Radical Question #5: What is the Speed of Darkness?
Answer: It has None.
In
three arenas, this reality is clear to see.
1. Physical: In the beginning, God
spoke light into the darkness of the abyss, and the abyss retreated. Light has
atomic weight, and darkness has none. Thus, darkness is immediately eviscerated
by the presence of light.
2. Ethical: When people live in the
light of God’s presence, and in loving relationships with one another, they are
free. When people live in the darkness of avoiding God, and one another, they
are slaves, always looking over their shoulders in fear as they flee the light.
3. Spiritual: Jesus is the Light of the
world, and Satan is the prince of darkness; and believers in Jesus are also
called to be the light of the world and displace the pretense of Satan. As we
live in the light, Satan’s presence is eviscerated.
