Constant Reminder For You
We're children of Light
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the lord : walk as children of light
( Ephesians 5 verse 8 )
The sun and the moon have a wonderful relationship.
The moon isn't a light; it's a very black substance and yet it reflects the light it gets from the sun.
So sometimes we say we're like the moon, while Jesus gives us light to reflect.
This is a powerful idea, but it's not the best.
God doesn't regard us as the moon that reflects the light of the sun
Yes, the bible says Jesus Christ is the sun of righteousness ( Malachi 4 verse 2 ), but who are we?
You'll find the answer in 1 Thessalonians 5 verse 5 - 8
"Ye are all the children of light , and children of the day : we are not of the night or darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do: but let us watch and be sober.
For they that sleep sleep in the night ; they that be drunken are drunken in the night .
But let us who are of the day be sober , putting on the breastplate of faith and love , and for an helmet, the hope of salvation "
A dog will only give birth to a dog, just as human being can only give birth to a human: God is light and having begotten us through the gospel, We are lights just as Jesus is the light of the world. Jesus never told us to reflect his light , instead he said "Ye are the light of the world "
( Matthew 5 verse 14 )
We're the children of the light and children of the day , not of the night nor of darkness m
Light is that which makes manifest , it illuminates so that you can see.
That's our calling in this life , to bring illumination to the world
We're of the day and we give light for others to reflect because we're illuminators . Blessed be God!
I am a light in my world - Amen
