Creation & Light

God said; God saw; God called - It is powerful and personal I. The EARTH - 1:2a Was formless and void - meaning it was unfinished and uninhabited. Material is made then formed. And darkness was over the face of the deep - Gen. 1:9-10 II. The SPIRIT - 1:2b Was hovering over the face of the waters - determines, decrees, authority over, is there a veiled reference to Jesus walking on the water? The Trinitarian Creator - John 1:1-3, 14; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:2 III. The FIRST DAY - 1:3-5 And God said (God is verbal). - first recorded words of our Creator) - Reminds men of several occasions when Jesus spoke with great response: John 11:43; John 19:30; II Thessalonians 2:8-12; Revelation 19:13, 15, 21 “God is Light”- future description of our Creator (I John 4); Also God is love ; God is holy. And God saw (God is visual) And God called (God is definitive) - later in chapter 2 Adam would name the animals. + Creation, Separation, & Light are eventually placed in the context of the gospel of saving grace: = John 1:1-13 = Revelation 21:22-27; 22:1-5

The Promises of Christmas Truth

III. The PROMISE is a Person (JC) - The Praise of Mary - 1:26-45; 46-56 Mary is a WITNESS of Christmas Truth: How so? Mary is a WORSHIPPER - inward worship! Her soul & spirit moved with exaltation and rejoicing - This reaction flows from a heart of faith responding to God’s grace There are 3 Examples of Mary’s Faith that we must emulate: (1) Mary is SAVED - God my Savior! Like King David, when in Psalm 23 he declares, “God restores my soul” (2) Mary is BLESSED - a recipient of blessing - not a giver of blessing (3) Mary is THOUGHTFUL (theologically mindful) - She calls God “holy” and “mighty”; She reminds us of God’s “mercy”; of God’s “strength”; She confronts the “pride” of humanity bc she knows God values humility; She reminds kings that they are under God’s authority; She clarifies how God deals with the poor and the rich; She remembers “Israel”; She remembers “Abraham” -
