Shalom,

I LOVE the Gospel of John! We begin there in today's Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan. I especially love verses 1-5:

1 In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. 2 He was present originally with God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. 4 In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. 5 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].

HALLELUJAH! The Phillips translation says this in verse 5:

This is the message that we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness—none at all! PHILLIPS. 

AMEN! HE IS ALL LIGHT! Here is Brooke Ligertwood with "Like Incense":

Shalom in Him!
