Heaven’s Light
The twelve gates were made of pearls—each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass. No temple could be seen in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. The nations of the earth will walk in its light, and the rulers of the world will come and bring their glory to it. Revelation 21:21-24

Heaven will not need the sun or the moon for the Lamb will be the light. That light will produce new understanding, illuminating our hearts and minds in a way we could never know on earth. It will warm our spirits as we walk freely in the presence of God. The streets of gold will pale in comparison with the beauty of the light. In our earthly state we see only a glimmer, and yet it is enough to change our lives completely! The light of the Lamb draws you to a heavenly Father. It reveals your need for something and Someone greater than yourself, just as it did when the light blinded Paul physically but opened his spiritual eyes to the truth. It is that light that illuminates God’s Word and gives you wisdom that comes from above. It is the light that calls you by name and tells you that you are precious to the Savior. No one can withstand the unbridled light of God, but in heaven we will bask in it. Praise God for the light that guides us, but worship him for the Lamb that is the light!
Prayers:
PRECIOUS LAMB, I can’t imagine what it will be like to see that light fully for the first time and bask in the light of your glory. Your light has changed my life, given me wisdom, and helped me find my way out of dark places. It has illuminated your Word and comforted me and taught me. What will it be like one day to walk in a city where the Lamb is the light!
Quotes:
I saw eternity the other night Like a great ring of pure and endless light.
Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
