The Light still shining in the Darkness

“Ever since ‘the lights went out in Eden’ with Adam’s fall this world and our race have been living in darkness both morally and spiritually….How striking, therefore, that John should give us the words that most aptly sum up the significance of the story of redemption that is embedded in the history of our world and incarnated in the Person of Jesus of Nazareth. In his summation of the gospel in his Prologue John introduces the Logos (identified as Christ by its end) as ‘the life’ that was ‘the light of men.’” - Mark Johnson
