4. What does this metaphor reveal about God's world and your understanding of it?
This metaphor reveals that God does care about us, even if we are in the darkest part of the world. In this verse it clearly says that Jesus is the light of the world. Then it uses a example to show the extent of Jesus' power. It claims that even a city on a hill cant be hidden from Jesus' light for us. Therefore, I think that this verse has helped me shift my understanding of what God's workd is really like and how He cares about us. God was willing to send His son so that we could be forgiven. This vserse clearly helps us see God's care for us. Light is something that is powerful. When we feel down something colorful, something bright, can cheer us up. Also, light can go far and wide, shining on anything. This verse shows that Jesus is like that too, he can help us, cheer us up, and shine far and wide, on anything.
