A man called Jesus: His human appearance wasn't such that He looked any different that the average man.
· Light of the world: A title given Jesus because He made clear (illuminated/lighted) God's will to mankind and completed God's Plan of Salvation so each of us has the hope of going to heaven for eternity if we fulfill the requirements.
