The earth was without form and void

and darkness was over the face of the deep.

And the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

All things were made through Him

and without Him was not anything made that was made

In Him was life, and the life was the light of all mankind

The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.

The true light which gives light to the world

was coming into the world

He was in the world,

and the world was made through him,

yet the world did not know him.

And so He said,

‘I am the light of the world.

Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness,

but will have the light of life.’

But also

‘I am going away, and you will seek me,

and you will die in your sin.

Where I am going, you cannot come.’

But this was not the end.

For though he breathed his last breath

The next day as the sun rose

Simon saw the linen clothes

lying there,

And the face cloth that, which had been on Jesus

Folded up in a place by itself

And they saw Him and he said

Why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?

And as He rose the bridge was built

All that is light we was given through forgiveness and a relationship with the creator

And so as children of the light

When I feel I am surrounded by darkness

I pray and remember

The darkness has never overcome the light

So why would He who overcame death itself out of love

Fail me now?
