In God’s design, God wants mankind to govern what He has created to continue shining God’s light. But what happened? Man sinned. Human rebellion brought in darkness. Darkness that was once bounded began to expand into human experience.

There are three things to note from this:

1.  Man was created into God’s light and order.

2.  Man’s function is to facilitate that order and reflect that light.

3.  When God’s order is rejected, darkness can rule.

Darkness became something people loved. But God had a plan. The solution to the darkness in the world is the Light of God; he came into the world to bring that light.

Jesus is God’s salvation to the world. He’s the solution to all the world’s problems.
