The Sun and Trees

 There is a reason why the Sun is at the centre of the Solar System. Its mass is big enough to generate the gravity that holds the solar system together. The Sun is the only STAR in our solar system. Everything, including planets, clouds, dust particles, and asteroids are held together by the Sun. Life on planet Earth will not be possible without the energy from the sun which is converted by plants into chemical energy and distributed to other parts of the food chain including microbes, animals, and even humans. 

It is not surprising that the Bible called Jesus Christ the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (Mal 4:2) and also the BRIGHT MORNING STAR (Rev 22:16). Jesus should be the only STAR in our lives just as the Sun is the only Star in the Solar System. Jesus should be at the Center of our lives, and everything else must revolve around Him. Just like the Sun, He is massive enough to hold everything in our lives in place. He generates the energy that enables us to have eternal life and walk in righteousness completely just as the Sun gives Solar energy to the Earth. 

THE PRODUCERS 

PLANTS and other plant-like unicellular organisms are regarded as producers in the food chain. They are unique because they have a certain green pigment called CHLOROPHYLL which can act as an antenna that receives solar energy and transfers free electrons in a series of redox reactions to form chemical energy stores. Simply put, plants and green algae can convert solar energy into chemical energy. 

The Bible calls believers of Jesus Christ TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (Isaiah 61:3b). They have the green pigment (FAITH) that can receive energy from the Sun (Jesus) and convert it to Chemical energy (Love) and transfer it to the other parts of the food chain (The World). Believers are the producers or exhibitors of love and righteousness to the world. 

So we have the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS and TRESS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS as Jesus and Believers respectively.
