We are all sitting in darkness until the light of the world shines upon us. Paul says of the Jews: "To this day, a veil covers their face when the word of God is read."
Greek icons portray Christ as holding a closed Bible, indicating that it remains closed until He opens it to us. Only in Christ is the veil removed from our hearts and does the light penetrate the darkness therein. We are all blind and without understanding until the Holy Spirit pours out in us the light of truth.
What a precious gift---to walk in the light and to be taught by the Spirit. The words of God at the beginning drove back the darkness of chaos: Let there be light! And light was. We are all re-created by the word of light, and darkness shall never again rule over us, for He has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.
