The first words spoken by God as recorded in the Holy Scriptures are, "Let There Be Light."
On that first day of creation, after God created the heavens and the earth, He spoke light into being. Light is a dynamic metaphor throughout Holy Writ - as is darkness.
2 Corinthians 4:6, tells us, "For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ."
Light Illuminates - darkness hides. Light gives direction - darkness gives delusion. Light gives life - darkness gives despair.
Light! Out the Darkness Light! One single flame tonight will glow throughout the earth.
Jesus said, "I am the light of the world."
