John 1:5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
The Amplified version gives some additional insight: 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.]
The darkness has never overpowered or put out the Light although the Light does shine into the darkness, and the darkness does not receive the Light. The picture of what happens when light encounters darkness is so much a part of our daily life, that we probably don’t consider it very often. A room is dark, and then a switch is flipped and light floods the room chasing out the darkness. Where does the darkness go? Away from the light. Darkness and light cannot co-exist. It is a physical principle as well as a spiritual one.
In the Spiritual realm, much like the physical, when Light enters a person’s life by the power of the Holy Spirit, darkness can no longer dwell in that life.
The Light will always over power the darkness. Hallelujah!
