John 11:7-10
7 Then after this He said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.” 8 The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?” 9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10 But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
Jesus faced being stoned to death for saying He was God, yet as divine went into danger in the daylight to dispel the darkness. He told the disciples, and us, that we must keep our eyes on the light of the world and not the darkness around us. If we keep our eyes on Jesus, we can see where we are going to avoid stumbling. Without Him we stumble about aimlessly in the dark. We now have God's word available for the last 500 years after being suppressed to be able to see the light. Post tenebras lux.
