Greetings! "This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all." (1 John 1:5) " . . .Christ was to suffer, and that by reason of His resurrection from the dead He would be the first to proclaim LIGHT (emphasis mine) both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles." Acts 26:23 When God said, "Let there be Light," imo, He was revealing Himself. 2 Cor 4:6 tells us, "For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ." Contrast this with, 2 Cor 4:4 "the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." The LORD is God, and He has given us light;(Ps 118:27) Job askes, "Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, And whom God has hedged in?" (Job 3:23) Perhaps the answer to Job's question is that God gives us Light ( which is Christ Himself) to be known! Jesus said, "This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed." John 3:19-20 Although the Light has been given, men reject the Light, because their deeds are evil, and when the Light shines upon them, they recognize them as such. So imo when God said, "Let there be light," He had a twofold purpose, first to enlighten men to the Presence and reality of a knowable Holy God and secondly as a mean s to reveal our sinfulness. (see also Dan 2:20-22; Job 12:22) I hope this has helped! May the Light of Christ shine upon you! Blessings, mommapbs |
