Have you ever seen a flashdark?

Tomorrow for my Children's Sermon, I am planning to answer the question, "If God is good and He created everything, where does evil come from."

So....have you ever seen a flashdark? That would be a device that projects darkness into a sunlit room. Flashlights are common, but I haven't heard of anyone owning a flashdark.

When we go to bed at night, we don't turn on the dark, we turn off the light.

Darkness is the absence of light.

It is interesting that God is often referred to as Light.

God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him, yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. I John 1:5-7

Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. John 3:19-20

Just as darkness is the absence of light, so evil is the absence of God. God is good. God is light. Where He is not present, evil and darkness dwell.

Evil didn't need to be created. It is a natural consequence of God's absence.
