Prisms are interesting little instruments. When a beam of white light is shined on a prism, the light is split into a band of colors called a spectrum. Science tells us that the beam of white light contains all the wavelengths of visible light. When that white light passes through the prism, the different wavelengths are split, showing the various colors. We see no sign of those colors until the light passes through the prism. Jesus Christ in this passage from John is called the true light. We might say that his life is like the prism that shows us the great array of God's love.
