got light?

In 3 Nephi 7-12, we read about the signs of the crucifixion of our Savior Jesus Christ. What stood out most to me was the symbolism of lightness and darkness used. We read: 

"And there could be no light, because of the darkness, neither candles, neither torches; neither could there be fire kindled...And there was not any light seen, neither fire, nor glimmer, neither the sun, nor the moon, nor the stars, for so great were the mists of darkness which were upon the face of the land. And it came to pass that it did last for the space of three days...and there was great mourning and howling and weeping among all the people continually...because of the darkness and the great destruction which had come upon them." (3 Nephi 8:21-23)

A beloved sign of the Savior's entrance into the world came in the form of light: 

"for behold, there shall be great lights in heaven, insomuch that in the night before he cometh there shall be no darkness, insomuch that it shall appear unto man as if it was day." (Helaman 14:3)

When the Savior of this world was crucified, no earthly light could fill the void of his absence. When he entered the world, no earthly power could stop the light from filling the earth. In simple words: NO JESUS=NO LIGHT, but to KNOW JESUS=KNOW LIGHT. 

I know that when I make choices that invite the Savior into my life, my world is brighter and I feel hope for the future. Alternatively when I do not make room for the Savior, my world seems dark and dreary, which is not a life that I want for myself.
