Mt. 3:3---- For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet E-sa'-ias, saying, THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS,PREPARE YETHE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT. In those days, it was not uncommon for a work force to go before a King and straighten out roads and level high hills so as to make an unobstructed path for him to go over.
This let the people that someone of note was to come by..... this was the duty of john, to make the path ready and alert the people that someone of note was to come by.  ------------------

Thank you, Gerry. Verse 7 basically says the same thing as verse 6: John 1:8 "He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. John the Baptist was sent to fulfill and did fulfilled the call that God gave him. -----------

John saw the "Light" from childhood, even though he had never laid eyes upon His Person. He saw Him by following His Spirit from infancy. It was revealed unto Him by The same Spirit as to Who the "Light" was when he(John) physically saw Him for the first time. ------------------

Agreed, he said 'behold the LAMB OF GOD which taketh away the sins of the world'.Jn.1:29 His mother said that the babe in her womb lept for joy at the sound of Mary's voice.
She also said that the one she (Mary) carried was blessed indeed. ------------------

John 1:9 "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." What does "which lighteth every man that cometh into the world" really mean? -----------

A time to be born, a time to live and grow, while He who ordained our times to exist, breaths understanding into us, by His chosen agencies. A time when a young kid 5-6yrs, walking down a side-walk with no one else around askes these questions. 1.Why do I exist?
2.Why am I me & not someone else?
3.Why am I now insted of the past or the future?
4.What is the reason I exist, what was God's purpose for me? The answers quickly come,
1. I exist because for eternity God has dreamed of creating me-so He could enjoy loving me.
2. God knew that as He planned for me, and built in His mind all the things He wanted in His dreams about me; that I would be the happiest of all being me. So that's what He did, He made Me - Me.
3. As God dreamed of me, He knew what I would be like and what I would like. So He made me when He did.
4. He created me to love Him and walk with Him for eternity among the stars. As we would be together and never have to leave each other. Now who would have explained that to that kid, except ---- John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. I rest my case.
{The only kid who was there.} ------------------

My answer to the question I asked on John 1:9 is found in some other related Bible references that I will look up when I get home and share them with you here. In the meantime, you may want to find them before I do and share them here yourselves. ------------------

Here is one Bible text that comes to mind: Romans 12:3 "For by the grace given to me I bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him. Here is an even better one: John 12:32 [Jesus said] "and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." The true Light, which is Jesus Christ, draws everyone that comes into the world to Himself. -----------

Here are a couple of sad verses: John 1:10 "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. It was bad enough that the world knew Him not, however, it was even worse still that His own received Him not. Why did His own chosen people not receive Him? -----------
