For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his workds might not be exposed. John 3:20
I remember looking for an apartment back in my college days when money was tight and my choices were limited. Despite that, we thought something with a little character would be nice. We arranged to see this place late one evening. It was in an older, "historical" section of town and had been a single-family home that was now converted into several units. We met the landlord who was obviously quite proud of his work on the building. We entered through a back door into the kitchen. As the lights were switched on, you could see and hear a platoon of cockroaches scurrying for cover. Needless to say our landlord was a bit crestfallen.
John's Gospel today reminds me of that apartment. Bad, creepy, crawly things do their best work under cover of the darkness, hidden from view. Sometiem we are more comfortable in the shadows, unwilling to confront the darker places in our hearts. Good things, like Jesus' message and truth flourish in the open.
Dear Lord, help us live in the light.
