Absence of Light

Ever think about what is darkness anyway. The Simple answer is that it is just an absence of light. Could you imagine a world with no sun to provide light. 24/7 any light would have to be carried with you so you could find your way. Lots of people do not mind dark places but few can take extended periods of total darkness without going somewhat crazy unless they are sleeping. Even night vision goggles require some light to magnify or they are useless. When there is little or no light for sustained periods it can be depressing and hard to function. Very few indeed would choose to live in such a world if they have a choice. Even one who is totally blind enjoys the sunshine though they can not see it. The blind learn to adapt and function well but if given the choice to see again, who would refuse the chance to see and remain blind. Darkness limits mobility and the ability to function. What would be thought of a person who would choose to remain blind rather than have sight. If a person was born without any sight having always been totally blind and lived with others who were also born blind how could you convince any of them that they should undergo surgery on their eyes so they could see. They would think you were a crazy one since you were one of the few odd ones who claimed to be able to see things that they thought did not exist. They would most likely laugh and ridicule you for such a strange concept as having sight.
Now you might say that this is just a crazy thought as people who were blind in a world of darkness would be quick to want change. Why you think they would jump at any chance to see what could not be seen while being blind. Now let us consider such a thought.
The Bible tells us that Jesus is the Light of the world and that those who do not believe in him live and walk in darkness. The Bible teaches us that without faith in Jesus we can not understand spiritual things and can not enter Heaven. Jesus said that people love darkness more than light because their deeds are evil. In other words people choose not to believe because they do not want to repent and be changed by God so they can see and understand spiritual things. Just like the person born blind living with others born blind has a problem believing they need eye surgery so all born in spiritual darkness have problem believing they need God to perform heart surgery so they can understand spiritual things.
Will you choose to remain in spiritual darkness or will you allow God to change you from the inside out so you will have spiritual light.
The choice is yours to choose light or to remain in darkness. May you choose well for an eternal life of light.
