It talks about the light. Specifically verses 4,5,7,8, and 9. The heaviest part is verse 5: And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. Further defining the greek on "comprenhend" would be they could not "lay hold of it". It's as if a person in darkness is blind. Even if you put a candle in front of his face, he would not see it. He would be oblivious to it. A much more interesting point, is that though he could not see it, he could feel the heat of the flame. To me, that "heat" is love. Love, can permeate the darkness. While Christians get all caught up in all kinds of things they probably shouldn't be focusing on, they should be doing what Christ himself said to them. Be lights to the world. Love God with all your body, mind, heart and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself. The hard part is most likely loving your neighbor as yourself. First sign of progress is recognizing that you aren't doing that. That's me. I have been reading the Gospel of John, Chapter 1. It talks about the light. Specifically verses 4,5,7,8, and 9.
