John 3:19-21 – ‘This is the verdict: Light has come into the world but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.  Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.  But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been through God.”

John 12:46 – “I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.”

The Living Bible study notes: Many people don’t want their lives exposed to God’s light because they are afraid of what it will reveal.  They don’t want to be changed.  Don’t be surprised when these same people are threatened by your desire to obey God and do what is right, because they are afraid that the light in you may expose some of the darkness in their lives.  Don’t be discouraged, however, keep praying that they will come to see how much better it is to live in light than in darkness.
