You Are The Light Of The World Series

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jun 24, 2014

Isn't Jesus "the" light of the world? Why does Jesus call us the same?

Reflecting The Light Of Love

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 30, 2022

The darkness in this world spreads, but the light of Christ shines. And it illumines us and radiates through us to the world.

I want to draw your attention again to the beginning of this passage, where it say, “When he had gone out…” (John 13:31). Who is John talking about here? Who is it that has just “gone out”?
