Full Moon

Full moon. Last night showed us the glory of God with an amazing full moon shining bright in the sky. I love when we have a full moon because it just lights up everything. It’s almost bright enough to be outside doing yard work. As we drove home last night, it was like the moon was guiding our way.

What’s amazing is that the moon produces no light of its own, it just reflects the light of the sun. What a Biblical principle that is. God and Christ are the source of the light, we are to be the reflection of their light. We produce no light of our own, we are nothing but sinners saved by the grace of God.

“In him was life, and the life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” - John 1:4-5. Jesus Christ came to this world to be the light of the world. He came to reflect the light of His Father even though the same light was within Him.

The purpose of His coming to earth was “to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."  - Luke 1:79.  As the moon reflects the light of the sun, so should we reflect the light of the Son!

Our job is to now reflect the light of Jesus Christ in how we live our lives, “for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.” - Ephesians 5:8-10.

Have a great day and God bless.
