That is Yeshua's statement to us as well, when he told us in the Gospels that coming to him is to walk in the light. Living in the light rather than dwell in darkness. This is also a future look into living in the Kingdom, the light, and living in Hell, the darkness.
He also said that for his namesake, we would be hated by the world, so we all need to think about that when bad things do happen to us. Relate that to scripture to learn why things happen and you will find interesting answers.
