Light is an essential part of our experience and a necessity for life. We need light to see; it is a source of clarity. In the Scriptures, Our Lord identifies Himself with light, “The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world (John 1:9).” 

This image of Christ can be deepened through pondering the nature of light.  The nature of light has been a mystery to physicists for centuries. Your students will reflect on how light is mysterious and inexplicable in its behavior as both a wave and a particle. 

In this lesson, students will explore the nature of light and reflect on what it reveals about our loving Creator.
