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

i can relate this to our experience when coming out of a dark room into the bright daylight.. our eyes squint and hurt, and we can't see.. but yet by experience, we know it'll all be over soon..

similarly, when we enter into the path of light, it hurts when our past sins have been placed in front of us and we do not want to have to deal with it again.. but we know that the pain is temporal, and the reward is eternal..

so this is one lesson i've learnt from "john"-ing so far =D

An argument developed between some of John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the matter of ceremonial washing. They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified about—look, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.” To this John replied, “A person can receive only what is given them from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah but am sent ahead of him.’ The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. He must become greater; I must become less.” [John 3:25-30]

indeed, there is great humility in John.. when people criticised and commented about him, he acknowledges the facts and has remarkable humility to recognise that God is greater..

sometimes in life, we are really just too proud to admit so many shortcomings we have in our lives.. when someone gently prompts us about our mistakes, we react violently in protest without considering the validity of the comments.. may this passage about John be a model for us to follow, to learn humility and to be less critical of the people around us =D

as i reflect upon John 3:25-30 again, i wonder to myself that when i pray, am i expecting "He must become greater; I stay great", or really "He must become greater; I must become less"..

when something becomes greater, surely something else has to become less.. let it be us who becomes less, because we know we are weak and powerless.. and we need God, very very much..
