Speed of Light

Google tells me it is 340 years since the speed of light was determined.

I don’t think light has a constant speed, because it is finite.

It is not good enough to assume that it keeps on when we cannot see it.

There is a Lux Aeterna, God’s light, which penetrates through all sorts of physical barriers. It is a light in a different world; it is an eternal light. As such, motion is not an issue.

Yesterday I had a small devotion during Assembly at school. I was given a text to deliberate on, but I opted to light a candle and simply read it – read it slowly, as when you recite poetry –

“For unto us a child is born.

Unto us a Son is given;

And the government will be upon His shoulder.

And His name will be called

Wonderful, Counselor,

Mighty God,

Everlasting Father,

Prince of Peace.”

Then a small group of seniors from the English class stood up and sang, with clear and soft voices: “Silent night, Holy night! All is calm. All is bright. Round yon virgin mother and child, Holy Infant, so tender and mild. Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.”

All the students rose to join a verse in the Norwegian version which starts with : Fred på jord, fryd på jord... Peace on earth, joy on earth…

If you want to measure the speed of light in set physical conditions, there is value to that, but this doesn’t even come close to the immediate soul penetrating light from the realm of God!
