If Jesus truly had the words of eternal life as Peter said in John 6:68, why wouldn’t everyone who heard His words accept the message of the gospel?
The answer is found in John 3, right after the well-known proclamation of God’s love for man in John 3:16, we read this:
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. John 3:19-20
Is your love for your sin keeping you from accepting the free gift of salvation? Are you clinging to the darkness, hiding from the light, so you can continue to engage in your sin?
Don’t be deceived, Light is coming. He will expose you for who you are and your evil deeds will be known by all. Repent and turn from your sin and allow the Light of the World to flood the darkness of your soul. Today is the day of Salvation!
