Welcome to  Understanding the Bible  

                                                        - its message and its challenge

                                                            Jesus Christ said 'I am the light of the world, whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life' : 'I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep' : 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies' : ' I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me'  : 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty' : 'I am the vine: you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit.'
