Hey, Rick, nice observations. I had a minor epiphany in my own study of Genesis 1 when I realized how much of the Creation week involved “division.” Once you see that, it’s everywhere! Creation through division.

You are surely right to make a bee-line from this to Christ and our relationship to Him. The “new creation,” our new life in Christ, is a continual process of being divided and separated from the old world, the old life, etc.

Thanks, Steve, I appreciate the encouragement.

And re-rereading the paragraph you quoted, several different ways of saying it better are coming to mind. I gotta start reading and re-reading what I write before posting! :-)

I like this paragraph. I think it is very true.

“And God has so separated the light from the darkness that the two can no longer coexist; indeed, we can no define darkness as the absence of light, and we get only a vague sense of their mixture within the shadows which may be cast upon various objects, yet as the light increases, the darkness is diminished accordingly.”

Thanks,

–Steve
