19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.”[h]
So love the one you hold
And I will be your gold
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
It appears that Mumford & Sons have taken to the use of spiritual references in many of their lyrics as well.
The use of this video is equally powerful and has strong biblical symbolism.
Light is referred to throughout scripture as representing the upright, holiness, salvation, and even God himself.
The radiant glory of God, called Shekinah in the Greek, is portrayed in the bible as a light that is more radiant than the sun.
God....is light
The opposite of God....is darkness.
To be void of God is to be in the dark.
To sin against Him is to revel in the darkness.
Evil things creep out at night; sinfulness and shameful deeds of mankind.
The light of the world is Jesus Christ.
His light is to guide us out of the shadows and into His marvelous light; true joy, beauty, fulfillment, promise.
1 Peter 2:9
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
Love the light! When you have passion for the light of His love....God Will Put A Smile Upon Your Face.
