I Am The Light Of The World Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 4, 2009

What does it mean when Jesus says He is the Light of the World? He spoke to a culture thoroughly verse in the Old Covenant, and so to understand the significance of His words, we will need to explore what the people heard when He spoke.
