For the past several years, I have spent some time studying the relationships among light, truth, spirit, and the glory of God. Certain scripture passages that mention light always seem to capture my attention---such as those found in D&C 93 and 88, or the familiar ones found in the Book of Mormon.
Yet even though I have made this a regular focus of study, I often get the feeling I’m missing something---the feeling that if I only knew how to dive a little deeper I would uncover some hidden truths or spiritual buried treasures.
Come to find out, I’m not alone in this. I recently came across a BYU Devotional given by Richard Draper, Professor of Ancient Scripture at Brigham Young University. Turns out at one time he found some of the passages in sections 88 and 93 of the D&C a little baffling too. So I guess I’m in good company :-)
The theme for Season 2 of the Edified Podcast is “Light where you are.” More specifically, looking at ways we have been invited to let our light shine in a manner that points the way to the Savior and lights both the world around us and the world within us.
Between now and our April 2021 General Conference, we'll be looking at the principles taught, the invitations extended, and the blessings promised during the October General Conference. Also, we'll look at the personal applications that will help us not only be a light, but also to hold up our light for others to see.
In today’s episode, I introduce the spiritual properties of light, explore how our spiritual eyes reflect heavenly light, and discuss ways we can light the world around us, or in other words “Light where we are.”
