This is one of those passages of the Bible that is so often misunderstood. It’s what gives Christianity the reputation as the “Don’t Do” religion. Or it turns Christianity into a religion of communes and monks, where to follow Jesus means to run away from the evil, polluting world. But is this what John is saying in this passage? We will look carefully at this text and examine first, what world loving is not, second, what world lusting is, and third who is this world loving God that we await this advent season.
