Jesus is the Light of the World

Jesus is the Light of the World

The scriptures teach us that Jesus Christ is the Light and the Life of the World.  HE created the world and so in many ways he is the King of Creation.  He was assigned to create our world under the direction of His Heavenly Father and OUR Heavenly Father.  Of course, Heavenly Father is also the father of Jesus' Earthly body.  The scriptures say that He, Jesus, is the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh.  All of us are begotten children of God the Father because HE is the Father of our Spirits.  Our Heavenly Father and Jesus, and all of us were together before w(Heavenly Father's children), came to Earth as mortals.  Jesus volunteered to be our Savior.   He also defended the Father's plan for us to have our free agency to choose right from wrong and for a Savior to pay the eternal price for our sins so we can return to live with Him and with Heavenly Father.  

This lamp is probably a more modern lamp.  .   . it is kind of a candle holder with glass to protect the candle from the wind.  I like the picture anyway.  If not for the atonement of Jesus Christ I would be lost.   In fact, we all would be lost.   Jesus tells his people in the new world,to hold up the light and that He, Jesus, is the light that they should hold up.   That account is in the  Book of Mormon.  In the Holy Bible Jesus tells the people to not light a candle and put it under a basket.
