The Light of Life

What is light?

"Light is a phenomenon that has particle and wave characteristics. Its carrier particles are called photons, which are not really particles, but massless discrete units of energy (www.thebigview.com)."

So light, pretty much, consists of photons, which are the units of energy and I guess everything that exists in our space-time comes from energy. We also know that atoms are held together into objects and planets and stars, etc. by photons....

In John 8:12, Jesus said:

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

In the Epistle of Paul to the Colossians 1:16-17, referring to Jesus, Paul said:

"For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together."

A lot of this scientific stuff I mentioned was not really known back in the first century. I find it interesting how some of these verses from the Scriptures perhaps make more sense to someone reading it today than way back then.
