In this episode of the Closer to Jesus podcast, we explore the profound meaning of light in the Bible and how it represents both God's presence and our calling as believers. Light isn’t just what we see—it’s the very essence of God’s truth, power, and love.

Join me as we discuss:

• The difference between natural light and God’s divine illumination.
• What it means to walk as children of light (1 Thessalonians 5:5).
• How John the Baptist’s story teaches us about faith, doubt, and divine revelation.
• Jesus’ miracles as proof that He is the Light of the world.

🌟 Key Scriptures:

• Genesis 1:3 – "Let there be light."
• John 1:4-5 – "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men."
• Matthew 5:14 – "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden."

✨ This is your season of illumination! God is ready to reveal Himself in a new way, bringing clarity, strength, and miracles to your life. Are you ready to shine?
