The Moon Christian

Recently we had the moon appear as the Super Moon, A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth. I copy and pasted the last sentence :-).




The brightness of the moon actually woke me up out of sleep one night. I went out to the back porch and tried take a picture of it , but I could not capture the beauty and boldness of the moon that night.  And then God started to speak to my heart and mind.  In my preaching ministry, whether it was in class or in a sermon I remembered the phrase "Moon Christian"  For if we study the moon, we realize it does not produce any light but it reflects the Sun's light !!  And what a great natural lesson for us as believers of Christ. We need to reflect the Son's light,  the (S-O-N light)  In Matthew 5:16, Jesus said Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.  And yet, the source of our light needs to be from the S-O-N light.





It's a great lesson, the Moon shines on the world and our light our needs to shine to the world.  The moon cannot produce light but it reflects light, we cannot produce the light but we as Christians need to reflect His light, especially to  a dark world.

John 8:12

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 

Are you reflecting the SON's light ?? or are you only reflecting your own.  In order for you to be that servant of the Lord, you have to reflect the Light of Christ on this lost / dark world.

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; phil 2:15

The song goes like this " Oh ye Christian soldiers as you march along, Be a light for Jesus, be a light, be a light for Jesus everyday, be a light, be a bright shining light, be a light for Jesus everyday"  :-)

But before you can shine, you need to be "quicken" made alive, and my friend you can do that by calling on the Lord, and this is done when you pray.  For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved Romans 10:13



God Bless you Friend, have a great day, just a great day.
