“In him was life, and that
life was the light of all mankind.”
John 1:4
“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in
darkness, but will have the light
of life.” John 8:12
In
my last devotional I asked:
Why
do both John the baptist and Jesus see a relationship between LIFE and LIGHT?
“All life originates and develops under
the influence of …light…” according to
Goethe. The connection between life and
light has been observed for centuries, but in this last century, the
experiments of John Ott made real breakthroughs. He discovered that healthy plant and animal
development only occurs under full-spectrum light – what we also know as
natural light – that which comes from the sun.
So true light leads to life.
I have been asking the question: How
does the life in Jesus become light for mankind? Maybe I was just thinking of “light” in too
narrow of terms. Light is not just what
enlightens and leads mankind, it is actually what gives all life and health to
mankind.
Voilรก!
Jesus
is the LIGHT of the
world.
The true light. The full-spectrum light. The only light that is life-giving.

interesting quotes:
“All the energy we take
into our bodies is derived from the sun,” – Nobel Laureate Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
“…light is the primal
nourishment for life.” - Jacob Liberman
“The body is a
biological light receptor, the eyes are transparent biological windows designed
to receive and emit light, and all physiological functions are light dependent.
… Light guides the eyes, physical movement and physiological function, hence
light and life are inseparable, …”– Jacob Liberman
“My studies have
indicated that light is a nutrient, similar to all the other nutrients we take
in through food, and that we need the full spectrum range of natural daylight.”
– John Ott
"If human skin is
not exposed to solar radiation (direct or scattered) for long periods of time,
disturbances will occur in the physiological equilibrium of the human system.
The result will be functional disorders of the nervous system and a vitamin-D
deficiency, a weakening of the body's defenses, and an aggravation of chronic
diseases." - from a 1967 paper presented
by three Russian scientists to the International Committee on Illumination
“…when we
experimentally place plants, animals, or humans in a darkened environment and
notice that their life force gradually diminishes, bringing life to a
halt. Without light there is no will to
live, we are robbed of the spark that propels our spirit…” – Jacob Liberman
