STUDY: The gospel according to St. John opens with these verses of deeper revelation about Jesus Christ. First, Jesus is beyond existence for He was before the world began. Secondly, He is part of the Trinity. Thirdly, He is the first cause of all creation. Fourthly, He alone is the Life Source of Light, without Him is total darkness. Fifthly, He incarnated into the world and by the light of His life,He drives out darkness. Lastly, the devil could not comprehend or apprehend His light –Satan could not stop the light!
God’s plan to illuminate the world through Jesus has its continuity in the ministry of the church. If the church is wiped out of existence, then that plan of would God end! This is impossible! Darkness cannot apprehend the light of Christ. No satanic agenda can end the existence of the church -we should embrace this truth. What should trouble us as Christians is whether actually we are driving darkness away in our society by the light of our lives. Let this engage our whole being rather than being worried about satanic agenda against the church.
