The Gospel of Light

 Here, then, is the message which we heard from Him,

and now proclaim to you:  

GOD IS LIGHT

and no shadow of darkness can exist in Him.

1 John 1;5

It is fascinating to me the similarity between the opening chapters of the Gospel of John and the first letter of John to the churches:

In Him appeared life, and that life was the light of mankind.

The light still shines in the darkness  

and the darkness has never put it out.

A man called John was sent as a witness to the light, so that

all that heard his testimony might believe in the light.

This man was not himself the light:

he was sent simply to witness to that light.

that was the true light which shines upon every man...

John 1:4-8

I am the Light of the World.

The one who follows Me will never walk in darkness,

but will live his life in the light.

John 8:12

Throughout the books that John authored, there runs two themes, over and over again:  God is love and God is light.  May His light and love flood your life today.
