Having established the unique and divine nature of the Logos, Jesus Christ, the inspired apostle further reveals the centrality of the Logos in his relationship to the creation. It is not enough to say that He was merely present at creation and is eternal (as important as those truths are). The revelation of the Divine Logos shows that: 1) the source of life is in Him. This is so much more than saying that He is "alive." Life is "in" Him. For you and I, though we live and life is in us, it comes from elsewhere. And the text tells us that the source is the Divine Logos. 2) As life is in Him, so is light. This should not be understood as a physical light, but rather a metaphorical light. When Jesus Christ came into the world in his incarnation, He brought light into a dark world. Not by carrying it with Him, rather He Himself is light. One would think that those who were dwelling is such darkness would rejoice that the light had come. But as we read and know by experience, this dark world rejected that light. And so, as an introduction to the gospel story, the Apostle John lays out the case for the need of a Savior such as the Logos. The world needs the light, but it is the Lord who will need to open the eyes of those in the darkness. – Pastor Schlegel
