Or is light — physical and spiritual at once. God’s first creative word is “Let there be light (or),” and light becomes a key image of his presence and goodness throughout Scripture.

The Psalms call him “my light and my salvation”; Isaiah speaks of a great light dawning on those in darkness. The New Testament identifies that light with Jesus, “the light of the world,” and his followers as lights in their turn.
