Thursdays Child-John 1:4,5

This week on Thursdays Child we'll continue with the gospel of John. Starting with verse 4. It says, "Life itself was in Him, and this life gives light to everyone. 5) This light shines through the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. If we stop there for a moment and notice that just as we saw last week, verses 1-3 sent us back to Genesis. I think it's the same with verses 4 and 5. If we look back at Genesis 1:3, what was created on the first day? The very first thing created was the heavens and the earth, then on the first day God said let there be light, and there was light, and He separated the light from the darkness. As we also saw last week Jesus created everything that exists, so it's only natural that The Light (Jesus) created the light. Without getting off track too much let's just note that by the time this happened the angel Lucifer has already been kicked out of heaven, and now we have Satan (darkness) in the world as the opposing force to the Light. I think it's so cool that when we finally accept Jesus as our Savior we feel like the light bulb has finally come on and we realize that we were living in darkness all along, and this is how life was meant to be. We are actually living life like Adam and Eve knew it to be before they sinned, we just need to keep searching to be able to experience that one on one closeness with God. Thanks for searching with me Paul
