SunBurst vs 2

Two months ago, i posted a song review on one of my favorite songs by Hillsong :SunBurst.
I had posted This three months ago and promised to do a review of verse  2.

This song as we had said talked about Gods love that pervades the entirety of our lives like a sunburst.
Like mountains mirror the sunrise Reflecting Your glory
Might we exhibit Your hope bright
Salvation in us.

Just as the mountains mirror the rays of the majestic sun in the same way we mirror the excelence of the exuberant love of God expended to us.

2nd Cor 4:  seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,”who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

The light shining is not a separate entity from the source for its God himself shining in us, Reflecting the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

God desires to display his glory even in the likeness of these lowly earthen vessels

Vs 7But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.

Its not about how earthen vessel like we are, but the exceeding greatness of who dwells in us. We are to mirror the one who exhibits this greatness. He does this motivated by love rather than intimidating us.

And now lets go back to the chorus
And like the rising sun
Wake up Your light in us
And we will shine like grace
As we call on Your Name
And when the day is done
This sound will carry on
Ti l the night folds over
In awe of our Saviour

May we light up in his glorious light this christmas.
Let the sound of victory be echoed in us

Why is the gospel the good news?

Because it is an announcement: if I had something good and keep it to myself, the good thing remains with me. The gospel is not the go...
