Have you ever heard of the saying "what's done in the dark will come to light?" What does that mean? I have always understood it to mean that what you do in secret will eventually get out and will no longer be a secret.
It is actually a quote from Jesus regarding hypocrisy. Men who hide truth from other men may be successful in that context, but what about hiding something from God. Can you actually hide something from God? What would you even want to hide from God? Shame for our sins makes us try to hide from God. Remember Adam and Eve when they hid from God after eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil? They hid because they were ashamed.
Jesus is saying that whatever we do to try to hide from man will still be seen by God. God can see all. So, even if you commit a crime and try to cover it up, God knows. God knows everything. What we do in darkness (distance from God) shall be heard by God's all knowing ears. God wants us to not hide from Him but connect to Him and His will as we see in Romans 8:29. God wants us to be like His son, Jesus. The more we are like hima nd seek to be like Him by remaining in God's will, the less we will feel the desire to hide from our shame.
