Genesis 1:1-5
Light in the Beginning
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.
Psalm 119:130
Your Word Gives Light
130 The unfolding of your words gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple.
John 8:12
Jesus is the Light
12 When 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."
C. S. Lewis said, “If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark...Dark would be without meaning.”...Why would we need or have eyes if there was no Light...Our eyes would be unnecessary...If there was no Light everything all the time would be dark...Not only would dark be without meaning, we would never would know what Light is...
In the beginning there was just a formless, empty darkness over the earth...There was no Light to take away the darkness in the day...There was no Light to warm the days...There was no Light in the night...There was no Light to separate the days from the nights...Everything was dark...And God gave us Light...God separated the Light from the darkness...Light forever would separate the dark and its darkness...By just speaking His Words, God gave us Light...
God and His Son put an end to the never ending darkness...
Jesus is the Light of the world...When we follow Him, we never walk in darkness...By following His Word, the Light comes on from out of the darkness...We see the Light and the Light is Good...If we follow the Light we will never walk in darkness...Jesus gives us meaning to Light and why we need the Light...Jesus' Word gives meaning to life and meaning to the universe...
