The Good Light
Genesis 1: 4-5

 

The Light God saw and called good from before the foundation of the world, that Light which separates his children out of darkness into his marvelous light, which makes his newly created children to be children of the Day and no longer children of the night, is Christ Jesus the Light.  As the Word creates us anew in spirit, so the Lord shall create our bodies anew when he returns (1 Corinthians 15: 5-57).   So too, the new heavens and new earth shall be his righteous creation (Revelation 21: 1-7).

 

Brethren, we spent the days of our darkness looking at creation (even religious traditions) trying to understand God.  But when God gives the Light of Christ we look to God and then understand creation. “The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory” (Is 60: 19).
