Jesus said, I am the Light of the world; he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John viii. 52.

As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world. John ix.

Jesus said, Yet a little while is the Light with you. Walk while ye have the Light, lest darkness overtake you. . . . While ye have the Light, believe in the Light that ye may he sons of Light. . . . I have come a Light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me should not abide in darkness. John xii. 35, 36, 46.

Light hath come into the world, but men have loved darkness rather than light. John iii. 19.

John says of the Lord,

This is the true Light which lighteneth every man. John i. 9.

The people that sit in darkness have seen a great light, and to them that were sitting in the shadow of death, light is sprung up. Matt. iv. 16.

I will give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the gentiles. Isa. xlii. 6.

I have established thee for a light of the gentiles, that thou mayest be My salvation unto the end of the earth. Isa. xlix. 6.

The nations of them that are saved shall walk in His light. Rev. xxi. 24.

Send out Thy Light and Thy Truth; let them lead me. Ps. xliii. 3.

In these and other passages, the Lord is called the Light from the Divine Truth which is from Him, and the truth itself is called light. As light in the heavens is from the Lord as a Sun, so when He was transfigured before Peter, James and John,

His face appeared as the Sun, and His garments as the light shining and white as snow, so as no fuller on earth can whiten. Mark xx. 3; Matt. xvii. 2.

The Lord's garments had this appearance because they represented the Divine Truth which is from Him in the heavens. "Garments", in the Word, signify truths,# consequently it is said in David,

Jehovah, Thou coverest Thyself with light as with a garment. Ps. civ. 2. # "Garments" in the Word signify truths, because they invest good (n. 1073, 2576, 5248, 5319, 5954, 9216, 9952, 10536); and the garments of the Lord, when He was transfigured, signified Divine Truth proceeding from His Divine Love (n. 9212, 9216).
