Jesus: The Light of the World, John 8 BSF Lesson 12
Nobody ever made the claims Jesus did. But He backed up everything He said by the powerful works and truth He gave from the Father. Jesus said He is the Light f the World. Everyone who follows Him will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life. John 8:12. Light is elusive in our world and we are very familiar with what darkness does in our lives. Read what Jesus claims He will do if we only will believe everything God promised through His Messiah.
In Him was life and that life was the light of men. John 1:4-5
