Hello,
Think of the common sayings which try to communicate things
that are opposite. Two of the most common are “night and day” and “black and
white”. The starkness of these leaves no room for moving one to the other or
having belonging to both – they are opposite from one another. John uses this
comparative when talking about Jesus.
John 1:3-5 “All things came into being by Him and apart from
Him nothing came into being that come into being. In His was life, and the life
was the light of men. And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness
did not comprehend it.” (NASB)
It struck me talking about this with some other folks this
last week how this opposite of light and darkness is not just reflective of our
need for Christ, but that as believers when we sin it is direct/full/polar
opposite to His nature and all that is Him. We need to remember this in the
middle of decision making, but also as we seek Him to restore the fellowship
when we sin. It should motivate us to do it faster and make sure that our
seeking of forgiveness is not ritual/mechanical but true and sincere because of
His nature.
Have a blessed day,
