If a person has, by grace, fallen in love with the light, been willing to let all the absolute horrors of his life, his mental life, his heart life, his sex life, his physical life, his money life,

his killing life, be exposed and forgiven and cleansed and justified and thus willing to come

to the Savior, he will go into life magnifying the grace of God.

What would it look like not to just admit sin, but actually bring every part of your life

into the light of Christ, all of it? And that's where this particular message goes. I'm your host,

Dan Kroover. In this episode of Light and Truth, John Piper walks through John chapter 3,

verses 16 to 21 to show that those who are changed by grace come into the light are fully cleansed and live to make much of God's grace.

This sermon was originally preached at Bethlehem Baptist Church on May 17, 2009.

Let's start with verse 19.

This is the judgment.

What?

The light has come in to the world.

Now let's just stop right there and get that clear.

The light has come into the world.

What is that?

That's Jesus.

John, the writer of this gospel, wrote in his first letter,

God is light.

And in him, there is no darkness at all.

And he said in the very first verse of this gospel,

the word was God.

And then in verse 14, the word became flesh. What else could he be but the light of the world?
