Coming to Light

I think what's most unsettling in the recent tidal wave of allegations of sexual misconduct amongst prominent public figures is that these wrongs have largely taken years (in some cases, decades) to surface. The chorus of "me, too" in the aftermath of all these revelations says that there is something pervasive about this issue that makes me wonder then, how many other evils are there that go unaddressed? What I am certain of is that Scripture doesn't gloss over pointing out what's wrong (e.g., Colossians 3:5-10, Romans 13:13) and exhorts us to live upright, godly lives (Titus 2:11) as people redeemed by Jesus Christ. We must acknowledge that there is in fact a badness that resides in all of us, and when all comes to light on that day that Christ returns, we shall see in full the greatness of our rescue.
