When Jesus' ministry began, the light of God entered the realm of man. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
