Let There be Light... God
Share
Let there be Light is one of the first things God brings into being after creating the universe. However, what light is the writer of Genesis referring to?
In the Beginning
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, shrouded in formless darkness. Then, with a powerful command, He said, “Let there be light,” and light burst forth, illuminating the void. This act was not merely about visibility; it marked the separation of light from darkness, establishing the very essence of creation.
Genesis 1:3 recounts this momentous declaration, highlighting that light was deemed good by God. Yet, intriguingly, the sun, moon, and stars—the celestial bodies we often associate with light—were not created until the fourth day. This raises profound questions about the nature of the light God introduced on the first day.
The Source of Light
Isaiah 60:19 and Revelation 21:23 suggest that God Himself is the source of this light, transcending the physical illumination we know. In this context, the light of day does not simply signify time; it embodies life itself, the very essence of existence that God infused into creation.
