The Church's Reflected Glory
Commentators emphasize that the 'light' attracting the world is not generated by the church itself. Rather, it is the glory of God shining upon His people. John Calvin powerfully illustrates this by comparing the church to the moon, which only shines by reflecting the light of the sun (Christ). The church's attractiveness comes directly from God's presence and the truth of the Gospel.
