Light and Darkness

The thought that I want to bring out is Light-Darkness, side by side. Not some simplistic process by which everything good flourishes and everything evil is abolished. We’d all like it that way, but it’s not going to be that way. And it’s going to be complex. In Mark 13, which is the chapter that Jesus deals with the period before the end of the age, the word watch occurs four times. And Jesus says at the end of it, “What I say to you my disciples, I say to all. Watch, stay awake.”
