The Second Commandments forbids the use of images in the worship of God, but the Bible is full of analogies and symbolism based on images. Many analogies use figures of speech including metaphors and similes. This sermon emphasizes the critically important responsibility of God’s people to be “the light of the world,” and explains how, according to the Bible, the sun, moon and stars symbolize great spiritual lights.
