The Light and Life of the World: A Study of Jesus, Part One

There is no denying that the world is filled with darkness—natural disasters, political divides, and injustice. It’s all around us, but how do you deal with this darkness? Do you let it consume your thoughts, or do you ignore it, hoping it won’t affect you? What do you turn to for hope in this dark world?
