A Light Has Come

Both Isaiah and John describe Jesus as the light, who comes into a dark world. Darkness has three important usages. It is descriptive of (1) the fallen world (2) our human nature that cannot and will not see the truth of God, life, and human nature, and (3) the willful refusal to turn to the light, to do what God tells us to do.  Jesus, the light, is the answer to all three usages of darkness.
