God created two great lights to brighten the earth; one for the day, the other for the night. Light is this case, gives life, warmth, and good health. The world very much depends on this great light, called the sun. It thrives on its warmth as its beams reach far and widely day after day, and without It, vegetation, as our food source, would not survive, and without its warmth our body would not function; our soul would fall into depression. “From promoting the growth of plants and crops to keeping people warm, sunlight is essential for life. In addition, many people enjoy the feeling of sunlight, and there is increasing evidence to support its many health benefits.” All lives depend on the light of the sun. Places where the sun is limited, people are prone to cancer of various types. So, the sun is life sustainer. Its light rises up lowly in the dark of the day, announcing its arrival with its rays dispersing the dark of the night, bringing in the dawn, the beginning of a new day. Everything becomes visible at its light and fear disappears. This is the Lord God displaying His faithfulness day after day. The Bible says, Of the heavens has God made a tent for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber and it rejoices as a strong man to run his course. Its going is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the ends of it; and nothing is hidden from the heat of it (Ps. 19). While the sun makes its round, the earth rests; we close our eyes as in a sleep till the sun wakes us up with its light, calling us to our duty. Our earthly life functions around the sun’s schedule.
As our physical life depends on the light and warmth of the sun, so does our spiritual life. YAHSHUA is the sun of the earth; He is Light, exposing the darkness in us and in the world. He said, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is life; you will have the Light only a little while longer. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness may not overtake and overcome you. He who walks about in the dark does not know where he goes. While you have the Light, believe in the Light, that you may become sons of the Light and be filled with Light.” (John 8:11; 12:34-36a). “In Him was Life and the Life was the Light of men; and the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it. There was – the true Light coming into the world that illumines every person.” (John 1:4-5). His presence in us shines truth, guiding us in the way we must go, keeping us from stumbling and falling.
