THROUGH THE DARKNESS

(John 1:1-14)

It’s a dark night and even though your car headlights are on and shining brightly, you notice how dark it is outside: it’s a dark night.

You have been driving through the night, a long way from your home, but you will soon be home.

Even after your long drive ends and you reach your home tired and needing a good rest, you know that the only way you will be able to see the familiar things you love, as they really are, will be the next morning in the light of day. Somehow things will be better in the morning.

You may be carrying the weight of the world on your mind tonight, but things will be better in the morning.

The whole Bible pictures us as being in the darkness, a long way from home. Christians call home ‘heaven.’
