John 1: 5 Commentary

1. As in Gen 1:3-5, the light ALWAYS
a. Permeates the darkness
2. And so it ALSO was with Jesus
a. Whose teaching pierced the traditions
b. And legalisms of the religious leaders
c. Whose words of truth and grace
d. Revealed the heart of a loving Father
e. Whose speech was with authority
f. Calling mankind to repentance
g. And belief in Him
3. But for the most part
a. His words fell on deaf ears
4. The crowds tuned Him out
a. Desiring instead the free food and medical
5. And the religious leaders had Him crucified
a. As He did NOT fulfill THEIR Messianic expectations
b. Instead threatening their powerbase and agenda

its the way that when somebody comes wake us up in the morning n switch on the lights then we get irritated with that light n dnt like it…because we sleep for hours without light…without light we cannot see n we’ll stumble…
similarly jesus is the light for this world witchevr heart receives it all darkness dissappears…though we dnt like the light yet when once received it shines evn in the darkness… if we dnt receive this light then we stumble because of our sins….so jesus is the kight witch gives life…

Jesus Christ is the light that shines in a dark world. And, the powers of darkness cannot overcome Jesus Christ, the light-bearer.
