Leviticus 22-24

I find it interesting that God required a night light in the tabernacle. There is no question that God did not need the light. So it only makes sense to me that the light is there for God's people. It is an indicator that the light of God's truth glows in the holy place of his people whenever the darkness seeks to invade it. Where there is light, no matter how dim, the darkness flees. A dying match can dispell the entire darkness of a great room. I wonder if Jesus was hoping that his listeners would make the connection to the lamp in the tabernacle when he told them; you are the light of the world?
