The Antidote

"The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it?"
Jer.17:9

"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned."
Isaiah 9:2

"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light"
Eph.5:8

12 "When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”"
John 8:12

Let's face it, darkness dwells within the human heart. In the days before television, when there was only radio theater, there was a show called "The Shadow", and the slogan was "Who knows what darkness dwells in the hearts of men? THE SHADOW KNOWS..." Always simmering beneath the surface is darkness, the antithesis of the fruits of the Spirit, the fruits of carnal living. People naturally gravitate to dirty jokes, immoral behavior, adultery, lies, and worse, because the unrenewed heart is full of darkness. Things haven't changed from the time the Bible was written until now; the tools and technologies have changed, but not the heart.
But Jesus changed everything!
In Him is the Light of Men. He is the Redeemer, The Deliverer ... The Antidote to a deadly disease - Sin. The Light that drives out profound darkness, changes stone cold hearts and dead men's bones into a Spotless Bride living with divine purpose, driven by the revelation of divine love.
