"What was this light that God introduced into the world or the kosmos? If the Spirit of God will help us we will put this in words that will clearly help us to understand the great truth that God would teach us. Let us then take heed to the words of our faithful Lord when He spoke, saying, "I am the light of the kosmos," and "I am come a light into the kosmos, that whosoever believeth into me should not abide in darkness." Jesus claimed that He Himself was the light of the world, the kosmos, and if His claim was true, when did He become the light of the kosmos? Speaking of our Lord Jesus, who from the beginning was the Word, or the Logos, John by inspiration wrote, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness is not able to put it out. There was a man sent from God whose name was John (the Baptist). The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through Him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was THE TRUE LIGHT, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. HE WAS IN THE KOSMOS, AND THE KOSMOS WAS MADE BY HIM, AND THE KOSMOS KNEW HIM NOT" (Jn. 1:1-10).
