“Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
-Matt. 5:14–16.
I love the concept of Light. Not only physcially, but spiritually as well. I also love the fact that when Christ was crucified - how the earth and everything, became dark for 3 days while he was gone from the earth. And with His resurrection - he brought the Light both physically and spiritually back to the earth. Because He IS the Light.
In the Bible Dictionary, the definition for Light is as follows:
The light of Christ is just what the words imply: enlightenment, knowledge, and an uplifting, ennobling, persevering influence that comes upon mankind because of Jesus Christ. For instance, Christ is “the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world." The light of Christ fills the “immensity of space” and is the means by which Christ is able to be “in all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things.” It “giveth life to all things” and is “the law by which all things are governed.” It is also “the light that quickeneth” man’s understanding. In this manner, the light of Christ is related to man’s conscience and tells him right from wrong.
You were born to shine. ☼
