Light

The theme light is one of the most common themes through out the bible, starting in Genesis 1:3 - Let there be light. It is interesting for me as I continue on this journey and delve deeper into my relationship how the Holy Spirit is moving things in my life, opening my eyes to see things I have never seen before, opening my heart to feel things I have never felt. This was the scripture from last week's service...

Ephesians 5:8 14
8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10and find out what pleases the Lord. 11Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

New Living Translation - my Bible

8 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! 9 For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.


Light is mentioned 237 times in the Bible...NKJV
