1 Nephi 1:9

9  And it came to pass that he saw One descending out of the midst of heaven, and he beheld that his ^aluster was above that of the sun at noon-day.

     “his luster” (referring to the Savior)

            -it is curious that many have described their experience with the Savior in this same manner (i.e. same type of description).  More interesting is that the description identifies the accompanying light as belonging to, not separate or distinct from (i.e. behind or from without), the personage.  Jesus Christ’s countenance is so full of truth and intelligence that he physically shines.  His body is not only filled with light (D&C 88:67), but He is the light of the world, the source from which all else is illuminated.
