Christ Jesus showed us the glory of the Father (John 1:14) and thereby demonstrated that he was the light of the world (John 8:12). After his victory on the cross, Christ has come through his Spirit to live in the hearts of his people (John 14:23). Through Christians, Jesus’ light shines in this world (Matthew 5:14; Philippians 2:15). Lights (including Christians!) do not belong on the floor but need a lampstand to give elevation and so broadcast the light. The stand on which God places believers is the church (Revelation 1:20).
9 Moi Jean, votre frère, qui ai part avec vous à la tribulation, au royaume et à la persévérance en Jésus, j'étais dans l'île appelée Patmos, à cause de la parole de Dieu et du témoignage de Jésus.
