14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. 17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
So... On the fourth day... God made the sun and the moon…
Some correlations,
… Jesus is the Light of the world (John 8:12)...
… He said we are also to be lights (Matthew 5:14)...
… I like to think of Jesus as a picture of the greater light—the source… Then .... We being pictured by the lesser light—the moon— We then reflecting His light to our dark world… (“Be the moon reflect the sun”)... Quite the correlation of truth.
… Consider an Eclipse... To whatever degree we allow the world to come between us and the Son... His light in our lives will fade...
… If you were to chart your own life tonight, would you be a full moon, a three-quarter moon, half moon, quarter moon, or eclipsed moon ???...
… It all depends on how much of the world you allow to creep in between you and the Son…
