Why does the verse about the light say 'cometh into the world' in future tense?
The future tense 'cometh' shows the light was not limited to those living at Christ's time but extends to every man coming into the world even today. All have somehow received that light. It is not restricted to one generation.
Les teaches that the future tense verb 'cometh' in the light verse is significant. It means the light was not just for those living at Christ's time; it was speaking of those coming on the scene even today. They have received somehow or other the light. So the verse has ongoing application to every generation, showing that all who come into the world receive that light.
