This theme of light overcoming darkness is central throughout the Bible. In which New Testament book do we find the statement 'The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it'?

Correct Answer

B) John

The statement "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it" is found in the Gospel of John, specifically John 1:5. This verse beautifully encapsulates the theme of Jesus as the light of the world, a powerful force that darkness cannot diminish. It reflects the message of Matthew 5:14 and reinforces the idea that through Christ, we too are called to shine as lights in a dark world.
