Wednesday of the Second Week of Easter

John 3:16-21

... the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light because their works were evil ... whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God."

We are among those who "prefer the darkness." But if we "live the truth" we find in our heart, we know that our first preference is for everything about this life. Jesus beckons us to "come toward the light." Then when the prison guards open the doors of the jail of our making, it will be like the empty tomb - they will find no one inside.
