Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 In the first five verses of John is the whole essence of Christianity: each verse is full of the profoundest philosophy. The Perfect never becomes imperfect. It is in the darkness, but is not affected by the darkness. God's mercy goes to all, but is not affected by their wickedness. The sun is not affected by any disease of our eyes which may make us see it distorted. In the twenty-ninth verse, " taketh away the sin of the world " means that Christ would show us the way to become perfect. God became Christ to show man his true nature, that we too are God. We are human coverings over the Divine; but as the divine Man, Christ and we are one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
