This episode links together Psalm 119:105 with Revelation 21:23 to point out that the Word of God, both in print (the Bible) and living (Christ) provide light for our journey in life.
This video is based on my very first YouTube released in December 2018
This episode looks at the Lord Jesus’ declaration “I am the Light of The World” in John 8:12. It examines how this declaration, made by Christ at the Feast of Booths fulfills the type of the pillar of fire by night and pillar of cloud by day as found in the book of Exodus.
Two verses from Psalm 119 point to a supernatural, spiritual light from the Bible. Verse 130 is examined in detail using a technique from the 17th century British minister Thomas Manton.
We will learn to take in Scripture (by reading or listening), meditate/reflect on it and offer these up in prayer for others and ourselves.

Where can we see the light of Christ’s glory?
The Apostle Paul compares the first light spoken by God (“Let there be light”) with the light spoken into believers in Christ. Believers are a microcosm of the universe. It started in darkness; So did we; For a believer in Christ, Christ’s light of glory is spoken into us. The episode explores the themes of Christ, light and glory.

This is the first episode of the rebooted podcast. What once was Finding Hidden Treasure is now Illuminated Lamb. Taking its name from the symbolic description of the Lamb (Christ) who illumines the New Heaven and the New Earth as found in Revelation 21:23, this podcast will explore the themes of Christ and light as found throughout the Bible.
In addition, the mission of the original podcast will continue. We will examine and discover past treasures of the Christian faith and seek how to recover them for use in our time.
The rebooted podcast is now in both audio and video format. It is on the YouTube channel “Illuminated Lamb”.
Posting the audio podcasts continues. Search for “Illuminated Lamb” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio and Amazon.
