John 3:16-2116 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
The world is made of darkness and suppressive methods. God is the Light! Leave the dark behind and dwell in Him where we will be free and find rest! Let the Light into your life! All of us have dirty and unscrupulous deeds in our lives. God has seen them and still yearns to love you and awaits your return home. We do things that are wrong and try to hide them. Who or what are we hiding them from? God sees all things, knows all things. Yet, despite all that, He sacrificed His Son on a tree to break the curse of sin and death, that we may have the example of Christ to live by and ultimately reunite with Author of Life in Heaven. Christ told the adulteress, to paraphrase: those that sought to condemn you have left. I also do not condemn you.....go and sin no more. He forgave her and told her to change her lifestyle, sin no more. Love.....that is where God's grace and mercy, and and so forgiveness derive from. If we step into the Light, then these gifts become ours! Amen.
