I've been enjoying our reading of the New Testament. I taught a lesson on Sunday about Christ as the light and life of the world, as taken from the first lesson of the year. It was interesting to see all the ways that Christ is connected to the light of the world. The night of light in 3 Nephi when he was born followed by the thick darkness when he died. The brother of Jared having him touch the stones and this passage in D&C 88:
he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was b...
And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your a;
13The a which is in all things, which giveth b to all things, which is the c by which all things are governed Light is the source of all nourishment and light in our world. This symbol sheds more understanding on how he was able to perform all the healings discussed in Mark- because he is the source of life.

You made a fantastic comment in your lesson about how Christ refers to himself as both the light and the living water and how light and water are the fundamental building blocks of all life as we know it. That was really inspiring to me and made me look at Christ's role in a new light.
I'd never thought of that before. How interesting.
