It's so powerful, though, they are using lasers in weapons. They use lasers to cut diamonds, the hardest substance we have. Most wonderfully of all, they're using lasers in surgery to actually help people get well. So, when we say Jesus is the light of the world, we can see a lot more to that than the people who lived in Bible times could see. We know that not only can light warm and make the world brighter, we also know that light is powerful.
Light can heal.
Jesus is all those things. Jesus brings warmth, and He makes things brighter, but He also is powerful and He is the source of healing. So, I couldn't bring a laser beam with me this morning, but I hope you'll realize that a candlelight is but a symbol of all the light in the world and all the ways God uses light. It's also a symbol of Jesus who is the light of the world. Dear Jesus we thank you that you came as a light to the world.
