosynthesis.
“In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” John 1:4
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. John 3:19-21
