Light in this World

"Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil." - John 3:19

Let's take a look at the first six words, "Light has come into this world". That's where most people stop and ask themselves "are you sure?". How can there be light in such a cruel and chaotic world. People die unsaved, children are raped, prostitutes roam the streets, murderers plan their next target. Where is the light? Take a look at the next sentence, "..but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil". This is where darkness comes into play, there are now two sides. Light vs Dark. Classic Battle, no? Darth Vader vs Luke Skywalker. Coke vs Pepsi. The reason we don't see the light most of the time is because we are not making Christ our center, surrounding ourselves with Him. We are in the world's sinful darkness. That may sound "obvious" in a sort of a way but if so, why is it so hard to get through our heads? So many non-Christian's ask themselves everyday "If there is a God, why would he let all this happen?" This is mankind! We did this, not Him! God loves us and wants us to have free will. It means so much more to Him for us to freely love Him rather than feel forced to love Him. We had and have a choice whether or not to have the light in our lives. Without the light, you have no life. You are dead. Don't let the worldly darkness possess you. Heavenly light reigns over worldly darkness, anyday.
