 Verse 13, we read, "...who delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son." While He was here on earth, He says, "...I am the light of the world." John in his gospel said the light was there, but the darkness comprehended it not. And then the sad words that Christ gave to Nicodemus in John chapter 3, He says, "...men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil."
