I can not count the number of times Jesus speaks of being the light of the world. It is my assumption it is used as a metaphor to describe truth and as a contrast to darkness. Light is one of the strangest things in the physical world. It has many properties we are just beginning to grapple with. It is a wave, a particle, and a decent part of a modern physics book full of other stuff. In the beginning God made light so we know He is not literally light because He existed before it, but if He made it then He also understands all of its properties.
What new insights have we been given in modern times that might allow our eyes to be opened to more of Jesus’ metaphor of light?
