'LIGHT-A KEY ELEMENT DESCRIBING OUR LORD'(PART 2)

I bring you PART 2 of the Series 'LIGHT-A KEY ELEMENT DESCRIBING OUR LORD' today.

We ended on 'ON THIS MORNING' last Friday on the one& only true source of LIGHT.

Today,we zoom straight into the Scriptures but to first let's capture what the DIVINE source says:

Genesis1:3
'AND GOD SAID,“LET THERE BE LIGHT,”AND THERE WAS LIGHT.'

This was the first mention of LIGHT so far as the Holy Book is concerned.
Well, reading on in the Genesis account,LIGHT couldn't co-exist with darkness and so was divided.

He called the LIGHT day&Darkness night.He did this through the same LIGHT which he established in the firmament of the Heavens.

LIGHT had to reign so he made greater light for day and the lesser light for the night.(which was the darkness)

Okayy, so throughout the Old testament account,LIGHT played essentially these roles&still is:
 
* For signs,seasons,days&years(Gen.1:14)
* A key components in Sacrifices at the time with the use of lamps
( Exod. 40:25,Num.8:2)
* LIGHT represents Hope.( I kings 11:36&2kings 8:19-)

*In 2Kings 7:7,we see the word twilight& the running away from morning light. We see it as a strategy in attacks& wars (dwelling on its seasons&times)

A look into the New testament sharply divide LIGHT into 2 divisions.
That's You as the LIGHT& JESUS(GOD) as the ultimate representation of  LIGHT which we bear.

However, let's look its other mentions:Lighting are obviously associated.We see in Matt.3:16,when after Jesus was baptised& the spirit descended like a dove; we see a LIGHTING upon him.

Others in Matt. 24:27,Luke 10:18& many others where LIGHNTING shows the doomful side of God.

Light gives us SIGHT that's why the Bible says the eye is the LIGHT of the body.
(Corrupt it, you corrupt the whole body-Luke 11:34)

In Acts, Paul met the LIGHT of God at the road to Damascus upon his conversion. What about Peter in prison when the shine of  LIGHT FREED them.

Beloved, have you noticed the immediate appearance of LIGHT don't only make us see
but are able to see things very well. That is ENLIGHTENMENT
(Eph1:18).

All these are what GOD (Jesus) is to us.That's why John 8:12 says “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

1John1:5b
'This is the message we have heard from you and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Most importantly, this is what he has made us because he being LIGHT dwells in us.

We can't never fail to illuminate this light because in
Ephesians 5:8 he says
'For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.
THEREFORE,
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Let your LIGHT so shine before men, ,that they may see your good works&glotify your father wjich is in Heaven.(Matt.5:14&16)

LIGHT gives ,hope,faith, purity,life and above all is of GOD.

SO I SAY:
LIGHT IS A KEY ELEMENT DESCRIBING OUR GOD.
