As we being the "" series, we explore John 3:16-21, where Jesus is revealed as the light that stepped into darkness. This passage highlights a crucial decision: will we live in the light of Christ, or will we continue to hide in darkness because of sin? We’ll discuss how the pursuit of "hidden knowledge" by the Gnostics parallels today's culture, where many seek enlightenment within themselves, but Jesus teaches us that true light and life are found in Him alone. As we walk through these themes, we will confront the ways we may live comfortably in the world’s darkness, even while professing faith, and how stepping into the light requires bringing every part of our lives—our struggles, sins, and desires—before God. This message calls us to reject the false promises of self-realization and worldly pleasures to embrace the new life offered by Jesus, the true light of the world.
