Of Light and Truth


The gospel reading from John 3:16-21 tells us how God loves us so much that he gave his only begotten Son. He is the light who has come and yet men still choose darkness.

When we are faced with choices between good and evil, sometimes it’s really mind-boggling why we still choose the evil. Do we choose the evil and the dark because we are used to it and that we are not capable of risking beyond it and seeing the good, the light and the beautiful?

The gospel continues, “And indeed, everybody who does wrong hates the light and avoids it, for fear his actions should be exposed; but the man who lives by the truth comes out into the light, so that it may be plainly seen that what he does is done in God.”

Truth cannot be but beautiful because it belongs to the light. If we are telling the truth then we have nothing to be afraid of. It is always good to express ourselves in truth. On the other hand, if we are the receiver of truth, how do we respond to it?
