‘The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.’

John 1 vs 4

I often wonder how accurate this particular verse is in today’s world. After-all we live in an age wherein evil acts of terrorism are committed across the world on a daily basis – children, mothers, parents – mercilessly slaughtered in the name of a so-called Jihad.

Thieves and murderers are lauded for their riches on a daily basis, implying the distinct irrelevance of how wealth is gained.

This is an age in which decadence has become the norm for those that can afford it, and an envious desire for the many that can’t. A world wherein people no longer marry for love but for status and financial security. An age in which we judge ourselves not according to who God created us to be, but by what society perceives or expects us to be.

So I find myself asking;

“Are we sure the darkness has not overcome the Light?”
