John 13:18-30 Throughout his writings in the

Scriptures, John prominently uses the analogies of light to

goodness and darkness to evil. Our current passage of study

reflects just such an instance. As the light of the world (John

8:12), Jesus has come to bring sinners out of spiritual darkness.

Yet, the means for this mission would only come by His suffering

upon the cross, unquestionably the darkest time in redemptive

history. As then, so now, these four truths deserve our

consideration - even when it is night.
