Let there be light

 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. - Genesis 1:3-5

 

Let there be light – and there was light. The light was good and it divided from the darkness.

 

That’s some heavy stuff. There is an awful lot there

 

First – all there was was darkness. That’s it, a shapeless, empty, deep void in total absolute darkness. And then there was light. There is no greater contrast than darkness and light. Darkness is death and light is life. Darkness means fears confusion and life means clarity. Darkness is blindness and light is life. Darkness is where evil dwells and light is where God dwells.  The world is a kingdom of darkness and heaven is a kingdom of light.

 

In the beginning God said let there be light.  In the beginning there was spiritual darkness. Into that darkness God sent the light of His Son.

 

Both times everything changed. Both times light conquered darkness. This first light was the light of the glory of God. The sun wasn’t created yet. The light in John was also the glory of God in Jesus Christ.

 

So now we can walk in the light instead of in darkness. We have been translated from the kids from of darkness into the kingdom of light.

 

God’s first words were ‘let there be light’ and at the very end of His word God’s light will once again and there will be no more need for the sun.

 

So, let us walk in the light
