[Faith-talk] the light of genisis

Hi
I believe it is Jesus because in the New Testiment Jesus says "I am the 
light of the world." He that follows me shall not walk in darkness but have 
the light of life. (John 8:12)

Subject: [Faith-talk] the light of genisis

Hi all. I've been wondering about this for a few hours. In Genisis, the 
first thing Elohim did was create light. But the sun and moon were not 
created until a few days afterward. So, what is the light of His first 
action?
