Commentary on John 1:4
The dual concepts of 'life' (Greek 'zoe', referring to spiritual life) and 'light' introduce John's major themes. Christ is the source of both physical and spiritual life, and illuminates humanity's path to God. This echoes Genesis 1 where God creates light before all else, suggesting Christ as the eternal Light present at creation.
