"Let there be light"

From the January 1967 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
Gen. 1:3 This self-enforcing command, "Let there be light," reveals God as perfect divine Being, who was, is, and ever shall be, and His creation as spiritual and perfect.

The human consciousness requires spiritual light to see beyond its limited outlook. Such light coming to this consciousness dispels the darkness of mortal belief and presents God as perfect cause and man and the universe as perfect effect.

The beloved disciple John, in speaking of the revelation of Truth which had come to him through Christ Jesus, wrote, "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
I John 1:5 The great Master, the promised Messiah, had come to reveal the glorious light that corrects the false concept of man as a corporeal mortal subject to enslaving evil.
