Let There be Light (Gen 1.1-5)
From our “Moravian star” Christmas theme:
Of course we are talking in our passage about our natural, material universe, but light and darkness are emblematic of spiritual themes, not only in the Bible but in the consciousness of man. Thus we see these themes recurring in other religions as well, albeit corrupted as all false religions are.
It is only as we consider the theme of light in the Bible that we really understand it properly.
But more than mere understanding, I am going to submit to you that the theme of light and your personal relationship to it, as well as the Biblical presentation of it, speaks very loudly to man’s absolute need of and dependence on God.
Read the notes as you listen.
