bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"The faithful are called light, both because they have the true light in them which enlightens them, and also because they give light to others, insomuch that their honest conversation reproves the life of wicked men."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bullet"We must have not only a sight and a knowledge that sin is sin, and in some measure shameful, but see it as a breach of God's holy law. After the example of prophets and apostles, we should call on those asleep and dead in sin, to awake and arise, that Christ may give them light."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
