Into A Dark World… A Creator and A Savior


In the YouVersion app, I’m doing one of the year long studies from The Bible Project. This one is called, “One Story that Leads to Jesus.” You can find it at… http://bible.com/r/GP4

The day 1 study included an animated video and then Genesis 1, 2, & 3 + Psalm 1. It had inspiring images of chaos and such that God turned into a world of life and peace. And it made me think of a song I wrote many years ago. The first line said, ”Into a dark world, a Savior came.” Since the study is going on with a group of people, it includes discussion. Here’s what I wrote…

Because of the mystery of God’s creation, the exact nothingness that preceded creation isn’t truly known. My writer’s brain took elements, like the enemy being cast down, and put that together in a story where the darkness that covered the earth was a result of that battle and belonged to the cast out devil.

And then…

Because there is nothing that is more powerful than The Almighty Creator, I imagine God driving His hand straight through that icky darkness and proving that Light is the most powerful.

Just like Jesus brought Light and Salvation into a cold and dark world, I believe the type and shadow before it was God bringing a garden of salvation into a place the enemy only thought he had control. God’s wonderful creations are all part of the story with the happiest ending of all, life forever with our Creator Abba Father.

Tell me what my commentary means to you, and if you like the study idea, I’d like to hear if you joined YouVersion and signed up for this or any other study. Blessings on your week and all of January!
