"The Apostle John had a different kind of light in mind when he referred to Jesus as "the true light which gives light to every man coming into the world" (John 1:9).

"Jesus came into the world to tell people the truth," says Shelby, 10. "He was the light that took away those dark beliefs."

Dark beliefs? Yes, lies about God will keep you from knowing the truth that will set you free. The Bible presents a picture where most people live in bondage to lies and deception. They saunter through life totally unaware of the angelic battles being fought in spiritual realms over their very souls.

"Jesus gives light to the world because he is the light," says Shoshanna, 6. "He is the way, the truth and the light."

Jesus is light personified. Just as the sun gives light freely to everyone in the world, Jesus gives spiritual light to anyone who looks to him. The Apostle Matthew calls Jesus a great light that shines upon a people sitting in darkness (Matthew 4:16)."
