Perhaps he does do this when he says in Matthew 5.14. "Ye are the light of the world."

And again in Matthew 5.16 " Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

Jesus here not so much compares Christians with the light, as says plainly, "Ye are the light - "

And this commandment compares with another Scripture where God likens the light in Christians to the original light that he created _

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (2Corinthians 4.6)
