② lights up darkness so we can see

Darkness: state of no light

1) True spiritual meaning of light and its importance

Jn 1:1-5	Word = God, life, light
Ps 119:105	(revealed) word = light
Lk 8:11	Word = seed

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1Pet 1:23	Reborn of the word
Acts 17:29	God’s offspring
Mt 5:14	light

⏵ Word = God, word = light so those who are reborn of God’s word become God’s offspring and children of light who are able to enter God’s kingdom of heaven.

∴ Light = word of life, darkness = ignorance of the word

▮ Revealed word = light

⏵ why the word is called light: just as people cannot live without light, people cannot live without God and the word.
