3 Nephi 15:12 Ye are my disciples; and ye are a light unto this people, who are a remnant of the house of Joseph.
What I like about this little combination of verses is that, while Jesus Christ is the light of the whole world, we can still be lights to the people around us. While He guides and heals everyone, we can guide and heal those closest to us. It's not as grand or as glamorous, but it feels even more personal. I know that we can come to know Jesus Christ, but our friends already know us. And if, through our influence, they get any closer to Him, all the better. Sure, our lights aren't as bright as His, and they don't reach as far, but ours feel closer. And our lights, though lesser, can still light the path well enough to point others to Him. We don't have enough light to help everyone, like He does, but we have enough light to help our friends.
