Jesus is the Light, which destroys the darkness
God created the heaven and earth and everything in the sky, but there was darkness in the world. ‘In the beginning, God created heaven and earth. Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind sweeping over the waters. God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. God divided light from darkness. God called light ‘day’ and darkness he called ‘night’. Evening came and morning came: the first day.’ (Gen. 1: 1-5) The God has created the light first and the darkness second. God brought His only begotten Son; the true Light into this world is His Word, Jesus our Lord! John 1:14 (NJB): The Word became flesh, he lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory that he has from the Father as only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. Jesus is the Word of God who came through Mother Mary into this world. There was darkness everywhere and Jesus came into this world to destroy the work of darkness. ‘This was the purpose of the appearing of the Son of God, to undo the work of devil.’ (1Jon. 3: 8.) The work of Evil is called darkness and the work of Jesus called the light. ‘The Word was the real light that gives light to everyone; he was coming into the world.’ ‘What was come into-being in him was life, life that was the light of men; and light shines in the darkness, could not overpower it’ (Jon1: 4-5, 9). The Word was real light and always shines in the darkness and evil cannot overpower Jesus.
