AC 7083 - Heat and Light

AC 7083

The heat and light in the natural world
arise from the sun of the world;
but spiritual heat and light, or love and faith,
arise from the sun of heaven.
The sun of heaven is the Lord;
the heat which comes from Him as a sun is love,
and the light which comes from Him as a sun is faith.
That the Lord is light is evident from these words in John:

Jesus said, I am the light of the world,
he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
(John 8:12);

and that the Lord is a sun is evident in Matthew:

When Jesus was transfigured,
His face shone as the sun,
and His garments became white as the light.
(Matthew 17:2)
