Without the sun, our planet would die. The sun is the center of our solar system and gives us light. Now the moon on the other hand, doesn’t have its own light. It merely reflects the light of the sun. In our time together today you could say that John the Baptist was like the moon and Jesus like the sun. Without the sun, the moon wouldn’t shine. John the Baptist knew this and redirects those amazed with his teaching to Jesus, the beginning of truth and wisdom.
