God Calls Himself Light

In his book, More Than Meets The Eye, Dr. Richard A. Swenson observes: "Light consists of tiny packages of energy, called photons. If we could study one as it leaves the sun, then capture it years later as it travels across the universe, we would find it is the same size, strength, and power as when it began. Light is the only thing in all of creation with such characteristics. Isn't it interesting, then, that God calls himself light?" [1]

C. S. Lewis links light and glory. In The Great Divorce, he writes, "God's glory flows into everyone, and back from everyone—like light and mirrors." [2]

This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. We are all mirrors, but the light's the thing. What are we reflecting in the high calling of our daily work?

And, we, who with unveiled faces all reflect  the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

(2 Cor. 3:18)
