How Bright is the Light

In Psalm 139, the psalmist tries to explain the brilliancy of God in the twelfth verse by saying, "The darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You" (NIV).

In John 8:12, we read that when Jesus was on this earth and speaking to the people, He said, "I am the light of the world, he who follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life". Just how is this possible?

James explains it, when he refers to God as the Father Of Lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow (James 1:17). Literally or figuratively, there is no brighter light than our God.
