For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord God, you live in light inaccessible. You are the sun of righteousness that sheds your lovely light on us. Thank you for coming to save the world. Thank you for raising us up to light imperishable when our lives here below have run their earthly course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><em>Lumen Christi:<\/em><\/strong> This passage can be divided neatly into two parts. Verses 16-18 speak of the Son of God. God gave his only Son; God sent his only Son; those who do not believe in the Son of God are already condemned. Verses 19-21 speak of the light. The light came into the world; the wicked do not come toward the light; but whoever lives the truth comes to the light. The Son of God is the light. John 8:12 says, \u201cI am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.\u201d At the beginning of the Easter Vigil Mass, as the priest holds up the Paschal candle, he intones three times \u201c<em>Lumen Christi<\/em>!\u201d and the people respond, \u201c<em>Deo gratias<\/em>!\u201d This means, \u201cLight of Christ!\u201d and \u201cThanks be to God!\u201d It is God who has sent light into the world, not \u201cto condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.\u201d\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dispelling Unbelief: <\/strong>God sent his Son into the world to save the world, but from what does it need saving? From unbelief. The passage does not say that God condemns the wicked deeds of men (though of course he does); it does not say that he condemns at all. It simply affirms, \u201cWhoever does not believe has already been condemned.\u201d Unbelief bears its own punishment. The world needs saving from unbelief in Jesus Christ. Life apart from Jesus leads to wicked works done in darkness. I cannot reject Jesus and at the same time retain goodness, light, and truth\u2014at least, not in their fullness. \u201cI am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life (and the light!),\u201d says Jesus.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>God Sent the Light:<\/strong> Another translation of John 3:16 reads, \u201cFor this is how God loved the world: he gave his only Son.\u201d There is nothing better than Jesus. God the Father can give no greater gift than his only-begotten Son. What\u2019s more, we can say that with the giving of Christ, God has already given us everything\u2014light and life and blessings and happiness and holiness. And friendship and love and truth and courage, and much more besides. Jesus is God\u2019s gift of salvation to us. The very name \u201cJesus\u201d means \u201cGod saves.\u201d He came for no other person, except that \u201ceveryone who believes in him might have eternal life.\u201d And the proof that he can give us eternal life is his own Resurrection.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, be the light of my life! Shine in me so that I can shine out to others, calling them to live in the light. You are that light! Give me the grace to do all my works \u201cin God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will pray the rosary meditating with Mary on the luminous mysteries of Christ\u2019s public life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> Read some selections from Pope Francis\u2019 encyclical on faith, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vatican.va\/content\/francesco\/en\/encyclicals\/documents\/papa-francesco_20130629_enciclica-lumen-fidei.html\"><em>Lumen Fidei<\/em><\/a>.
