"The artwork depicts a tender and intimate view of the birth of the Savior and draws our attention to a heavenly, emanating light that is stronger than the lamp portrayed or the light of man. The title and work were inspired by the scriptures: 'Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am the life and the light of the world'” (D&C 11:28).
