LET THERE BE LIGHT

   God's first creative work was light, and life is sustained by light.  Cover the light and all living matter on earth would die.
   God gave us eyes to see in the light; for if light did not exist, we would not need eyes.
   Jesus is the Light of the world.
      In him was life; and the life was the light of men.  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.  (John 1: 4-5)
   When we come to know Christ, the Light that He is becomes the light in us:  which is why the children of God are children of light.
      Ye are the light of the world.  A city that is set on a hill cannot hide.  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.  (Matthew 5: 14-16)
   Therefore, arise out of darkness, and come to the Light. 
   Open your eyes and let the Son shine in.
   When you go home, turn on the lights:  and darkness will flee.
   When you turn on your light for Christ, people of darkness will flee.
   God gave us eyes to see in the light, but He also gave us ears to hear Him speak; and He speaks to us through His Word, for it is written:
      And God said, Let there be light:  and there was light.  And God saw the light, that it was good:  and God divided the light from the darkness.  (Genesis 1: 3-4)
   For even heaven itself is a place of light and never a dark day:
      And I saw no temple therein:  for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.  And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it:  for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.  And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it:  and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.  (Revelation 21: 22-24)
   As a final note, the word "light" is mentioned in the Bible 12,440 times.
