The sun is so far away, and yet provides light to our world. Of course, we know that Jesus is the true Light of the world.
"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12b)
The sun also keeps our planet in orbit. If the sun vanished tomorrow, our earth would no longer have an orbit and would just sort of float off into space. Jesus also ‘holds the whole world in His hands’, as the famous song says.
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Colossians 1:17)
The sun lights our world and keeps it in check. The Lord is the Light of the World and holds all things together. We are without hope and in darkness without either of these.
For in him we live and move and have our being. (Acts 17:28a)
