The blessings of light are innumerable. We need it in the form of streetlights, or a flashlight, so that we do not stumble in the dark. Christians avoid stumbling into sin by walking in the light of truth which Christ provides. The light of the sun warms the earth, to the benefit of people and the growth of crops, whereby we are fed. Wounds exposed to the light heal more quickly. There are many other benefits as well. Light discourages crimes which so often are perpetrated under the cover of darkness. So we walk in the light of Christ in order to overcome the forces of evil.
