The Sun Never Burns Out

A commonly heard scripture that God shed new “light” on lately in me…

Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

There are 2 kinds of light…
1. Is the genuine.
2. Is articficial.

The sun is a genuine light.
No matter what, the sun is shining.
Regardless of the clouds.
Regardless of the time of day.
The sun is always shining.

A lamp isn’t a genuine light.
It can be turned off.
The bulb can burn out.
The power can go off and cause the lamp to lose it’s power source.

We are called to be the sun.
No matter what the occasion, we are called to shine our light to the world.

Regardless of the clouds that come our way.
Regardless of the time of day.

We are called to take our light wherever we go.
To church.
To work.
To activities.
To the community we live in.
To our home.

The people with the genuine light may be affected by the clouds, but they won’t be extinguished.
The people with the genuine light will never burn out.
The people with the genuine light will be used to grow others and light a darkened world.
The people with the genuine light will inherent eternal life.

Is your light genuine?
