He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. 


John 1:8-9


Here again is the "witness to the was coming." Only a being that is past, present, and future and be a was coming. Jesus is such a being. We have such a God.

Again, we see a distinction between Jesus and the rest of us. He is the light. No one else is the light. Any light you see in man was put there by the true light, Jesus.

So there are two things here that set Jesus apart -

(1) he was, is, and will be - all at the same time.
(2) he is light, we are not.
