What is the Source of Light? -- Who is the Source of Light?
I don’t even know how many times that I have read the creation account in Genesis and this evening as I doing my home work for the current sermon series at Northside Christian Church I was reading Genesis chapters 1 and 2 again. Ho hum, here we go again. Then it hit me. If you will forgive the pun the light dawned on me after all of these years.
“1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”
“3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.” Genesis 1:3-5 Holy Bible NIV
What is the source of light or perhaps a better question would be the source of light is who? Of course the answer is that I would always have given is the sun.
Now I re-read the verse three “And God said, ‘let there be light,’ and there was light.” This was the first day.
Jump to day four: "14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night." Genesis 1:14-16 Holy Bible NIV
Consider if you will there have been three evenings and three mornings and on this day (the Fourth day) God creates the sun, the moon, and the stars. Light has been created for three days before what we consider the source of light to be was even created.
Likely some one who is much smarter that I am will see a fallacy in my thinking about this. Okay, so be it.
Is it any wonder that scientists are confused about the nature of light; perhaps not? Perhaps because they choose to ignore the Creator they are unable to understand the true nature of light?
