November 27, 2011: Let There Be Light – Michael Hidalgo

Of all the things God could have created first, he created light. Which begs the question, did light exist before God created it? Then he set the light apart from darkness. Which is interesting, because exactly where does light stop and darkness start? How can one separate these two things? Where is the boundary?

For all that we know of light there is still mystery associated with it. This is where we will begin Advent. Exploring the mystery, power, and beauty of light. In this we will remind ourselves that the only thing the human eye actually sees is light. What we think we see – trees, cars, mountains, houses, or anything – are only light being refracted. This is why when it is dark we cannot see anything. Fascinating that the only thing we were created to see is light.
