So I was driving home from work tonight, rather tired, and alone in the car with my thoughts. And I noticed outside, it was rather bright for 8pm. And then as I got further into the country, I saw the nearly full moon, low in the eastern sky, brightly illuminating the dark cornfields with the beautiful waves of moonlight. Actually I started to think and the words 'reversed sunbeams' came to my mind. Because that's what the moonbeams are, just reflected sunbeams.
The moon on its own power has no true light. It is not a light source, if the sun isn't shining on it, it is blacker than black and not visible. However if the sun shines on it, it reflects the light of the sun into the dark world. Which reminded of the beautiful imagery of Christ.
As Christ followers, we have no power source of our own, but gain our light from the SON, in turn reflecting his brilliant sunbeams off ourselves and into the world in beautiful glorious moonbeams that illuminate and pierce the darkness, and make way for the return of the SON.
That's my thought, we're all a bunch of moons :-)
