Christ is Full of Light
H. W. Beecher. John 1:5 And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Going into a village at night, with the lights gleaming on each side of the street, in some houses they will be in the basement and nowhere else, and in others in the attic and nowhere else, and in others in some middle chamber; but in no house will every window gleam from top to bottom. So is it with men's faculties. Most of them are in darkness. One shines here, and another there; but there is no man whose soul is luminous throughout. But Christ presented a perfect character. Every room in His soul was filled with light. He is light. (H. W. Beecher.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. WEB: The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
