What is Light
.
What is light? “Light is an energy and a force” Light travels at 300,000 kilometers per second or ten thousand trillion kilometers per hour. This speed is almost incomprehensible. Light moves in waves and is an ever-moving form of energy, known as travelling energy. When you see an ocean wave move, it's not the water that actually moves but an invisible energy passing through the water using only the water as a medium to display its presence. Light is different it is a pure form of energy known as electromagnetic radiation. Light waves are a little more complicated as they do not need a medium to travel through they exist independently. Light is unique and amazing it can independently travel through the vacuum of space and needs no secondary medium to display itself like water or air. Light travels only ever outwards in straight lines directly from its source, the bible says,
Psalm 119: 105Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
The word of God (The Holy Bible) is a light unto our path. It is a temporal and physical representation of an eternal living and spiritual manifestation. Jesus is the living word, he alone holds all authority, all power, all dominion over all his creation and dwells in absolute truth in all holiness and perfection. The bible is the living word and our light, our heavenly inspired and God given direction. The word of God is unlike any other word, or book you might read it is a food and true substance to the soul. The word of God has the power to sustain us and uphold us within the very weave and fabric of life itself. The explanations into the fundamental depth and meaning of all life are contained therein. From Genesis to Revelation the bible is a complete and exact account of Gods purpose and plan, his will for mankind.
The bible is not just an intruction manual, not just a way of life, but it IS life. To those who are called by God, who are faithful and seek, pursue and obey his word, God is imparts more abundantly the very essence of life itself in us through it. Bread is a tangible substance we all know and love, but we must understand that earthly bread can only feed our earthly bodies. Well the word of God (The KJV Bible) is able to feed our spiritual bodies and souls. Man is more than just flesh and bone, we are body mind and spirit! The word of God is able to feed our eternal spirtual man the centre heart of our exsistance what we fundamentally are. It is as the bible say's, the bread of life. As believers grow in faith through the word they also become a beacon and light to others through that self same word.

John 1:1-5, 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Genesis 1: 3 - 4, 3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
God makes it clear to us from the beginning of the bible that his authority and power over all things is absolute. The bible tells us that the word is quick and sharp and more powerful that any two-edged sword. The God of the bible is the most high God and there is no other like him. He is in truth the King of all Kings and his sovereign rights give him solely the pre-eminence over all his creation. He should then be pre-eminent in our lives also. Jesus will return soon, and when he does he will judge and destroy everything that exalts itself above God. So we see that the bible tells us that God created Light. God is the source originator and creator of light. If anyone doubts God’s existence then they should also doubt the light that they can plainly see all around them everyday. The bible tells us that God is light and in him is no darkness at all.
Psalm 27, 1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
These wonderful words written by the psalmist David speak of the tremendous confidence David had in God’s ability and absolute authority. Light is something that those who have the ability to see put there full trust and confidence in. David had seen God in his spirit. Knowing who God was and what he had done gave David the ability to be fully convinced and trust his heavenly father. Light then is not only our guide but our protection light gives assurance of our direction and illuminates our path giving us the confidence to know that we will obtain and reach our destination in complete safety. Jesus himself drew direct comparison between the spiritual light and darkness and the physical light and darkness he explained in,
John 11: 9-10, 9Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
We see in the bible comparisons being made between light and darkness. Jesus mentions at the end of verse 10 that the man stumbleth because there is no light in him. To receive light in your body, you need to possess the correct equipment to see that light. God has given us physical eyes to see the temporal light. We need spiritual sight to see and perceive the things of heaven and of God. Darkness represents folly or foolishness, shrouds a hidden evil or harm, consumes a persons life deceiving them making them believe that there is no other better way. Convincing them to believe a lie, depriving a person of the true light and sight stealing from them their birthright to enjoy the fullness and goodness of God. Light represents truth, vision, sight transparency, wisdom, clarity of thought, understanding, health and goodness. The bible says,
Luke 1 :78-79, 78Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, 79To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
At night the physical darkness that surrounds us all, envelopes and encloses, oppresses, encircles and shrouds. The spiritual darkness that works in this world, is similar yet different. A subversive, deceptive tar like undercurrent. Billions of souls are led away then enticed by it's crafty yet subtle allure. Self is seduced by itself, until perpetually consumed and destroyed. Poisoned in a self willed indulgence of iggnorance, lost in a wilderness, your strangled to the heart. Ever only worshipping your error, in your own eyes everything seems right, just as it always has, yet in reality, in the light of day your a slave of corruption and helplessly bound. Unable to save yourself, spiritually blind, deaf, numb and dumb, darkend and drained. Robbed of the truth, starved of freedom, how shall you escape? and recieve true light and real life within.
The existence of all civilisation is left shipwrecked in the wake of spiritual darkness's path. Light lifts and opens up, invigorates and reveals, expands and frees and gives life. We see in these two entities two very opposite attributes, we also see the embodiment of two very different masters, both sin and righteousness. Many people believe that there is no evil, that there is no darkness that all things are good and are to be enjoyed if it brings pleasure to the participant. They say it must be all-good if we enjoy it. This is a very popular hedonistic belief amongst those who are perishing in darkness and sin.
You see if the enemy can get the unbeliever so lost in himself wrapt up in his or her own self gratification, pride and obsession for pleasure. Preoccupied with the cares of this world and the pleasures of this life the needs of this life the wants of this life. Always only ever looking inwards and downwards and never outwards and upwards to their creator. So concerned for his or hers own ways and rights, Then Gods ways and rights will mean nothing to them. You may say to yourself why shouldn’t I look after myself and take care of myself giving in to every whim and pleasure for myself seems perfectly natural. It is perfectly natural for a man or woman born in sin and darkness, to die in those sins. Naturally ignorant of the darkness that is separating them from a very real true and living God. Ultimately a lifetime of separation from the light and life of God brings eternal death. The bible says the wages of sin is death, This is why we need a light a blessed gospel light.
2 Corinthians 4, 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Light reveals all that is cast upon it. In truth there are only two absolutes light and darkness, Truth and untruth, Jesus is the Light because he is all truth and all righteousness. He transcends our every care and problem there is nothing hidden from him that he does not know nor revealed. However all that light is, Both physical and spiritual and all that it does and all of its power to reveal truth cannot truly be appreciated or acknowledged by a man who is born Physically and or Spiritually blind. Light often generates heat and that heat can be felt by even a blind person. If such a one refuses to acknowledge the existence of the truths radiant heat then they knowingly deceive themselves.
John 3, 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
Jesus Christ’s Immaculate Conception, birth, spirit led walk obedient life and death. Bring into perspective both the divine eternal and the physical temporal realities of Jesus Christ’s mission and existence in this world. Jesus’ in his physical form lived was crucified and died as a sacrifice for our sins. Jesus’ eternal yet invisible spirit and soul dwelt and walked in heavenly places with his father, though his physical appearance allured to him being Just a man. The irrefutable unarguable historical truth about his works deeds and miracles are a testimony to the fact, that Jesus Christ was also very much God. God The father lives in heaven where there is no night and no darkness. The bible tells us, In God himself there is no shadow of turning. There is no sun in heaven to give light, but God himself is the light of Heaven and Jesus the word is the light of men
John 12, 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. John 8, 12Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Becoming a Christian is not just about attending church services or being a do-gooder. To become a true Christian a person must be changed and transformed from within, the bible tells us, that we are new creatures in Christ. The bible tells us that Christians are the true light of this world, then as we live through Christ we will reflect exactly the light and life that Jesus lived and portrayed. Jesus was connected to the heavenly source in his spirit through the spirit of truth the Holy Spirit. We also must receive Gods Spirit through repentance and obey the light of Gods word, if we want to be connected to the heavenly source. The very word Christian is derived from being Christ Like, living and walking in the likeness of Christ. Jesus himself was not born by the will of a man nor the will of the flesh but of God. If we are to be Christ like then we have to be born not only of the flesh and the will of man but born again in the spirit and the will of God. So that truly God can receive us as sons and daughters in all holiness and consecration to him. That the light and peace of God and his son and spirit may shine with all brightness in our hearts and lives. Walking then as children of the day and not as children of the night.
