WHERE CAN YOU SEE THE LIGHT OF JESUS? 

1. In the beauty and complexity of creation. 

2. In the words and worship of believers.
   Matthew 5:14–16 You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. 

3. In the Word of God.

Rev 22:5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
