John 1:8

8 John was not himself the Light; he was there to show the way to the Light.

John 1:8 In-Context

6 There once was a man, his name John, sent by God

7 to point out the way to the Life-Light. He came to show everyone where to look, who to believe in.

8 John was not himself the Light; he was there to show the way to the Light.

9 The Life-Light was the real thing: Every person entering Life he brings into Light.

10 He was in the world, the world was there through him, and yet the world didn't even notice.
