Sermon Sunshine Christians
The symbol used here to set forth the greatness and power of the Christian life, is the sun. No created object displays more strikingly the amazing power and goodness of God.
Warmth
The sun is on fire from center to circumference
What that inner fire is to the son, Christ enthroned is to them who love God
It is a divinely kindled fire - true religion in more than a creed
Illumination
Children of light, openness, honesty, etc
Knowledge is light
Christians the light of the world
Cheerfulness
All of its daily round of doing and giving, its rising, warming, climbing toward the zenith and setting - all is done with a smile on its face. So every Christian should cultivate the cheerful spirit and kindly tone.
Benevolence
Unsolicited, spontaneous doing and giving
No personal appear or pressure needed to secure its benefactions
Impartiality
The sun has no pet places to be looked after
Everything that needs it has an equal claim
Shines on the weeds as well as on the fruit in orchards
Progress
Steady
Continuous
Culminating
Triumph
Nothing more powerful than the sun
The Christian shall triumph over every foe
A Golden setting and a glorious rising
Nothing more beautiful so with regard to the death and resurrection of the Christian
