The light of Christ is a concept in Christianity deriving from several passages in the New Testament.

One of the main reference points for 'the light of Christ,' is from the prologue of John John 1:9 "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." (KJV Bible). Another is the Apostle Paul's citation "Christ will shine on you" (Ephesians 5:14).

Notable writers on the concept of the light of Christ include Ephrem the Syrian in the fourth century, Severus of Antioch in the sixth century, and the Quaker William Penn.
