Light v. Dark

John uses very simple, clear imagery when describing the Christian life.

Everyone understands children's fear of the dark. But as we get older, we come to believe that this fear is foolish.

In a sense, kids are wiser than adults in this matter. It genuinely is more dangerous to be outside alone after the sun sets than during the middle of the day.

Spiritually, the same thing happens. As we age, we become more complacent and less afraid of the dark.

This is unhealthy and foolish.
