John 8:12
Light of the World

Connected to the lighting ceremony of the Festival of Booths Jesus makes the astounding claim that he is 'the light of the world'. He also declares that those who follow him will experience 'the light of life'. These claims make no sense if Jesus is simply a good, moral teacher whom we model our lives after. Rather, they invite us to drill down into the substance of Jesus' teaching to discover his divinity and mission.
