Love the Light of Truth

Joh 3:16-21 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (18) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (19) And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (20) For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. (21) But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Christ brought the light of Himself, His Truth into the world to expose good and evil.  Back in the garden, Adam and Eve believed the lie that they would be as God, knowing good and evil, and they ate the fruit.  But they didn't see clearly all the complexities.  Satan lied, and they walked away, and humans since have believed they knew what was good and what was evil, but they, and I, have been wrong.  Christ came, exposing what was really evil and what was really good to humans who thought they knew.
 
As husbands, we need to be willing to bring our deeds into His light, so they might be made plain to ourselves, for our benefit and for the good of our wives, who is under our leadership, as we are under His leadership. 
 
So we need to make sure we are, really, under His leadership, because that is one way He loved us, and we are to love our wives...by loving and being submitted to the Truth.
