“The crucifixion of Christ on Good Friday means that dark is not dark if God is there. Dark is dark in the absence of God. But in the presence of God, darkness becomes light, just as a tragic loss in everyday life becomes bearable if someone is there to love you through it.”

- Paul Zahl (Grace in Practice, p.42)

“…even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you.” Psalm 139:12
