John 1:6-8 (ESV)
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
John personified the role of Israel to bear witness in the world of the coming of the Lord. They have been bearing the light to prepare us to receive the truth of God.
The first Adam revealed the darkness of man. The second Adam is the light of the world. The word of God bears witness of the coming of His light that draws man from the darkness until man becomes one with God in the body of Christ.
