If an Old Testament prophet (let's say Elijah) showed up in town and preached a one week revival in the high school stadium – would that get your attention? Or, what if Jesus Himself appeared at the fair grounds and fed the entire town from a single brown-paper bag (a large Coke and three corn dogs)? Then, what if Christ preached from this pulpit the very next Sunday morning, and called you to repent and believe. Would you follow Him?
How did the world respond when the "Light of Men" dwelt among us? John 1:6-13 will help us think carefully about that question. What we'll sees is that the Light comes into His world, heralded by the prophet John the Baptist, only to be rejected by most (including His own nation!), yet… received by the elect. John surveys the dawning of Light in a darkened world, in three movements:
First - The prophet preaches (vv.6-8). Next - The Light arrives (vv.9-10). Then (and still today!) - The world responds …or not (vv.10-13).
