Let there be Light

“And God said, ‘Let there be light: and there was light.” (Genesis 1:3)

God spoke light into existence on the first day of creation. But, the sun, moon and stars were not spoken into existence until the fourth day. So, what was the source of light on the first, second and third days without the sun, moon and stars?

The answer is in Revelation 21:23-25. The Bible tells us that when we get to the new Jerusalem that “…the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb (Jesus) is the light thereof…and the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.” In the next chapter of Revelation we read, “And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light…” (Revelation 22:5)

In heaven we will live in the brilliance and glory of the Lord Jesus, just as His brilliance and glory lighted the entire universe before there were sun, moon and stars. You can walk in His light today by simply repenting of your sins and receiving the Lord Jesus by faith.
