Jesus Leads Us to Eternal Light

  • Summary

  • Jesus - the Light of the World - did not simply come to illumine our lives here but to lead us to His everlasting light! Revelation holds before us the hope of the new creation, our eternal abode where God’s presence, glory, and light (the lamp of the Lamb) alone beautify us and satisfy our every need. There may or may not be a literal sun and moon in the new cosmos; either way, the lamp of Christ is sufficient to make the saints resplendent. Moreover, the absence of night and darkness here emphasizes the fact that (1) nothing from the old world will be able to hinder God’s glorious presence from filling the new creation; and (2) God’s children will enjoy unhindered access to the full presence of Yahweh. God’s presence does not fully dwell in this creation because evil still resides here, and our access to God here is limited to faith, not actual sight. In the new creation, however, the age-long benediction of Numbers 6 reaches its fullest possible extent where God’s face forever and unhindered shines upon us.
