The Good News of the Eternal Light

Codes are used all around us; we make use of them on our phones, with every acronym we employ, and even in passing conversations when trying to keep things private. John's symbolism is much like a code, while it is not breakable in through the use of math or logic. Rather, John's symbolism provides insight into his Gospel, into the nature of who Jesus is and what he has come to do. Today, John allows us a glimpse into the nature of the symbolism that he will use throughout his Gospel, so that we might read and believe that Jesus truly is the Christ.
