In this verse-by-verse exposition, Dr. Matthew Everhard explores the creation of light on the first day, examining the power of God’s spoken Word, the goodness of light, and the profound biblical theme of light overcoming darkness that stretches from Genesis to Revelation. Why does God create light before the sun, moon, and stars? What does it mean that God separates light from darkness? And how does this first act of creation point us forward to Jesus Christ, the Light of the World? This sermon also explores the scientific wonder of light, the theological meaning of God’s creative command, and the spiritual application for believers today.
