Jesus was the light of His people—the light of the world—before He came to earth in the form of humanity. The first gleam of light that pierced the gloom in which sin had wrapped the world, came from Christ. And from Him has come every ray of heaven’s brightness that has fallen upon the inhabitants of the earth. In the plan of redemption, Christ is the Alpha and the Omega—the First and the Last. {FLB 47.4}

Jesus var lyset for Sit folk - verdens lys - før Han kom til jorden i form af menneske. Det første lysglimt der gennemborede det mørke synden havde hyldet verden ind i, kom fra Kristus. Og fra Ham kom alle stråler fra Himlens klarhed, som har faldt over jordens beboere. I forløsningsplanen er Kristus Alfa og Omega - den Første og den Sidste.
