The moon will be abashed, the sun ashamed; for the Lord Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders, gloriously.
(Isaiah 24:23 (NIV))
When we think of something that shines, we always think of the best that it can be. Consider what is said when someone does extremely well at something. It is said that they really shine at that task or undertaking.
What do you think of that shines the brightest? If you are like most people, you probably answered the sun and then the moon. These two celestial bodies give us light by day and by night. We compare everything that we know of as good to these two bodies. However, they pale in comparison to the way that our Lord will shine when He reigns on this earth and in eternity.
The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
(Revelation 21:23(NIV))
What a glorious place we will be in! There will be no need for the sun or the moon, for the glory of the Lord will shine brighter than anything that is created. Who will get to see this glory? Only those who call upon the name of Jesus, God’s only Son, as their Lord and Savior.
Remember that the light of God looks beyond the outward appearances and sees the heart. What is in your heart? Will it keep you from seeing the glory of the Lord?
