As the Bread of Life, Jesus satisfies our need for redemption and forgiveness by being the giver of eternal life.

As the Light of the World, Jesus reveals truth and provides clarity.  God did not design us to stumble in the dark but to live in the dark as lights to the world.

As the Door, Jesus provides exclusive access and endless protection for His people. John 10:1-6

Parable – A simple story to illustrate a profound truth.
