He Came, the Son of God, to Be the Light of the World

Doctrine and Covenants 88: 6-13

He that ^aascended up on high, 

as also he ^bdescended below all things, 

in that he ^ccomprehended all things, 

that he might be in all and through all things, 

the ^dlight of truth;

 Which truth shineth. 

This is the ^alight of Christ. 

As also he is in the sun, 

and the light of the sun, 

and the power thereof by which it was ^bmade.

As also he is in the moon, 

and is the light of the moon, 

and the power thereof by which it was made;

As also the light of the stars, 

and the power thereof by which they were made;

 And the earth also, 

and the power thereof, 

even the earth upon which you ^astand.

And the light which shineth, 

which giveth you light, 

is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, 

which is the same light that quickeneth your ^aunderstandings;

Which ^alight proceedeth forth from the presence of God 

to ^bfill the immensity of space—

The ^alight which is in all things, 

which giveth ^blife to all things, 

which is the ^claw by which all things are governed, 

even the ^dpower of God who ^esitteth upon his throne, 

who is in the bosom of eternity, 

who is in the midst of all things. 

"...... I am the light of the world: 

he that followeth me 

shall not walk in darkness, 

but shall have the light of life."

John 8:12
