Do you know what it means when the sun sets in the evening?
Does it mean the day is done? Yes it does but what else does it mean?
Does it mean it’s time to put the day aside and rest? Yes it does but what else does it mean?
Does it mean the earth is turning on its axis? Yes it does but what else does it mean?
Does it mean the curtain has closed on one portion of our lives? Yes it does but what else does it mean?
When the sun sets it means all the above but it also means at it’s appointed time it will rise in east just as it set in the west. Perhaps right now you find yourself walking in the darkness of the unknown and daybreak seems so far off. There’s a scene in the Jules Verne movie titled “Journey to the Center of the Earth” where the expedition discovers when they turn their lighting devices off there’s a brighter natural light in the darkness of the inner earth.
Even when the sun sets the Light of Jesus does not. It forever shines brighter than any sun could ever. And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. (Genesis 1:3 – 1:4 RSV) If you thought those verses applied only to the sun you’d be only partially right because they also apply to the SON!
Grace and Peace,
Gary
