Everyone has or will experience hurt in their lifetime. The types and degrees of hurt seem too numerous to identify, We use words that range degree of hurt such as "boo boo" to anguish, and we describe our experience with hurt in terms of pain and darkness. In John's gospel, he likes the contrast between darkness and light. The New Testament presents us with Jesus as Saviour and Healer. We don't have to live in darkness and anguish in life, we can choose light and healing.
