About this sermon

Jesus left us with no doubt as to how people respond to the light of truth apart from a sovereign, saving, work in their souls. "For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed." (John 3:20 ESV) In that one verse, we are told four things about how the natural man responds to the light. The scope of the response – Everyone who does wicked things The source of the response – hates the light The manifestation of the response – does not come to the light The motivation of the response – lest his works should be exposed What does this tell us about a man in his natural state? He runs from the light. He hates the light. He refuses the light. He resents the light. What this means is that, since the fall, there is an inborn bias against the light.
