John 1:4 "In him was life; and the life was the light of men." What is this verse telling us? ------------------

This Word is the Self Existant life giver to His creatures. Without His breathing life continually into us physically, mentally, spiritually we can not live, see, understand, experience. In other words ...In Him we live and move and have our being. To quote Paul. ------------------

That sounds like a good answer, therefore, let us move onto verse 5. John 1:5 "And the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it." (YLT) John 1:5 "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." (KJV) What does it mean that the light shone in the darkness but the darkness didn't perceive/comprehend it? ------------------

When He came here, He wasn't what we were looking for, so, we didn't recognize Him for Who and What He is/was. The world was lost in sin(darkness) and when the light(Jesus) came to show the way out, we didn't recognize (comprehend) it.

The world saw the light & decided it did not like the light and would not obey the light neither repent over it's own darkness. This made coversion or being born again impossible. The world therefore could not have the light taught in their hearts and minds by the representative(Holy Spirit) of the light(Jesus). They refused the light(Jesus) and thus rejected the call of the Father(Father of Lights, Ancient of Days,). Without Him drawing them to Jesus they could not see anything of value in the Light. ------------------

John 1:6 "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John." Who is this John spoken about here? What does "sent from God" mean in relation to this John person? -----------

His parents were too old to concive him. God steped in. The timetable was just right-remember the 490yr prophecy. God steped in. Gabriel prophecied to his father & directed his naming. God steped in. The Holy Spirit filled him from conception and directed the plans for his whole life and prophetic mission. God steped in and stayed in. Jesus was almost ready to come on the scene. John steped in & God steped in through John. ------------------

It is interesting to know that before we were even born, God knew us. Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. What does this tell us about abortion? -----------

Why was John sent from God? John 1:7 "The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe." -----------

I have been slack here, therefore, I need to get back at it again. How or in what way was John the Baptist a witness "of the Light" in verse 7? -----------
