  1. And this is the message that we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.

    1 John 1:5

  2. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the expanse proclaims the work of his hands. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, and there are no words; their voice is not heard. Their measuring line goes out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming out from his wedding chamber; it rejoices like a warrior to run its course. Its rising is from the ends of the heavens, and its circuit to their ends, and nothing is hidden from its heat. The law of Yahweh is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of Yahweh is trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Yahweh is radiant, enlightening the eyes. The fear of Yahweh is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of Yahweh are true, they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, your servant is warned by them; in keeping them there is a great reward. Who can discern errors? Absolve me from hidden faults. Also keep back your servant from insolent sins; do not let them rule over me. Then I will be blameless, and I will be innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before you, Yahweh, my rock and my redeemer.

    Psalm 19.1-14

  3. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under the basket, but on the lampstand, and it shines for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

    Matthew 5:14-16

  4. And this is the message that we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

    1 John 1:5-7

  5. And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years,"

    Genesis 1:14

  6. And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. And God made the two great lights—the greater light for ruling the day and the lesser light for ruling the night—and the stars. And God placed them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.

    Genesis 1:14-19

  7. In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not mastered it. There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, so that he might testify about the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came that he might testify about the light. The true light that gives light to every person was coming into the world.

    John 1:4-9

  8. Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."

    John 8:12

  9. We must do the works of the one who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

    John 9:4-5

  10. Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

    John 11:9-10

  11. Then the crowd answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever, and how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?" So Jesus said to them, "The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness does not overtake you. And the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light." Jesus said these things, and he went away and hid himself from them.

    John 12:34-36

  12. Again, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. The one who says that he is in the light and hates his fellow countryman is in the darkness until now. The one who loves his fellow countryman resides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But the one who hates his fellow countryman is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

    1 John 2:8-11

  13. in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, would not shine on them. For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus' sake. For God, who said "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the one who shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

    2 Corinthians 4:4-6

  14. Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here; I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her radiance was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. It had a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. On the east three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold, so that he might measure the city and its gates and its wall. And the city lies square, and its length is as great as the width. And he measured the city with the rod to fifteen hundred stadia; its length and width and height are equal. And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits by human measure, which is the angel's. And the building material of its wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. The foundations of the city wall were decorated with every kind of precious stone: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was made from a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb. And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon so that they may shine on it, for the glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. And the nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. And its gates will never be shut by day, for there will be no night there. And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. And never will anything unclean enter into it, and anyone who practices detestable things and falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

    Revelation 21:9-27

  15. Then Jesus cried out and said, "The one who believes in me does not believe in me, but in the one who sent me. And the one who sees me sees the one who sent me. I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness. And if anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him, for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. The one who rejects me and does not accept my words has one who judges him: the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment, what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Therefore, what I speak, just as the Father has told me, so I speak."

    John 12:44-50

  16. "Now, Master, you are dismissing your servant in peace, according to your word, because my eyes have seen your salvation, that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel."

    Luke 2:29-32

  17. the only one who has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no human has seen nor is able to see, to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

    1 Timothy 6:16

  18. No one has ever seen God. The only God, who is at the Father's side, that one has made him known.

    John 1:18

  19. And leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, saying: "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, a light has dawned upon them." From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near."

    Matthew 4:13-17

  20. Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children, and walk in love, just as also Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma. Therefore do not become partners with them. For you were at one time darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light—for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth—trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even expose them, for it is shameful even to speak of the things happening secretly by them. But all things being exposed by the light are made visible, for everything that makes visible is light. Therefore it says, "Awake, sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

    Ephesians 5:1-2 & 7-14

  21. "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has dawned upon you. For look, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness the peoples, but Yahweh will dawn upon you, and his glory will appear over you. And nations will walk by your light, and kings by the brightness of your dawning. Lift up your eyes round about and see: they all gather; they come to you; your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried on the hip."

    Isaiah 60:1-4
