If your house is well lit; on a dark night, walk over to your door to the outside, and open it.
Look closely and you will observe a profound truth.
When you opened the door to the outside, the light shined right out the doorway ... the darkness didn't prevent the light from shining out, nor did the darkness project back into your room.
Why?
Light trumps dark! Light always trumps dark.
Dark has no power. Light has power, light is power, light is energy.
Darkness is simply a paper tiger, by that I mean dark is simply the absence of light.
Light reveals truth while darkness covers truth. We, by our nature, prefer the dark. (John 3:19)
Light and darkness cannot co-exist at the same time, light dominates!
The standard of truth is comfortably hidden by darkness.
I'm called to be a light. (Matt.5:14) I'm called to shine in darkness. By my new nature I'm called to illuminate ... I do not fear darkness because it holds no power over me.
Conversely
Those in darkness are held bondage to their very darkness because they can't see truth. To them, light, like the truth it reveals, is painful and costly ... and they can say, "Walk in the dark as I am in the dark and we will have fellowship one with the other!"
The purpose of light is to conquer dark as ... We walk in The Light. (I John 1:5-7)
