Greg Laurie People offer up many excuses as to why they will not come to Christ . . . why they won’t come to church with you . . . why they ask you to not even talk about Jesus. Want to know what it really is? They don’t want to turn from their sin. John 3:19–20 says, “Their judgment is based on this fact: The light from heaven came into the world, but they loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. They hate the light because they want to sin in the darkness. They stay away from the light for fear their sins will be exposed and they will be punished” (NLT). History tells the story of a castle-like prison in Paris known as the Bastille. They decided to destroy it, for it had outlived its usefulness. A prisoner who had been kept confined in a dark, dingy dungeon in this prison for many years was brought out. But instead of welcoming his new freedom, he begged to be taken back in! It had been so long since he had seen the sun, he was blinded by its radiance. His only desire was to go back and die in the murky dungeon where he had been a captive. This pattern continues until eventually these people who hate the light become so hardened in their sin that they prefer the dark ways of eternal death. As Oswald Chambers said, “Sin enough and you will soon be unconscious of sin.” So many people I know are just as this says...Vanny
