What do we do with people we don't understand?
What does it look like to live a life that cannot be overcome?
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
- John 1v5
This is one of the verses in the Bible that have a footnote. Perched on the end of the word 'overcome' is a little ‘a’ that asks the reader to let their eyes drop to the bottom of the page where another translation of the Greek word katelben is given. There we find that what reads ‘overcome,’ could also read ‘understood.’
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not understood it."
