John 1: 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it. (Overcome could also be translated as understood)
John skips the whole nativity story and goes instead to the essence of Christ. He tells us that Christ was with God from the beginning. Nothing was created without him. His life is mankind's light, but darkness doesn't get it. It can't overcome it.
I love the "not understood" slant. Why else would anyone reject God? They just don't get it. A great light is available, but they fear and mistrust it. The need for control is their guide.
Prayer: Help me to overcome the need I have to be in control of my life. Help me surrender to following the light You send me. I know that my mighty God has the best path for me.
Amen
