Jesus was the light of the world. He came forth from God with a message of hope and salvation to the fallen sons of Adam. If men would but receive him as their personal Saviour, he promised to restore to them the image of God, and to redeem all that had been lost through sin. He presented to men the truth, without one thread of interwoven error. When he taught, his words came with authority; for he spoke with positive knowledge of the truth.

Jesus var verdens lys. Han kom fra Gud med et håbets og frelsens budskab til Adams faldne sønner. Hvis mennesker ville tage imod ham som deres personlige Frelser, lovede han at genoprette dem i Guds billede, og genløse alle som var gået tabt på grund af synd. Han bragte menneskerne sandheden, uden én indvævet tråd af vildfarelse. Medens Han lærte, kom hans ord med autoritet; for han talte med tydelig kendskab til sandheden.
