How could the heavenly light have shone, unless He, who was the Light of the world came into it, and lived His life among men? We read, "In Him was life; and the life was the light of men." (John 1:44In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (John 1:4)).
What true light has man today, but that which comes from above? We read of that Eternal Life, which with the Father from all eternity, being manifested in due time to our Lord's disciples in His own blessed Person.
And what did they do with that Light? We read that men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. That the light shone in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:55And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:5)). They crucified the Lord of glory. Such is man! Such is your heart and mine, but for the grace of God.
