Hello December 1, 2026
I'm so glad to welcome this wonderful time of year!
A time to celebrate the days up to the birth of our Savior.
Day one, John 1:1-5
The Eternal Word
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not [a]comprehend it.
When Mr D
and I finished reading these scriptures we were discussing verse 5 . . . 'and
the darkness did not comprehend it.'
So, I
found this commentary which explains it well:
John 1:5 conveys that Jesus is
the light that shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome
it. This verse emphasizes the contrast between light and darkness,
symbolizing good and evil, truth and confusion. It asserts that Jesus, as the light,
brings life and hope into a world filled with despair and sin. The idea is that
despite the presence of darkness, the light of Christ remains powerful and
unyielding, offering guidance and salvation to believers.
All is
well here at my little Bungalow by the Bay. Mr D and I are just living life day by day as the
Good Lord provides.
