I have been recently studying Genesis 1 with Dillon (9) and Megan (7). Today I was testing them about what was created on each day. When we got to day 4, they were correct in answering that God created the sun, moon and stars. So I asked them why God created them. I was expecting them to say, “to govern the days, times, and seasons” or something similar. But Dillon said that the sun represented Jesus, in that He likes to be the Light. And Megan chimed right in that the darkness represented Satan, because he likes to do his work in the dark.
Wow! Maybe I don’t give them enough credit for the things they know.
