John 1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] He was with God in the beginning.
[3] Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. [4] In him was life, and that life was the light of men. [5] The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

It’s a big thought to ponder from afar, that before anything and everything there He was; Christ our Savior, Christ our Lord. Not exactly Jesus… yet, but the anointed saving wondrous power that would be Jesus once Word became flesh. He was there before it all began.
Wow.
Not only that, He was part of design and development. Through Him all things were made. All things. Not just the big fancy things but even the littlest of things; blades of grass, worms, fish, geese and such. In fact, nothing was made without Him. Not. One. Thing.
In Him, the Christ, was Life! Not just biological life but spiritual life, which is the Light to all men. So began the great battle. The great battle is between Light and Darkness, Life and non-life.
Darkness does not understand the Light. The Darkness cannot abide with the Light because the Light fills it up and drives it away. There is no peaceful coexistence between Light and Darkness. The Life-Light blazed its way into the Darkness and the Darkness couldn't put it out.
The Life-Light of Christ blazes into the Darkness of our lives. Darkness squeals and writhes in opposition but it is no match for the Life-Light. The Darkness in us does not comprehend. It cannot be rehabilitated. Darkness is not reformed, it is banished; driven out and replaced with Life-Light. This is what the coming of Christ is all about.
Is the Life-Light of Christ in you? Yes, darkness rebels. It objects and complains of the Life-Light of Christ. But oh the Glory of this Life as it shines in you!

Dear God, shine in me! Shine in me with the Life-Light of Christ. Shine through me Word of the cosmos. Drive out the darkness! In the Name of Jesus.
