John 1:5- 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
John 1:1-5 tells us much about our Lord Jesus. He was with God in the beginning. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G that has been made was made with Jesus involved. Many mistakes doctrinally are made because they don’t realize that. Then we get to our verse.
Jesus is the Light. What does that mean? How does a comic signify when someone gets an idea? A light bulb is drawn in a bubble above his head.
If you are in a pitch black room, what do you see? Nothing, you see nothing.
That is what life is like without Jesus. Those who don’t have Him see nothing. Those who have a little itty bit of the light, see a little itty bit.
Those who have a lot of the light have turned their lives over to Jesus.
He is the Light. God is Wisdom. You can have all the worldly intelligence in the world; literally a genius and you can still be in darkness with no understanding of what’s most important.
So how do we find the light? By climbing out of our own selfish cave and towards the Truth and Creator. The devil has been around a lot longer than all of us and he still doesn’t understand it.
You know all those people that say you just have to have blind faith and believe? In this day and age that is incorrect. You can search, seek and study daily. You don’t have to have blind faith and just believe. You can draw nearer to the Light. However, time has shown that to do that, you have to leave your dark selfish cave.
