We blame lots of things for the sin of the world. The problem is that people love sin; they love darkness because it hides their sin. By the work of the Spirit, these persons can flee the darkness and go to the Light. By conversion, they can become lovers of the Light and the Truth. God loves the world (John 3:16) and all who sit in darkness. He is releasing the world from the cloud of darkness hanging over it. He gave His Son that they would come to the Light and have life. Father, thank You for transforming us from lovers of darkness to lovers of the Light. Amen!
“And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed.” John 3:19-20 (NRSV)
