"I am the light of the world follows me will never walk in darkness,
but have the light of life." John 8:12
I think one of the most fascinating and beautiful examples of the magnificence of Creation is the starry sky on a clear night.
billions of stars twinkling in the sky and the stillness of the night I have to think about the greatness of
He who by the power of His Word created all these things.
And I feel dwarfed by the infinite, for a moment I realize that we are but an insignificant particle lost in the vastness of space.
However, in this remote corner of the universe, the sad love and wayward creatures that inhabit it, God carried out the most complete and perfect work of redemption by sending Jesus to be born here in the suburbs of the galaxy.
All this perfectly created and sustained by his powerful word contains vast mystery to our limited and finite mind. For more than science to strive to find the answers, there's always something hidden that we can not fathom.
Suspended in the blackness of space, the planets move in their orbits around the Sun, some very close, embraced by her warmth, others far away, turned into ice and lifeless places.
Mercury, for example, the planet closest to the Sun tour is almost impossible to observe as virtually immersed in the solar corona. If I pointed a telescope at it, the sun's glare would blind us.
All the planets are subject to irrevocable laws which can not break, the orbit in which they find can not be changed, for periods approaching a little closer to the sun, then away, but in a constant and unchanging ellipse .
Similarly, while we are separated from God, the law of sin prevents us from recognizing our source of light and life that is Christ. We can not break the law by our willpower. Only the law of the Spirit able to deliver.
Once free from the law of sin, and taken to his Kingdom, we are not slaves but free to decide whether to live closer to the flame. O away from heat, cold and dead. It is our decision.
None of the planets shines but it reflects it receives from the sun. The Lord, our King, is there always, longing to have fellowship with Him, we approach and do not we run away, living an empty life, cold and without power. Want
"revolve with" as close to the confuse us with his glory, so we no longer look to us but to Him, and reflecting we are light in the world.
should want to be like the full moon, just a bunch of rocks floating in space that itself has no splendor or beauty, but is able to reflect enough light to show the way, even in the darkest night.
