For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined

in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the

face of Jesus Christ. (II. Corinthians 4;6).

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ” I am the light of the world. Whoever

follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”

(John 8;12).

Just as physical light is essential to life, spiritual Light in the Person

of Jesus is vital for Life. This is why Jesus says, when we follow Him

we will never walk in darkness, but have the light of Life. Because He

is the Light of Life. And God Who has said,’Let there be light!’ in the

beginning, has shone in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge

of the glory of God in the Face (Person) of Jesus.

This Light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the Face of Jesus is

better understood in contrast. As light is best appreciated when contrasted

to darkness.In the same way the contrasts of righteousness to sin, life to

death, health to sickness allow the appreciation of each gift. This is what

St. Paul does when he says:’ And even if our gospel ( Best News Ever)

is hid, it is hid to them that are lost. In whom the god of this world has

blinded the minds of those who believe not, lest the light of the glorious

gospel (Best News Ever) of Christ, Who is the image of God (Imago Dei),

should shine unto them.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves

your servants for Jesus’ sake.

For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined

in our hearts, to give the Light of the Knowledge of the Glory of God in the

Face (Person) of Jesus Christ.

Without Jesus there is only spiritual darkness and shadows. Jesus is the

Light of Life.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
