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.

The parable of the Prince and Slave

-
Image
There was a certain prince from a very powerful Kingdom that journeyed far into other kingdoms in search of a bride. Try as he might, he found no woman that pleased him. He came up with a clever and novel plan,  he pulled off his royal apparel and wore a  commoner’s clothing. He revisited some of the kingdoms he had been to and discovered that people treated him differently, those that danced at his coming did not even recognize him, he saw the world in a whole new light. One day while sitting close to a well,  the young prince was suddenly captivated by a young lady. This was a surprise to his servants, they never really saw anything special about this feeble, and gaunt – looking lady with wounded marks all over her body. Perhaps what drew the prince to her was compassion. A heavy weight of chain was worn around her neck as her slave masters dragged her helplessly on the ground. The prince just could not  bear to watch this inhumane and savagery  scene, he jumped up and ran tow

The Ladder and Clock

  Using the clock and ladder model, I'll explain what God has laid on my heart. The clock represents God's nature of love and righteousness, while the ladder symbolizes the law of Moses. We, as humans, are like three-year-olds. The law instructs us to pick up the ladder, place it against the wall, climb up, and reach the clock. However, for a three-year-old, this is impractical, leading to repeated falls in attempts to pick up the ladder. Similarly, when we try to obey the law, we often fall back into our sinful nature, as it's impossible for us to fully fulfill the law. In this analogy, the Holy Spirit plays the role of the father of the three-year-old child. The Holy Spirit, being tall enough, can take the clock from the wall, give it to the child, and teach them how to use it. The Holy Spirit instills new desires, encourages us to walk in love and righteousness, and helps us produce good fruits without the need to climb the ladder.
