This homily for the 4th Sunday of Lent is based on John 3:14-21.
As I was praying over today’s Gospel, one line leapt out of the page. It’s a line I’m familiar with, having come across it so many times before, but for some reason, as it often happens when we read our scripture, our context, the situation we find ourselves in, shapes what we understand and see in the texts we read.
The line is: “the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil.”
