Have you ever considered how a person can become their own worst enemy? This allegorical reflection depicts a confession of descent into darkness through fear, pride, ambition, and the illusion of control — using the familiar voice of a fallen hero redeemed by a hope that defeated his hatred. The confession isn’t the end though, because this reflection pivots at the turning point of the Gospel: The Son of God stepped into suffering on our behalf, defeating death, and offering eternal life to all who repent and believe. It wasn’t too late for me. It isn’t too late for you. A journey through the shadows of fear and pride leads to destruction. Walk with The Word to turn on the light.
