Light Overcomes Darkness

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it (John 1:5, NRS)

I spent some time with individuals harmed by someone they trusted. Some people become so consumed with their own life that they do not give a thought to what they are doing to others. Conversely, there are individuals who intentionally want others to experience pain. Whatever the reason, the pain is created out of darkness.

John writes a promise that humanity can hold onto: Light overpowers darkness. Light shines into the darkness. The darkness does not hide the light. Christ, the Light of the world, brings us into the Light with sustaining power that will overcome.

While simple, it is a promise of hope for all of humanity: Light overcomes darkness.

Refuse to be in darkness.
Walk in the Light.
Stay in the Light.
Learning with you that Light overcomes darkness,
Shalom,
Kerrie
