“I really enjoyed seeing the matter of the fourth day lights during this past college conference. Genesis 1:16 says, ‘And God made the two great light-bearers, the greater light-bearer to rule the day and the lesser light-bearer to rule the night, and the stars.’ I was impressed to see that the greater light-bearer, the sun, refers to Christ, who, as the Sun of righteousness, has healing in His wings (Mal 4:2). The lesser light-bearer, the moon, refers to the church (Gen 37:9, Eph 3). And just as the moon reflects the light of the sun, the church is a reflection of Christ (2 Cor 3:18). Finally, the stars are the other believers (Dan 12:3). In our Christian life, sometimes we experience periods of time when the sun seems to be gone and the moon is dim— this is when we have the stars shine in our experience, bringing light to us in the night. We can pray, ‘Lord, I don’t care what is going on in my life. I need some stronger light. I need the sun, the moon, and the stars!’ How we need all three lights in our Christian life for our growth in life!” — Christine R.
