Moreover, walk as children of the Light in the Lord. Jesus is the origin of our light. -Ephesians 5:8

Q. What does it mean to understand?
We must seek to understand the Light. We must walk in the Light. We must BE the light (an extension of Jesus) in a world full of gross darkness. For the greater the darkness... the more relevant and prevailing the light must become and is.
