In John 1:5, light and darkness are metaphors for the characteristics of people who follow God‘s light and those who don’t. The ultimate embodiment of light is Jesus. In Jewish writings, wisdom acts like light and darkness cannot prevail against it. Through God‘s powerful speech, which brings wisdom, God is illuminating this fallen creation and bringing about redemption and salvation.
Verses: Gen. 1:2-3; John 1:5; 8:12
