GOSPEL NUGGET 112

The sun is a good illustration of the Son. 

Just as the sun is the light of this physical world, so is the Son the light of the world in a spiritual sense.

Just as the sun sets and rises again mightily early in the morning and rushes towards a full day at noon displaying its full glory, so the Son also died, was buried and rose mightily the third day and He will come again and display His full glory someday.

Just as the light of the sun is free for all but only those who bask under it experience its light so is the salvation of the Son free for all but only those who receive it by faith will experience salvation.
