Threefer...Three "lights" I'm deLIGHTed!


2 Corinthians 4:6
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give us the Light of the knowledge of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the face of Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:17
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

Give all the problems and difficulties that are weighing you down to Jesus. Our troubles are actually "light and momentary"--from an eternal perspective. Our problems feel so heavy because we have given them too much power. Each time we focus on them and not on Jesus we give them more power.
As we give our problems to Jesus, our vision improves and we can see Him more clearly. His light illuminates the knowledge of the Majesty and Glory revealed in His face. This is the eternal glory that far outweighs all out troubles...and "lightened" all our darknesses...and burdens...
His Light...the illumination of the physical
His Light...the transformation power over the physical 
His Light...the revelation of who He is!  
We turn to the New Testament and find that John writes, “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). Then, later in the book, John goes on to say, “God is love” (ch.4:8, and 16). It is as God in the beginning said, “Let there be light!” – He was saying, “Let there be a revelation of My love!
