John 1:9 – The light shines in the darkness, and darkness has not overcome it. We spent some time on this in our signpost series, so you can definitely go back and check it out.
The Greek for the word “overcome” could also be translated “understand.”
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not understood it.
There is darkness in the world and as Pastor and author Tim Keller puts it, the world’s hope comes from outside of it.
The same way the sun shines into the darkness every day, we need the Son (Jesus) to shine into our world and our lives every day.
Left on its own, the world just can’t find solutions to it’s problems. The world is a dark place and we can’t find our way unless Jesus is our light (Tim Keller).
Jesus came to bring light to the world’s darkness
And he came to bring light to your darkness.
We have Jesus. We have light. We have hope.
