Jesus' spiritual "LIGHT" is a metaphor!

Matthew 5:15 (NASB)
15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand,
and it gives light to all who are in the house.

Christ-followers should show their spirit-led good works (LIGHT) to a chaotic and unbelieving world.

Mark 4:21 (NASB)
21 And He was saying to them,
“A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it, or under a bed?
Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand?

SAME as #1...parallel passage!

Luke 8:16 (NASB)...Parable of the Lamp
16 “Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed;
but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light.

SAME as #1...parallel passage!

Luke 11:33(NASB)
33 “No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket,
but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.

SAME as #1...parallel passage!

------

Living in the light...?


God perfectly and LOVINGLY creates, intervenes and JUDGES,

God is PRE-EXISTENT, ETERNAL, INFINITE, and EVERLASTING.

God LIVES AND LOVES, and wants Man to heed his CALLING / DRAWING.

God is NOT dead, not doth He sleep!

God is pure SPIRIT.

Man's mortal Body / Soul combo dies.

Man's spirit is immortal, given by God at conception.

Believers receive with "spirit bodies" in heaven.

"All you need is love" .../s/...The Beatles

John 1...4-5, 9-13
4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it...
There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.+

John 12:46
I have come as Light into the world,
so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

1 John 1:5 [ God Is Light ]
This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and
in Him there is no darkness at all.

Matthew 5:45b
for He causes
His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and
sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Not much else needs to be said here, more food for thought for some.

I did call it first.

Time will prove me right.

I am not at all sure just what you are trying to say. Brighter than what? The sun is a natural body producing heat and light through nuclear fusion reactions.
