“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”
Isaiah 60:1-2 KJV
What a glorious vision Isaian prophesied for the Church to rise up in splendour and be radiant, for her light has dawned, and the glory of the Lord Jesus streams upon her! Even though darkness blankets the earth, and thick clouds cover the nations, but the Lord arises upon her and the brightness of His glory appears over her! Jesus is the Light that shines upon us, the Church, and the Light of the Church upon the nations. This is in preparation for the new heaven and a new earth and as John saw, the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a Bride adorned for her Husband! Who is the Bride but the radiant Church of the redeemed, Blood washed, cleansed and robed in Christ’s righteousness. Let’s not look at the gross darkness around us but be about fulfilling our God ordained purpose in this life and be prepared for our Lord’s coming for His radiant Bride, the Church. Amen!
