I’ve read Genesis 1 so many times I find myself skimming over things without devoting time to hear from God. It’s so easy to do that. You might find yourself saying “I already know everything there is to know about this; Let me get through this part to get to a better part”. Well here is a thought that resonated with me today.
It’s just a comparison of the story of creation and the story of redemption:
Creation- the earth was without form and void
Jesus- was beaten to the point that he was unrecognizable (without form and void)
Creation- the earth was empty (no life)
Jesus- was emptied (he had life but it was poured out- blood and water flowed)
Creation- God speaks “Let there be Light”
Jesus- Jesus speaks and darkness covers the earth
Creation- The Spirit of God hovers over the face of the waters of the earth
Jesus- Jesus cries out “God why have you forsaken me” (Gods presence is absent)
