The sunrise is not just a sunrise; it’s a word. It has meaning, intent, communicative content. It bears a message. So do clouds and laughter and honey and pearls and chairs and soda. All of them are spoken into existence by the Word of God, making creation, as one of my friends says, “the Word’s words.” Or, as Ken Myers once said, commenting on Psalm 1, “Trees are audio-visual aids to help us understand righteousness.”4 Edwards refers to creation-as-communication as “images of divine things” or “types.”
