Hidden Sin

For everyone who practices wicked things hates the light and avoids it, so that his deeds may not be exposed. But anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be shown to be accomplished by God.”
John 3:20‭-‬21 HCSB

These are Jesus's words to Nicodemus and the previous verse says:

“This, then, is the judgment: The light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.
John 3:19

Jesus was telling Nicodemus why the Pharisees rejected Him, their deeds were evil. Now, as the Pharisees were the religious leaders, this is a sad indictment.

Unfortunately religious leaders are the main ones opposing a new move of God. They oppose men but they are actually resisting the Holy Spirit, not a good look!

What bad deeds can religious leaders hide? Unfortunately everybody is capable of sin and sin unrepented of is hidden sin, which God will expose Himself. Power, money or sex are the usual baits and many fall for them. When a person begins to hide one sin it festers and grows and becomes a nasty disease.

If we find ourselves doing things we shouldn't we must find someone to talk to and get them to pray with us. If we repent God will forgive us and cleanse us from all wrongdoing. He is good!
