God’s work of creation ended in an endless morning: ”And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the MORNING were the sixth day” (Gen 1:31).
Thank God, we do not find an evening in the seventh day: “And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all the work which He had made” (Gen 2:2). Man’s work usually finishes in the evening, but God’s, in the BRIGHT MORNING which will be most glorious (when He appears for His glorious Church). It is therefore no wonder that, the meaning and mission of God’s first message, “Let there be light” (Gen 1:3), is to be accomplished only in HIS LAST MESSAGE, “Surely I come quickly” (Rev 22:20).
Jesus, ‘the True Light which lighteth every man’ has already come once to this darkened world to dispel the darkness of sin, but the second time the same Sun of righteousness shall arise for those who have been delivered from the power of darkness and become the children of light.
“Wherefore He saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee LIGHT” (Eph 5:14).
May the glorious light of the gospel keep shining in our hearts, changing us from glory to glory till we are completely lost in that great glorious Light - JESUS CHRIST! Amen.
