glad to study God's Word with you every day on this Bible teaching program. On today's edition,

A Pathway to Victory, all throughout

this season, notice how much the image of light is used in this celebration. I mean,

drive around our city, you see lights everywhere, on homes, at shopping malls. You see them all

around the church as well. Light is a very important part of Christmas because light is associated with Jesus Christ.

You see that same metaphor of light for Jesus Christ throughout the Bible.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffers.

In John chapter 8, Jesus said, I am the light of the world. And Jesus is still shining his light into

the dark corners of our world. Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffers considers

why Jesus would compare himself to light and uncovers four crucial objectives Jesus came to accomplish on planet Earth.

But first, let's take a moment to hear some important ministry updates.

Thanks, David, and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

Just before we get started with my message, I'll remind you that there's still time to

respond to the matching challenge that's active right now.
