Jesus: Word-Messenger-Redeemer-Spirit of Truth
Therefore, in the beginning the Word was, for he was the Word, even the messenger of salvation—The light and the Redeemer of the world; the Spirit of truth, who came into the world, because the world was made by him, and in him was the life of men and the light of men.
--Doctrine and Covenants 93:9
Jesus Christ is the Word, and has been since the beginning. He is the messenger of salvation, the One who brought lessons from God the Father to mankind on the earth so man could become knowledgeable enough to know right and wrong and have the agency to choose. Jesus is the light of the world, even the Redeemer of all created things. He is known as the Spirit of truth because he declares truth and nothing but the truth.
Jesus being the light and life of the world includes the light and life within every human being. Without Him we are as nothing. We exist because of Him and the Father.
