The Instigator spoke the Word, darkness understood and light appeared. With sin, another darkness came into the world… an evil darkness that leads to death.
So God spoke again. The Word entered the darkness, but this time, the darkness did not understand. He was despised and rejected by man. Though full of life, He was put to death and sealed in a tomb. But the Instigator of light will not be defeated by darkness or death. The risen Word now invites us to receive life and walk in the light as He is in the light. “Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.”
Those that walk with Him continually instigate light in a dark world. “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.” John 1:1-5
