Second day - God's Word

On the second day, water is a picture of the Word telling of God’s message. The message is that God is Holy and Love. It is the message of God’s character.

Before creating Adam, God divided his message into two parts to make it easier to understand. ‘Holiness’ is ‘separate’, ‘Love’ is ‘together’; God is both. A very young theologian said, “That’s impossible!”. They appear to be opposites.

Rather than allow us to mix them up in some weird way, he separated them to make each known clearly. He expressed holiness through separation, law and judgement. He expressed Love through patience, and the sacrifices, and the blessings. Then he joined them again at the cross perfectly.

The firmament, as Christ, joins the waters above and below; Holiness and Love.

When did God create he water? He didn’t say. If he said when he created physical water, we may think that he created the Word. But the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [] His message cannot be separated from his person. In the symbols, water always existed, so we know that the Word always existed.
