The Truths about the Christ Child
Jerry Watts
John 1:1-13
Darkness is defined as the ''absence of light.'' In Genesis 1 we clearly see this concept. In verse 1 God created the heavens and earth and in the verse 2, darkness covered it all. God didn't created darkness, it simply exists. Then God created light and from that point forward everything has been different. Just to be clear, the light which God created was not the light of the sun because it wasn't until 3 days later that He created the sun. It is almost like God turned on the light switch of goodness, holiness, and purity, to give perfect light to the perfect world and universe He had in mind.
This light shined until sin switched the divine light off in the garden. Before this, as far as I can determine, there is no mention getting weary or sleeping except for the surgery which produced Eve.
At Sunday school they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he was ill, and she said, 'Johnny, what is the matter?' Little Johnny responded, 'I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife.'
After the sin in the garden, darkness invaded the hearts of mankind because the light of righteousness had been switched off. Starting from Genesis 4 running down the time line of the Old Testament and the New Testament throughout the history books, this truth can be followed even until today.
We can see it in the murder of Abel.
We can see it in the wickedness which prompted God to send the flood.
We can see it in the pull of King David to the rooftop.
We can see it working in Peter when he said, ''I don't know this man Jesus.''
We can see it in the life of Saul of Tarsus as he guarded the pocket books and clothes of those who stoned Stephen.
We can see it in the lives of those religious f ...
