light

John 1:1-5 (NLT)

1In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn't make. 4Life itself was in him, and this life gives light to everyone. 5The light shines through the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.

Gerald Schroeder likes to speak of life coming from light beams. Using Einstein’s theory of special relativity and Louis de Broglie’s wave mechanics, Schroeder points out that matter is condensed energy, hence, light beams.

Now read John 1:1-5 again. The “life gives light.” What does light give? Life?

Ponder on this for awhile.
