Don’t Be In The Dark About This

“And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].” There are different perspectives on how this verse can be understood. We will go with the darkness is the evil in those world, and the light being good. More specifically, the devil represents darkness and Jesus represents the light. Darkness is anything that robs our eyes of the understanding of light, which is good. While in a very dark room, where you can’t see your hands in front of your face, if you lit a tiny match, it would dispel the darkness. Even a small amount of God’s light in us can get rid of the darkness in our life. Jesus is the light that lights every man and woman (1John 1:9). As we allow our light to shine bright, the darkness also being in those who haven’t accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, cannot understand it without our testimony of the gospel. Jesus overcame this world at calvary, because He has defeated the darkness in hell which certifies our reinstatement of the original authority God gave us over the earth. If you don’t understand this and don’t believe it, you’re still operating under the fallen state of the (temporary) rule of Satan. Understanding the light and understanding the darkness is a direct result of mankind’s disobedience of God’s command to Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Today we can understand but not have to be in bondage to the evil, the darkness.
