We opened this series learning of the Light of Man.
We learned that Christ as the creator was also the very witness of light to us. We tried to focus on Christ who he was and how that should effect each of us. I trust that was a blessing to you.
Today we are going to focus on two main thoughts The first is what we should be doing in light of knowing Christ. The second is a deeper look into who Christ is to man.
