Summary

In this passage, Jesus puts forth that he is the "light of the world"--the central point of truth--calling people to follow him. By making this claim Jesus is either truly someone before whom all people should bow, or he is a profoundly false figure. We should all investigate this claim and respond to it, not on the basis of our feelings or preconceptions but on the basis of evidence and objectivity.

We should all investigate this claim and respond to it, not on the basis of our feelings or preconceptions but on the basis of evidence and objectivity.\r\n
