Do not say: “I cannot bear this from such a man, nor should I suffer things of this kind, for he has done me a great wrong. He has accused me of many things of which I never thought. However, from someone else I will gladly suffer as much as I think I should.” Such a thought is foolish, for it does not consider the virtue of patience or the One who will reward it, but rather weighs the person and the offense committed. The man who will suffer only as much as seems good to him, who will accept suffering only from those from whom he is pleased to accept it, is not truly patient.
Thomas a Kempis

Jesus is the “Light of Lights”.

We don’t hear this said, usually.  In fact, it was said by mistake by a local pastor during church – and I considered it and realized it was true.

The Bible uses various comparisons for Jesus and God, to other “gods” and “prophets”.  King of kings, Lord of lords.  Jesus says he is the “Light of the world”.

It makes perfect sense… Jesus is the “Light of Lights”.  Of all the bright lights, he shines the brightest.  There is no “light of the world” as bright and pure as Him.
