Our Light, Jesus Christ

I’m a little behind on my Bible reading but this morning I read something that struck me. I’m currently in the Book of Isaiah and I just started to read Chapter 60 and as soon as I read the very first verse,

𝟭𝗔𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲, 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲, 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲,

𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

I instantly thought of Genesis 1:3-4

𝟯𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱, “𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁,” 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. 𝟰𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. 

Now, I am no Bible scholar. In fact this is my first time even reading and interpreting the Bible. I miss a lot of what is actually being said. And I could totally be overthinking this but in my mind I can’t help but believe these two separate scriptures from two totally separate times are saying the same thing. 

That the ‘light’ is not actually representing ‘light’ literally but figuratively by prophesying the birth of our savior  Jesus Christ and that Jesus is our ‘light’. 

Thoughts on this? Am I totally out in left field on this one? Again, I’m new to the Bible reading world and just trying to seek what gives me the most comfort, our Redeemer, Jesus Christ 💗
