Jhn 1:6-9 (6) There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. (7) The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. (8) He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. (9) That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
The through Him in verse 7 is this John?
Like John our message should only and always be that God is the light. A true light, the only undeceiving light. A true light, the only real light contrasted to any shady one. A true light, the only underived light not reflected or borrowed. A true light, the only supereminent light where all others pale before it. With this in mind, man left to himself not only live but also choose to be in darkness. For God to use John to reveal the light implies that we can’t see it without God’s intercession. How absurd it is to say that someone seeks the Lord for He is not hiding. In the Garden of Aden it was Adam that hid as God was seeking him. I am thankful that God does come looking for His people, that His true light shines in the darkness. And through Him we willfully receive His son (John 3:27). His son that was sent to redeem His people and glorify His name (Gal 4:4-5).
