Darkness Will Come As Soon As Light is Gone John 12:35

My pastor Steve Dekok lately has been asking me many silly questions. The other day he asked me this silly question, “Just wondering again. If the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second, what is the speed of Dark?” And I thought it was a really silly question so I posted the question on facebook and one of my nieces responded with, “I guess you could say that darkness "arrives" when light departs. So the speed that light "leaves" the observed space would be the speed of darkness; meaning the speed of darkness would be the speed of light, about 3.00 × 108 m/s.” I thought well that’s a great answer so I wrote back to Steve with that answer which he responded with, “Doug that was one of my silly questions that has great significance to spiritual growth. Darkness will come as soon as light is no longer gave.” You know what a great reminder that is. Darkness will come as soon as light is no longer given. It reminded me that there is a time coming in which darkness will prevail. A time when the light will be gone and darkness will rule. “So Jesus said to them, “^For a little while longer ^the Light is among you. ^Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who ^walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. 36“While you have the Light, ^believe in the Light, so that you may become ^sons of Light.” John 12:35. A day is coming when the light will be gone and darkness will prevail. Because of that we need to live with a sense of urgency. We need to walk in the light now and we need to encourage many others to do the same. We need to encourage people to get right with Christ now. We need to allow the Light to shine in our lives so that people will clearly see Jesus. We need to encourage other believers to remain faithful, to endure till the end. Darkness has not yet come, but the sun could very well be setting, so while there is still light live in that light today and be more like Christ at the end of today than you were at the start.
