John, to whom the Revelation was given, described the New Jerusalem as needing no light because the Lord God will shine so brightly that there will be no night, and no need for a candle or the light of the sun.

Jesus declared in His ministry that He was the light of the world, and that His followers were likewise lights that shine in darkness.  In fact, we are known as “Children of the Light.”

In contrast, His enemies love darkness, the absence of light.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, grace us to work daily to build Your Kingdom while we still have light.

DAILY READING:  Phil. 2
