Jesus Christ is the light of the world (John 8:12).
He is God.
Just as the sun is the light and life of the natural world, so Jesus is the light of the spiritual world.
Just as the sun’s light is everywhere on earth, so Jesus’ presence and glory is everywhere on earth.
God has given the sun to every person to keep them alive.
God has given His Son to the world, that man can receive eternal life (John 3:16).

Apart from Jesus, someone can do nothing (John 15:5).
Without Jesus, someone has nothing.
Without Jesus, a person is spiritually dead (John 6).
If they die without Jesus Christ, they go to eternal death.

Heaven is God’s home, full of the glorious splendor of His majesty and infinitely more.
