I was at Jamoka’s yesterday having our weekly college Bible Study with Snead State students when we got off on the topic of light.  We were studying John chapter one where it talks about how Jesus is the light.  I just wanted to share some of the statements and conclusions that were reached.  I thought they were very interesting.  I’ll just list them as statements mainly because I can’t remember everyone’s name(sorry guys).

1.  Light is reflective just as Christ is to be reflected by us.
2.  The very first thing God spoke into existence was light.
3.  In Quantum physics properties of photons when you split a photon it doesn’t matter how far you separate it when you change the property of one piece it changes the other.  Photons are light particles.  One student stated this proves that God is a constant.
4.  Ecclesiastes chapter eight talks about men trying to make their shadows longer and how futile it was.  This represents how futile it is for us to try to play god.
5.  The light of God’s glory was so bright it physically affected Moses.  His own face shined.
6.  Heaven has no darkness.
7.  Jesus states that he is the light.  Also the Bible states that darkness cannot exist in light.  Is it any wonder that the hypocritical pharisees hated Jesus.  Jesus threatened to expose all that they were.
8.  Light is measured in three forms waves, heat, and brightness.  Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
9.  Sometimes it is comfortable in the light and we want to sit in it and soak it in and other times we are looking for shade.  Sometimes it is comfortable to be in God’s presence, but sometimes it is hard.  We need to do what ever it takes to stay in his presence.
10.  The intensity of reflected light is determined by how close the source is.

This was a very cool conversation.  I hope you enjoyed some of these insights as much as I did.  Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light.
