“The Light of the World”

John 1:1-9, {1} In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. {2} He was with God in the beginning. {3} Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. {4} In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. {5} The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. {6} There was a man sent from God whose name was John. {7} He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. {8} He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. {9} The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.
