John 1:9
Comments
‘That was the true Light’, the genuine light, the authentic light. Of course, the only one who is not only light in himself but communicates light and understanding and knowledge. ‘That was the true Light.’Christ is the true light in the sense of the types and the shadows. For years, the Jews had had the ceremonial law with all its pictures, its graphics, its types and shadows. These were only representations of the great sacrifice that would come, the great work that would be done by Messiah. But now the Messiah has come himself; it is no longer types and shadows; it is the true light, the fulfilment of all the types and shadows. Now the real Messiah pictured in the ceremonies had arrived.
Application
Every man is illuminated by Christ, every woman, in the sense of having rationality, the power of reason, an instinct for God, an instinct for eternity, a conscience which operates. Everyone has all that special light, not given of course to the animals, from Christ their creator. And we pray that more and more will have saving light, spiritual light, eternal light, as well.
