It seems we often miss it. We can get so drawn into the world, so engrossed in thinking that everything is messed up and nothing will ever be right. Yet, John reminds us, or perhaps points out to some of us for the first time, that the darkness has not overcome the light. Satan has not overcome Jesus. And truly, he never will. Try as he might, reap havoc on this and that, do this and do that, he can’t ultimately have the victory. Goodness triumphs over evil, and always will. Darkness is absence of light. God overcomes in people’s situations now, and he will ultimately overcome Satan at the end of our current time period. God is to win, and there’s nothing Satan or any of his fallen angels can really, at the end of the day, do about that. Sure, they can try to mess up circumstances for God and individuals now, but their day of judgment is coming. One day they won’t be able to do that anymore. The darkness can’t ultimately succeed.
