Coming To Light

“But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." John 3:22

As our Lord spoke to Nicodemus concerning the sin of unbelief, He used the fact that Nicodemus came to do his deed under the cover of darkness. This revealed that Nicodemus' covert confession was nothing more than an evil deed which was born of unbelief. This Pharisee's actions were what the old Latin scholars called "splendida picatta" or shining sins.

Our Lord then makes a contrast between the deed of this man, and the deeds of true believers. He says that whereas the unbeliever hides from the disclosure of Light, the believer comes to the Light for the purpose of disclosure. The believer's deeds, referred to as "doing the truth", are made manifest by the Light. The beauty of this is that this open display is toward God, proving that there is no presumption on the part of the believer. He does not come to the Light to profess his merit, or to present a list of reasons for acceptance with God. The believer, in truth, comes to the Light to deny himself. He comes to the Light to disclose that if anything of value proceeds from him, it cannot be attributed to his own merit. On the contrary, all that he is or does that is of any spiritual nature or value is revealed in the Light as being "wrought in God".
