Wouldn’t be nice if every time darkness and temptation was approaching us, we would hear some ominous music playing in the background to warn us? Wouldn’t be awesome to have John Williams composing the soundtrack of our lives? As awesome as that would be, it’s a fantasy—just like the Skywalker saga that we find in the mythical Star Wars universe. The reality is that darkness and evil lurk around every corner and we are seldom aware until it is too late! As we’ll discover today, the power of darkness resides in us—in the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life. So as we continue our study in 1 John this morning, we’re going to be focusing on power of darkness and the promise of God to overcome the power of darkness in our lives.
