Never Has, Never Will

" And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it]. "

John 1:5

"...for the darkness has never overpowered it..." Never. He said never. 

" Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is Life."

John 8:12

"...I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me...will have the Light which is Life." Will have. Jesus said who follows Him "will have" the Light which is Life. He didn't say maybe; He said will have.

When there are so many evidences of evil raging loud it does a person good to remember verses with words like "never" and "will". There is a calming strength in knowing Truth and allowing Him to set free from the rumbling going on in the world around. 

Shalom, Shalom
