The light of the world came, a human being sent by the Father. Just like us but a light to all. To be unsure there is this light of the world means living without it. The need was there for this human to be the sinless sacrifice for the sins of human beings to turn back the wrath of God from those who believe, to allow them to remove sins from their lives knowing there is provision made in this sacrifice. For this cause he was crucified on a cross. The Father raised him from the dead after a few days. The teachings of this light are what he lived by to live a faultless life in order to please the Father and to be faultless as the sacrifice for our sin. The light we need to live as he lived, once we believe, is found in his teachings, many of which have passed into the vernacular such that we learn them and should learn to heed, respect, live by them. Here are examples:
- "Turn the other cheek"
- "Go the extra mile"
