      John 3:19-21
      19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."


      Jesus is telling Nicodemus that theres plenty of light showing who he is, but some of the Jewish leaders like their life the way it is WITHOUT the Messiah. They love there traditions over the truth of God, and they are WITHOUT excuse for their rejection. Its not a problem with LIGHT but with their HEART.

      People today are not any different. Some people do not respond to Gods existence because they like their lives the way it is. They will not come to the light because their " deeds are evil. "

      People reject Gods truth for many reasons. They like their sin too much. They don't want to be labeled a " fanatic. " They don't want to give up their religious systems or tradition. But... some people love the truth more than these other things, and those are the people that are welcomed into the Kingdom.
      Very well said.

      Good pick, indeed.
      He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8)
