We can understand why some children are afraid of the dark. They are fearful because they can’t see what is there. But why would some adults be afraid of the light? It’s because they don’t want to see what’s there! “But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light…” Ephesians 5:13.
Fear of Exposure
“And
this is the judgment, that the light is come into the
world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light;
for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil
hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest
his deeds should be exposed.” John 3:19-20
Light Versus Darkness
Why all the furor over God, the Bible, and Morality? Why
are Christians being criticized for their belief? Why
the demand to “turn off the light?” Because darkness
conceals, light reveals. Jesus is the light of the
world. And His
followers are the light of the world.Christians are to let their light shine to reveal their good works, so that others may glorify their Father who is in heaven (Matthew 5:16); and to expose the evil deeds of darkness.
Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them; for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. Ephesians 5:11-12
May our light shine ever so bright!
