LIGHT-‘KEY ELEMENTS DESCRIBING OUR GOD’(PART 1)

Our latest series ‘KEY ELEMENTS DESCRIBING OUR GOD’continues.

In this series, we'll be using variouselements to give a clearer and deeper description of our LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST.

We looked at WATER last week. This week, we look at LIGHT(Gen 1)& this is PART 1.

Okay, So:
The entire universe is made up of certain materials or elements. The beauty of it is that God made them in their diversity- some visible & others not.

This is for our own benefit & most importantly to help in serving him pleasingly.

Now,
LIGHT is an electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the
electromagnetic spectrum with its speed in a vacuum of 186,281 miles/ 300,000 kilometers/ 299,792,458 meters per second.
(I even confuse sef...break it down wai)

Simply, LIGHT is a form of energy or 'something' that makes it possible to see.(Aaa!,SIMPLE)

The sources of LIGHT are numerous. We have fire, electric lamp,candles and many others.

Other..... sources are the SUN,STARS & the MOON.
Does that lead us somewhere?
Does that fill in the gap there?

Certainly, this tells us there are NATURAL and ARTIFICIAL sources and I'm sure you know where to place what.

It's good scientists  agree to this and go on to tell us  that LIGHT as we call it is only the VISIBLE LIGHT we  only see.
(Meaning there is that LIGHT 'process' we don't see)

They also tell us animals can see different types of light. Dogs can see only shades of gray and some insects can see light from the ultraviolet part of the spectrum.
(For example, fireflies use light to locate mates, and vampire squids use it to hide themselves from prey
The process is called Bioluminescence.)

IT'S GETTING SCIENTIFIC EE? I KNOW BUT  KINDLY RIDE  ALONG WITH ME ON THIS LIGHT JOURNEY.

We also learnt that SUNLIGHT is used by plants to prepare their Food (Photosynthesis)

*Lastly,it takes about 7 minutes for light from the Sun to reach Earth.
*It takes over 4years for the light from our Sun to get to the nearest star.
*It would take a particle of light over 100,000 years to get from one side of our galaxy to the other side.

Beloved, does all these tell us  something about LIGHT?

*OTHER DEFINITIONS OF LIGHT INCLUDING SPIRITUAL ONES refers to:
Celestial body, the representation of light in art, INNER LIGHT,
TRUTH, ENLIGHTENMENT, ILLUMINATION.

A reflection of all the information above tell you that Light has a  one divine source and that is in GENESIS 1:3.

Join me this evening as we delve into the SOURCE OF LIGHT (GOD/BIBLE) for deeper understanding.
(Take note_ these elements only describe& not equated to GOD)

SO I SAY:
LIGHT IS A KEY ELEMENT DESCRIBING  OUR LORD.
