"Darkness does its best work when it drives us to the Light."

1. God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

2. Jesus Christ is the Light of the world.

3. Believers are said to become "children of light"

4. We are to reflect and shine his light.

5. Light represents hope in the future.

6. God gives light to disperse fear.
