Cold, Darkness & Evil
According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every substance, whether a body or an object; is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy. Heat is what allows matter to have, or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-459.67° F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel when heat starts to disappear.
Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton’s prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. We cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. In order to measure how dark something is a measurement of the amount of light present determines the result. Darkness is a term to describe what happens when there is no light present.
Think about this concept…..
John 8:12 (KJV) Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Jesus is the light, If we have Jesus in our lives there is no darkness, there is no death. Sure our bodies will die, but our souls will spend eternity in heaven. The Gospel of John tells us about the beginning and the word. John states that all things were made by the Word and and explains life and light.
John 1:1-5 (KJV) ‘in him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5) And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
Why did darkness not comprehend? It did not comprehend, because darkness is simply the absence of light.
What about evil?
Genesis 2:9 (KJV) And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
When Adam and Eve ate of the tree, they first of all disobeyed God. While before they walked with God in the Garden; they were now hiding from him. They had left, or ignored his presence. Secondly they gained knowledge. It was the tree of knowledge after all. Before this they had no knowledge of anything except what God had shown and given them. Now, because they had ignored God’s command; they had knowledge of all things. They had knowledge of evil. The very act of eating the tree gave them knowledge of evil, because it was against God’s command.
John 8:44 (KJV) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Satan doesn’t do the truth, because he has an absence of it!
I pray that we can all be aware of the cause and effect that happens in our lives when we sin. God is not a cold, dark being that tempts us with evil. God is full of warmth, light and simply put…. GOOD!
