Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to John 1:3

My new song "Known" is really meaningful to my faith journey. My desire is that one day we will all be willing to walk from hopelessness to hope, from hurt to healing, from the struggle to surrender—that we will look around the room, beneath the cross, seeing each other and hearing Jesus tell us that we're not alone. Thank you for joining me on this journey. -Tauren Wells

The Bible has a lot to say about light, starting on the very first page and going all the way through to the last page. Followers of Jesus Christ are called to "live in the light" - and that means something very different than "get some sun" or "catch some rays." After all, God didn't just make light. He IS light.

It is of the greatest importance for every follower of Christ to know who and what Jesus is. Why? Because Jesus said so! In Matthew 16, He asks His disciples who He is. Walk with us through a few simple devotions and learn about the nature of Christ as you grow in faith, knowing who He is. Be blessed!
