For any serious Christ follower, walking in the light is the targeted aim. That's because John, the inspired apostle of Jesus, tells us that if we walk in the light, the blood of Jesus purifies us from all sin (1 John 1:7). But this same man who walked, talked, and cried with Jesus, outlines the diametric, spiritual opposition of walking in the lightan opposition that should haunt all Christians down to their core: Anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them (1 John 2:11). Said in another waythey are blinded by darkness. Many well intentioned Christians find themselves in this position. In Blinded by Darkness, Jacob Hawk explains in practical ways the profound depth of John's diagnosis. What does life look like if we are, indeed, blinded by darkness? This vital question must be answered to enjoy a harmonious relationship with God."
