Let There Be Light

We are doing a "series" that is going to go verse by verse in Genesis at The Austin Stone. and we only got through about 4 verses this morning. It was very interesting how Matt showed up "the Gospel according to Genesis."

3And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness -Genesis 1:3-4

The he sited many references when Christ called Himself the "Light."

12When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” -John 8:12

This plan was from the beginning. And there was light. And it was good.

It challenges me to be light. It challenges me to look at light differently, to see it as invented by my Lord. Light is everywhere, it is why we can comprehend color. Light is what brings people joy when the sun finally emerges from the clouds. Light is what gets us off our butts and out of bed when all we want to do is be lazy. Light is good.
