So I woke up today and I was going to put up some nice elegant post of some sort but something in me just said that I needed to share this reflection I had written 2 years ago while in physics class when we were taking notes on light. I have made a few modifications since the original version simply to make it more theologically accurate because at the time I lacked in knowledge that I now have. Still the message stays the same.
In science we are taught that black is not a color, it is just the absence of light. God tells us that he is in the light. In Genesis it says how before God created light there was nothing it was darkness, does this mean before light there was no God? but yet in order to have black darkness (the absence of light) there had to be light in order for there to be the absence of light.
Before Jesus, was hell not hurtful but just black darkness? When Jesus went to hell to save us did he bring light in that moment creating fire? This fire being not absence but ultimate desire to be with him? After all God describes his heart as burning with desire to love us and for us to love him. Is this not like a desperate girl after a break up? She wants the guy so much that it hurts her and after a while she forgets why shes hurting, she just hurts with the desire to be with him but she has forgotten it is him that she wants and desires.
Did God not exist before the light? or did he exist but not yet been revealed until the love and desire for human life was created? Could that be what created light? Does light consists of two parts? God's love for us and the essence of what we are as humans, could it be that when the God's love and God's desire for human life were brought together they create a big explosion and in return we were created? and when we were created a white pure light was made, thus revealing God to us? Is God not light without the essence of human life?
Therefore, if God is light then one must think we must have been created to absorb the light. White light is pure it's made up of all light but we as humans are colorful beings, we absorb light and what we reflect off of us is what we don't absorb, what we don't absorb keeps us from being white perfect light, what we don't absorb is reflected and goes to waste. So by being colorful as humans we are showing our imperfection, were not absorbing all the light, all the colors.
What colors we reflect are the colors we don't absorb and when we become blackness and go into the dark we would be refusing to absorb, refusing to absorb the great white and pure light that is our God.
