"This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
"(Eph.5.32)
The analogy of the board game can explain the mystery. In the beginning God created heaven and the earth . This is one piece of the Jigsaw puzzle. What piece shall come next to it that is a perfect fit? "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." (Heb.11.3) How well does it fit? The worlds refer to heaven and the earth.Here one world which is not made of things which do appear. Heaven signifying it can stand scrutiny: for the will of God has no form. Comparing with the book of Genesis,'And the earth was without form, and void", can it not explain that heaven was made to appear so what kind of earth the Spirit is telling us about? It is the earth that abides forever; (Eccle.1.4) The Spirit is not presenting the heaven and earth literally but in terms of Father Son relationship.
Gen.1.2-3 " and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters./And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." Shall we look for a piece that fits with it? "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."( Jn 1.1) In the beginning is common with Gen.1.1 In the Gospel "In him was life; and the life was the light of men./ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." Both passages similarly deal with life,light and darkness. So we have two pieces of puzzle that explains one another. If darkness cannot comprehend the light the problem is with it and not with the Father or the Son. "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil./For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved." ( Jn 3.18-20). Because their deeds are evil.
