The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:5)
This is another favourite verse of mine.
Tonight I’m thinking about Jesus being arrested and taken off to be hideously abused and then hung on a cross to die. I’m thinking about what it means and why He did it. Luke 22 is a good place to read.
I’m also thinking of the light he gives, Of the resurrection and celebration that is coming and that he gives us when we come to him. There is no situation he cannot shine his light on. There is always hope. Through Him, through Jesus.
He is real, He is alive, He is why we are here, He is who we need, He is Jesus.
