About three months ago I preached a message in this church on a Sunday titled 'The Spiritual Significance of Light', tonight's message 'The Spiritual Essence Of The Light' is a similar message, so I will touch on many of the things I touched on from the former message.
We are looking into the subject of LIGHT tonight because of what the Lord laid in my heart about the year ahead.

What is light ?
It is the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible.
Light is illumination, brightness, lustre, a glow, a dazzle.
Light is illumination, brightness, lustre, a glow, a dazzle.
For example lamps and light bulbs shine light that is electrically powered.
The sun shines forth light that is used for solar energy.
Every form of light is generated from a source.
So lamps, lanterns, torch lights, light bulbs and the sun are different forms of light sources that are useful to us. Light is always useful!
As light is useful physically, it is ALSO useful spiritually. Light is significant and Jesus identified with it. Jesus even called himself THE LIGHT.
Everything positive, everything divine, everything good, everything Holy, everything pure, and everything God is represented by light.
