Overpowering Light

“Life came into being because of him, for his life is light for all humanity.

And this Living Expression is the Light that bursts through gloom—the Light that darkness could not diminish.” (John 1:4-5 TPT)

We have a room with no windows. It can be pitch dark inside. But if we open the door, light streams in from the adjacent room which has windows. The reverse is not true. The darkness of the windowless room does not diminish the light of the room with windows.  

Light provides illumination. It helps us see, understand, and know. Darkness does the opposite. It causes us to stumble and fall. It leads to misunderstanding and ignorance. 

Christ provides light to all humanity. This Living Expression is the Light that bursts through gloom—the Light that darkness could not diminish.  Even the darkest soul is no match for this overpowering Light. 

“Then Jesus said, ‘I am light to the world and those who embrace me will experience life-giving light, and they will never walk in darkness.’” (John 8:12 TPT)
