And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Strong's Concordance
216 430 559 1961

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes:
We have here a farther account of the first day's work. In which observe,

1. That the first of all visible beings which God created was light, the great beauty and blessing of the universe: like the first - born, it doth, of all visible beings, most resemble its great parent in purity and power, brightness and beneficence.

2. That the light was made by the word of God's power; He said, Let there be light - He willed it, and it was done; there was light - Such a copy as exactly answered the original idea in the eternal mind.
