John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Boil the sin problem down to its basic nuts and bolts and here is what you have; men loved darkness rather than light.
The light referred to is the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the righteousness that is available to men through Him. It is a walk with the Lord in fellowship and peace. When we get to heaven (those of us who are saved) we will find that there is no need for artificial lights such as the sun and the moon. Jesus Christ will be the light of that place. (Revelation 21:23)
What a grand day that will be when there is no night; when there is no sin. When there is no sickness, death, evil or pain.
Yet men love the darkness rather than the light.
They would rather stumble in the darkness of self-will.
They would rather endure the pain of sin and agony of death than to walk in the pure light of the Lord.
We who desire to walk in the light should never be ashamed that others run from it. We who are anxious to dwell in the light of the Lord should never step into the darkness, even if the light offends some we would love to win to Christ.
