Scripture Reading: 1 John 1
This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. *1 John 1:5
In the introduction, the Apostle John stated that he was writing about things he had heard, seen, and touched. Here he began with the message he and the disciples heard from Jesus concerning the Father – God is Light.
What does it mean when the scriptures describe God as light? It means that God is self-revealing. Just as it is the nature of light to reveal itself, so is it the nature of God to reveal Himself. God has first revealed Himself through His creation and more clearly through the coming of Jesus Christ. In Christ, God makes His light known.
God shows Himselfself to us in various ways.
