1. What does it mean that Jesus is "the Light"? What are some
practical implications of this?
Jesus is the one who enlightens the men of the world. Only by Him can we learn
of the Father, and thus cry out and be saved. This means that we must go to Him
to discover whether our ideas about God are correct, and we must trust Him to
guide us on our path toward knowing God better.
4. How does John apply these Greek and Hebrew ideas to Jesus?
Jesus is the union of the human and the divine, because He is the only person ever
to have both natures fully. He is also the Word of God, the fullness of God's
revelation to man. As God, the path to wisdom begins with the fear and trust of
Christ.
