What an amazing description of Christ and his light in today's Morning and Evening by Spurgeon!
Quietly contemplate the Lamb as the light of heaven.
Light in Scripture is the emblem of joy. The joy of the saints in heaven is comprised in this: Jesus chose us, loved us, bought us, cleansed us, robed us, kept us, glorified us: we are here entirely through the Lord Jesus.
Without light no radiance flashes from the sapphire, no peaceful ray proceedeth from the pearl; and thus all the beauty of the saints above comes from Jesus.
If he withdrew, they must die; if his glory were veiled, their glory must expire.
They were stained with sin, but one touch of his finger, and they are bright as the sun, and clear as crystal.
- Spurgeon on our transformation in heaven.
Whatever there may be of effulgent splendour, Jesus shall be the centre and soul of it all. Oh! to be present and to see him in his own light, the King of kings, and Lord of lords!
What a great reminder of what Christ has done for us and without Christ's work, there would be none of this! All of the glory we get to experience in heaven is due to Christ's sacrifice for us!
