The darkness did not comprehend the light []


light - an expression of holiness
darkness - 'chasak' חשך means 'hold back, keep in check, a covering

Darkness, by definition, expresses attributes of love. It covers a multitude of sins. It holds back the wrath of God produced by his holiness. Grace does not understand Holiness. Love is together and Holiness is separate. We only understand that God is both through the perfect expression of his nature through the cross.
