Part 4: Sun, Moon, & Stars (Genesis 1:14-19)

14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. ~Genesis 1:14-19

On Day 4, our amazing God creates the sun, moon, and stars. Notice that God explains why He made each thing that He created. The sun's purpose is to rule the day and give light on the earth. So also, we should give the LIGHT of the Gospel to others. The moon's purpose is to rule the night.

Rachel's Reflections & Applications:

• Look at the stars and ponder what God has created. Admire how intricately He designed it.
• Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with your friends and family. Tell them of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection that was done for us!

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. ~1 Corinthians 15:3-4
