4/5/09 John 1

In John 1, scripture talks about the light from the God.  Mentioning that God was there from the beginning and there was life in God.  Then the life was the light of the men.  Also, scripture says that light shines through the darkness and darkness does not understand the light.  When scripture talks about the light of the men, scripture is talking about the son of God who gives the true light.  One of interesting I read about is that darkness does not understand the light.  I am assuming that the darkness is the satan.  When I hear about what satan does, it seems like satan tends to know everything that is going around us.  Also, satan knows everything about us and satan uses those knowledges to hinder us.  However, scripture says that even the satan that we think who has significant power, couldn't even understand the light (Jesus).  When it says does not understand, satan did not understand what Jesus was doing at all.  Meaning satan's power is not even comparable to our God and Jesus Christ because satan can't even see what Jesus was doing.  Therefore, when we decide to follow the light, we should have faith that the light we are following has far greater power than the darkness.  Also, when we are walking in the light, satan can't do anything because light shines through darkness which keeps us away from the satan.
