WORD 2day: Wednesday, 2nd week in Easter time
April 22, 2020: Acts 5:17-26; John 3:16-21
The world contains four categories of people in relation to right things.
The first category are those who do the right - they are people of Light, courageous and convinced. The second category are those who assist those who do the right - they are people for the the Light, convinced and seeking the truth!
The third type are those who hinder anyone doing the right, these are people tending towards darkness and they stand for spreading that darkness. There is the fourth category, and the worst - they are those who are involved in doing the evil directly and acting against any light! We find all the four categories referred to in the readings today.

We find all the four categories referred to in the readings today.
The primary call we have today is to analyse our choices, our preferences and our priorities and see for ourselves, sincerely, to which of these four categories we would belong. Secondly, there is a lesson for us today, that while we strive to be people of the light and do the right, we can come across persons of all the four categories. What would our reaction be? What would guide our response in situations such as these...
Conformity? or Conflict? or Conviction? or Convenience?
