How do we know the light shines in the darkness?

The assurance that light shines in the darkness stems from the character of God who is sovereign and unchanging. As expressed in the sermon, 'the light never stops shining, and the darkness never comprehends it.' Despite the pervasive nature of sin and despair in the world, through God’s grace, the light of the gospel is capable of breaking through the thickest darkness. This is exemplified in God’s redemptive work throughout biblical history, culminating in the coming of Jesus Christ, who is described as the Light of the World. His ministry embodies the continual initiative of God to reveal His truth and save His people, ensuring that not even the deepest darkness can prevent the arrival of His truth and grace.
