Resisting the Light Will Prove Our Undoing
Biblical Museum
John 7:31-36
And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ comes, will he do more miracles than these which this man has done?…


It is related of Jeine, the chief of one of the South Sea Islands, who had offered no small amount of opposition to the introduction of Christianity, that, during a sickness which terminated in his death, he manifested more mental distress than is usually seen in a heathen. He often expressed a wish that "he had died ten years before." And why? The light of life and love had been shining around him, but he had opposed its entrance into his heart, and its power over his people. And now, having loved darkness, in darkness of soul, stung by an upbraiding of conscience, he must die.
