It's funny how the "devil" is actually based on the Greek myth of Prometheus, who actually was one of the Titans that was spared by Zeus as he was an ally against the rest of them, but gained the wrath of Zeus as Prometheus had a soft spot for the humans and tried to help them by teaching them, the final straw being him taking fire from Mount Olympus to the humans to keep them from freezing to death in the cold. His punishment was to be chained to a cliff, a crow eating his liver each day, only to regrow at night, over and over again. Sound familiar? All the serpent in the garden of eden wanted to do was to open the eyes of Adam and Eve to knowledge.

Jesus IS the Light in the darkness. The light shines in the darkness, means that Jesus Christ has come into the world, bringing the good news of God's salvation to every person on Earth. Without him, there would be no light in this world.

When Jesus spoke to the people, he said, "I am the Light of the world. Whosoever follows me, will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12

The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness is no match for his light, not even the darkness some may currently be experiencing.

Jesus is so much more than a "higher power". That term could mean anything to just about anyone. But Jesus is a real person that walked this Earth and people have not stopped talking about him nor forgotten about him, since. No one or no thing can overpower his power. Father God appointed him Savior of the world.

Religion never saves anyone. Religion didn't die on the cross to save us from our sins. The person of Jesus, did. And without him, we would all end up in hell so I'm very grateful to him that he saved my soul. Jesus didn't just die for special religious groups. John 3:16 says that he came to save the whole world, not just some.

Interesting speculation.
Truth requires authority.
