“It was of him that I said, "Behind me comes one who has passed ahead of me because he existed before me.” John 1:30
(Grace and Peace)
John’s witness of Jesus could be summed up in the above words, “He existed before me.” These words were a clear reference to the Divinity of Christ. In spite of such a powerful witness, very few people believed that Jesus was God. As the Bible said, they preferrred darkness to the light because their deeds were evil. They had wordly things to pay attention to, and the Good News was so not important for them.
