Paul had just described people whose minds were blinded to the light of the gospel. Then he points all the way back to creation. The same God who spoke light into darkness in Genesis had done something just as incredible in their hearts. He opened their eyes to see what they couldn’t see before: the glory of God revealed in Jesus Christ. Paul wasn’t pointing to something they had figured out on their own. God had turned on the light.

God shines His light into hearts so people can know His glory through Jesus Christ.

There are things about God we simply cannot discover by trying harder or becoming smarter. We need Him to open our eyes. And when He does, Jesus becomes clearer, truth begins to make sense, and places that once felt dark are filled with His light.
*
As a Christian, we should never lose the wonder of being able to know God through Christ. Have we gotten so familiar with the gospel that we’ve forgotten what a gift it is to see His glory? Beloved, the God who spoke light into darkness is still the One who opens our eyes to see Jesus.

2 Corinthians 4:6 ~ For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
