John 1:4,5 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.
The lost world tries to quench the Light, to prevent it from shining:
- The Light that has shone brightly from eternity past
- The Light that gleamed in Bethlehem's manger
- The Light that shone for thirty-three years while Jesus walked this earth
- The Light that flickered briefly at Calvary but blazed forth at the entrance to an empty tomb
That Light will continue to light the pathway to eternity for all who follow Him.
Acts 26:18 To open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
