Jesus Christ, Light of the World

North Forest

God's wisdom is known through the church. (see Eph 3:10)




The Light of the World


Jesus Christ is the light of the world. He reveals himself in the world through the Christian church which is the pillar and foundation of the truth. This church is his body and his fullness. He imparts the radiance of his glory to the world through this church -- this historic church which he founded some 2,000 years ago; this one holy, catholic (universal), and apostolic church.

Within the teachings of this catholic church (and the scriptures she produced) are the truths leading to eternal salvation. The light of Truth, who is Jesus Christ, shines on the whole world through the doctrine, practice, and moral teaching of the church of Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church.toc

This web site celebrates Jesus Christ, the shining brightness of the church, through word and song.
