We prefer the darkness. That’s the stinging indictment in John 3. And that’s certainly the case with Herod. The Magi brought news of a star. They came to rejoice with Israel at such a wonder. But Herod found nothing in the message that would cause him to rejoice. Just the opposite. Herod saw the star as a challenge to his own kingdom. That’s what the light does. It shines into our lives and exposes those areas in which we insist on living within our own kingdom. And that’s why He came”_to bring us out of the kingdom of darkness, and into the Kingdom of Light.
