Genesis 1:3-13 continuing…

On the first day of the beginning of the “Painting of the canvas” God creates light for this new creation (vv. 3-5). What this light is is somewhat of a mystery; at least to me. The reason I say that is because, the sun and moon will not be created until day four. My only explanation for this light could be that it is light of God Himself giving life to this creation. There is Day and there is Night. The light is called Day, and the darkness called Night, and darkness would be the place where there is no light.

At any rate we are told on this first day of creation, “And God saw the light, that it was good”. Could it be also that these things – sun, moon, stars were created, but not visible to the earth until the fourth day? That would only be conjecture; as is the first thought. There is much about the beginnings which we do not know; and is quite possible we may never know; at least until we see Jesus.

It is with joy that we can see that God saw the light, “That it was good”, and does not say that of the darkness. “God is light; and in Him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). When you are trusting Jesus, you are trusting the Father and you are walking in the Light.
