God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. Genesis 1:4
When reading through the first chapter of Genesis, it’s interesting to note that God doesn’t mention anything about creating man until verse 26, but in the first four verses He has already talked about Jesus several times! Before God had spoken a word about Adam or his plan to create man in His image, He spoke about sending His Son, the Light, into the world!
How true it was when the early Apostles boasted about the eternal plan God had concerning Jesus and His coming!
“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.” 1 Peter 18-21
It’s clear that Jesus was not God’s emergency plan in response to Adam’s fall. Jesus was never ‘plan B’; on the contrary, it seems that there has never been another plan in God’s mind besides Jesus! God actually put His entire hope in His Son before the creation of the world. What trust He had in Jesus, and Jesus did not fail Him! He finished everything the Father asked him to do perfectly!
It is no surprise then that we find the Father declaring in verse four of Genesis that Jesus being sent into the world was ‘good’, for Jesus is the very essence of God’s ‘good news’ to the world.
It’s also wonderful to know that even today, God’s plan is continuing to work itself out in such a powerful way all across the globe. As the light of Christ continues to shine, those living in darkness are drawn to him, and they too are transformed to be light in the Lord.
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Ephesians 5:8
Now that we are in Christ, we can live at peace with God, for the light of Christ is continually shining upon us. In fact it’s even better than that, because the light is not only shinning upon us, but by the grace of God we have actually become light in the Lord!
God really is incredibly wonderful
