It is a Sunday. It is 9.30 AM. Qurbana in Palli starts in exactly 15 minutes. I'm sitting at home feeling vacant since I'm not in the church. I have a really bad cold, throat pain and headache. Bad combination. This winter has been tough.
Read the first chapter of Bible. Genesis Chapter 1.
I've read this chapter countless number of times. Reading from "The Good News Bible" that I got as a gift after 10th standard in Sunday School.
Genesis 1
This chapter explains the story of creation - the first 6 days.
First day God commanded "Let there be light". So earth got light and darkness before anything else.
Second day, Sky was created. That means atmosphere as formed.
Third day, land was created. That would mean that earth was covered with water at first and then land began to emerge. Once land was formed, there were all kinds of plants. So plants were the first living things to be created.
Fourth day, Sun and the moon appeared in the sky regularly, seasons also became regular.
Fifth day, all kinds of living creatures on the sea and birds were created.
Sixth day, all kinds of living creatures on the land were created. Then, after all this, God created human beings. Viola !
God looked at everything and he was pleased !
