"Men loved the darkness rather than the light, because their work was evil," John 3:19.
That's the other part of the story of the famous football stadium verse. God loved the world hugely. But the world really, really does not reciprocate. We have two kingdoms. A kingdom ruled by what sustains and advances life. The sky kingdom. And then, a kingdom ruled by rot. The world kingdom. The sky kingdom in which rule Christ and his light. And then, the world kingdom in which rule devil and decay. Jesus died because men loved evil work more than light. And people who now love working God's will more than they love worldly life find persecution by those that don't. No surprise. But Jesus says, Blessed. Sky kingdom rules!
We see light glowing from Christ within a brother or sister today. So we press on doing the right stuff. And, together, we give thanks to God for light.
