'In him was life; and the life was the light of men.'
Life itself was in him, our Lord Jesus Christ. Our God is the Living God.
When I read the Bible cover to cover a number of years ago, as I became ever more interested in the Christian faith, the words 'Living God' struck me.
The idols lead to death. Our God leads to life. Indeed, our God is life. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life.
He doesn't lead us to life. He is Life.
And we must eat and drink this life.
Through him were all things created, all that is living - the trees, the plants, the animals, ourselves. Into us he breathes life.
Our Lord is the light of men, the light in the sea of darkness that is death.
Death is darkness, nothingness, the antithesis of Life.
Death is the absence of God.
