After a few days of cloudy skies, freezing temperatures, and snowstorms, it is nice to see blue skies and a blazing sun. In addition to providing light and warmth, the sun’s ultraviolet rays are converted by our body into vitamin D affecting our muscles, nerves, and, therefore, our life. Several food products as tuna and mackerel, contain vitamin D, but the best source exists because of the sun.
Genesis 1:14 tells us that on the fourth day, God created the sun, which He declared “good.” Health advocates have shared that we must protect ourselves from too much exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays as it can lead to accelerated aging or some skin cancers. It seems extraordinary that the item God made good could cause us harm. Still, Paul warns about taking everything in moderation in 1 Corinthians 6:19 when he says, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honour God with your bodies”. The sun is good, but we must not be exposed to it all the item.
Driving into town, I can see neighbours who require another Son, the one who is at the source of life itself. Jesus spoke about this in John 10:10b when He said: “I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” There is no need to protect our neighbours from exposure to this Son; the more we bring them to this light, the better it will be for their lives.
What prevents us from sharing Jesus? Pray to ask the Holy Spirit to prepare you and your neighbour for a conversation about Jesus. Introduce someone to the Son.
