Dear Friends,
Have you ever stared up at the moon and wondered? I particularly like a full moon on a cold dark night. There is often no need for a torch, for the light coming from the moon is enough to see in the dark. And then that started me thinking. No matter how bright the moon is, it has no light of its own. It is simply a huge lump of rock floating in time and space. A dark cold world with no life or light. Yet it shines bright in our night sky and its brilliance has caused poets to write about it, singers to sing about it, and lovers to promise the one they love that all they need to do is ask and they will climb to the stars and bring them home the moon!
How does the moon shine so bright in the night sky? It shines so bright because it reflects the glory of the sun. Think about it; the reason we can see the moon, the reason the light we see shining in our sky at night is there, is because it is reflecting the light from the sun. The sun that powers our solar system. The sun that gives life to every living creature on this planet. The moon reflects its glory and wonder and power.
You know, as Christians, we have no power or light in ourselves. Yet we have received grace and love from our God through his Son. The Bible tells us in many and wonderful ways that we are to reflect the glory and the love and the power of the One we serve out into the world. We are called to reflect the Son in this dark cold world so that the world may see God in us.
We look to the moon and we know its light and power come from the sun. Let people look to us and see the light and power of the Son in us so that they might come in wonder and love to the living God.
Your friend and Minister,
Terry.
