He is Light for all, Life for all, and Liberty for all.
Herbert Lockyer
Jesus, as Light of the World, is the One who makes clear the meaning and destiny of human existence.

The Enlightenment
God’s Word says, “In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind” — John 1:4
The Enlightenment —
the age of history,
just three centuries ago,
when we in the West
resolved boldly
to live largely
by human reason and science,
to prosper and be
politically free.
My Enlightenment —
how much more enlightened
I would be
if I now
resolved boldly
to live largely
by God’s Reason and Word,
to be soul-rich and
completely free.
Then I would be
a true scientist of life,
enlightened and enlivened
by the Light and the Life
that made the world.

The Life-Light
God’s Word says, “In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind” — John 1:4
The surest road to wisdom is not speculation, reasoning, or reading human books, but meditation upon the Word of God. . . . O for grace to study the Bible with Jesus as both our teacher and our lesson!
Charles Spurgeon
As words utter thoughts, so Christ utters God. Words reveal the heart and mind; so Christ expresses, manifests, and shows God.
