3. The LIGHT

Dear Friends,

Greetings to you in the Mighty and Matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Hope you all are safe and sound by the Grace of our God JEHOVAH RAPHA.

In the previous topic "The Creator's Creation" We have meditated up to some extent on His Great Creation. We cannot express all the things He did, but we must meditate on a few things. Because our Lord has kept many of His creations as shadows. Our Faith will further strengthen by meditating on them, so I will try to put each of them before you.

Now let's walk into the  'Light' (THE LIGHT), our selected Topic.

Let us first see what the scholars and researchers in the world says about the subject of 'Light' and then let us understand the clarity of the Lord's Light in the scriptures.

See below the contents of human knowledge in the form of Question and Answer.

1. What is light?

Light is a kind of energy that allows us to see the world around us. Light is an important element in our daily lives. It guides us throughout the day, waking us up in the morning and getting us to sleep at night. Light is an inverted, electromagnetic wave that can be seen by the average human being.

2. Where does this 'light' come from?

Our main natural light sources are the sun and the stars. Light from the sun travels through space and reaches the earth, where it becomes "scattered" when it hits various particles and molecules in the atmosphere. This light travels through the atmosphere and then reaches the Earth's surface.

3. How do humans use light?

The light from the sun is all around us. We can use it to communicate, navigate, direct, learn, and explore. There is so much more light than we can detect with our eyes. There is no atmosphere in space or scattering light on the moon. All the colors travel in a straight line together without breaking the light coming from the sun.

4. How fast does light travel?

The speed of light in a vacuum is 1,86,282 miles per second (2,99,792 kilometers per second), and in theory, there is nothing faster than light. Per hour (in miles), the speed of light is very high: about 670,616,629 mph.

5. What happens if there is no light?

Without light, nothing is visible to our eyes. Because light is what gives our eyes the power to see, we become blind without light. Photosynthesis causes plants to release oxygen, which is used for gravity. Without light, all of this would not be possible. 

Now let’s get into the scriptures.

How did the light come about? The verse says that God created light with the single word "let there be light". Then he separated the light from the darkness and made the sun to shine, and the moon to shine;

 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:16-18.

That means God created the Light before the Sun created! Where did that light come from? The answer to this is stated by God Himself in the form of a question in the book of Job. “What is the way to the abode of light? Job 38:19.  It mean to say that, the place where the light lives is different. But where is it?  Daniel has the answer. "and light dwells with him. Daniel 2:22."   David also gives another clarification. "The Lord wraps himself in the light as with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a tent 104:2."

 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him, there is no darkness at all. 1John 1:5".

That means He is radiating light on us. "His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden. Habakkuk 3:4. who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. 1Timothy 6:16.

What makes sense to me about this is that God, our Father said, "Let there be light and light in this great universe, which is shrouded in darkness." Then the light separated the darkness and assigned laws to the Universe. Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up God’s[a] dominion over the earth? Job 38:33

We are not in the light of something accidentally born. We are in that light that surrounds us with Almighty God. "The Lord is God, and he has made his light shine on us." Psalm 118: 27, likewise David perceived by the Spirit, "Let the light of your face shine on us." Psalm 4: 6, says with a request. 

He is the light we see. His facial expression. We see the light coming from His presence, in His Word, to fulfill His will. After a while, this sun and moon will no longer exist. We can see with our own eyes the light of His light which we now see as a shadow and rejoice in Him. "The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end." Isaiah 60:19-20.

The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. Rev.21:23

If this light from His presence seems so great to us, and if we have the opportunity to come into His presence and spend ages there with Him, will we give up? Don't give up at all! Do not give up. Because even that opportunity was sent for us by God our Father in the form of light. "The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him." John 1:9,10.

See how the sons of Korah prayed to Him, filled by the spirit of God. 

Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain,to the place where you dwell. Psalms 43:3 

That light came on. Come and said, "When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “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

He came as the Son of Man to take us to his dwelling place, so He said “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you." Isaiah 60:1. Now that we have accepted him and are searching for him, "You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence." Psalms 90:8 So when we admit them and leave, That true light leads us to enter into that eternal kingdom that does not want to be the light of the sun, the light of the moon. "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." John 12:46

That light is our Lord Jesus. "When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “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. "In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind."John 1:4, "As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work."John 9:4, "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness."John 12:46.

This is why it is said:“Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead,and Christ will shine on you.”

He has made us, the established lineage, the royal priesthood, the holy people, the people who belong to God, to proclaim the attributes of the One who called us out of darkness into his wonderful light, and to lead many into that light upon which we are enlightened. When we perfectly fulfill His will .........“Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[a] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other." Mathew 24:30-31.

When we are born into His light, when we fall into spiritual darkness, His great Son's plan is to send His Son into the light, to be lit in His light, to walk in His light and to enter into the everlasting kingdom. The Lord is not far from us. They were with us, entered into us and lit us up. He came to light and made us light.

 Would not the mind be overwhelmed if one reads the words of the Lord! Now the time is August 26 at 3am. If you meditate on the plans of that lover, I admire his light. There is still a lot to say. My life is as satisfying as the fat brain that David was.

Meditate on those scriptures, too, and rejoice in that glorious light. May the grace of the Lord be with you.

Light of the world

You stepped down into darkness

Opened my eyes, let me see

Beauty that made this heart adore You

Hope of a life spent with You

Here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that You're my God
