What it means to be the light of the world - bible talk

[jennifer_bloom]

I came up with 36 possible allegorical meanings for light and I’ve mentioned them in some previous talks like how it is a symbol for purity or sweetness or connection

Recently I’ve also concluded it could be a symbol for acceptance and receptivity and appreciation and forgiveness

To be the light of the world is to be the one who accepts outcasts, who receives the broken, who comforts the lonely, who protects the weak, who takes care of the needy and helpless and embraces his brothers and sisters at church as fellow children of God

Light warms the body and earth and mind

And the children of God warm people’s souls - they are a source of joy and inclusion and comfort - like a mother to a child

So the light is a symbol for the forgiveness and grace of God

This is a pretty interesting discussion and you might even be able to write a book on just light and how it relates to the word

Yes, if I were a Christian I would probably agree with that interpretation, because it's a good one. :)
