Many scoff at the Bible and say there is no enough evidence, or not enough evidence, to prove that God exists, much less that he created the whole world. Think how foolish it is to deny the existence of the divine Creator, when he has come down himself to live among us!
What does it mean to be a witness? It means to speak about what you know and have seen, but it actually means a bit more than that, because being a witness is more than just bearing witness. A witness is who you are.
Christ is light in that he is the One who brings reality into focus. It is his nature to reveal the truth about our humanity and God’s divinity. He reveals our true nature and condition as fallen, sinful creatures, and God’s nature as holy and morally perfect. He shows where we stand in relationship to God.
We can all tell the difference between one that is alive and one that is dead, but if you had to explain what causes one plant to thrive in the sunlight and the other to dry up, you’d be hard-pressed to say anything except, “It’s dead.”
The Word is the creator of all the things which have come to be; things that never came to be are by definition eternal and do not need to be made.
