Scripture: John 3:1-17
Throughout the Gospel of John, we find an emphasis on the contrast between light and dark. In the opening prologue, which we read during the season of Christmas, John writes, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness doesn’t extinguish the light” (1:5) and a few verses later, “The light was in the world, and the world came into being through the light, but the world didn’t recognize the light.” (1:10). These images of light and darkness serve as metaphors for kindom reality. This Sunday, we are privileged to an "insiders" view of a great religious leader who struggled to believe. Like you and me, he found himself "In the Dark...Again". But his whole view was turned upside down by a little time in the Light! Yours can too!
