The Everlasting Son

UV 4142/10000 The Everlasting Son Your sun will no longer set, nor will your moon wane; For the Lord will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will be over. Isaiah 60 v 20 In the beginning the Lord had set the sun to rule over the day and the moon to rule over the night, implying to provide light for all creation. The word “rule” implies to be light providers, problem solvers, positive influencers in the world. We have accepted the Lamb of God, Jesus to be our everlasting Lamp, too. He is the One who lights up both our days and our nights. As long as we walk in His light, with His word as our lamp to guide our steps, we will not be in darkness. God is our glory, our splendour, our cause and source of radiance. The word promises that His glory and brilliance will be seen on us, in us. Unlike the sun that leaves us in the darkness by night, Jesus is consistent in His leadership, guidance, teaching, love towards us. Unlike the moon that is not consistent in reflecting the sun's light, we should be consistent in reflecting the Son's Light. In Egypt at the time of Moses, there was darkness in all the land but in the Israelites homes, there was light. Likewise, while there is darkness all round, deep darkness as human values tumble, leaders stumble, the ones led by Christ have seen a great Light that cannot be extinguished. The Lord promises to glorify His Name through us. He is our everlasting Light. The word is the fuel in our lamp. The wick of our lamp will burn brightly, not flicker, never die even as the wicked, the ungodly, those who do not fear or trust God perish. The moon has no light of its own. It wanes and waxes as the earth casts its shadow upon it. So also the world cannot cast its shadow of death or destruction or defeat upon us as we reflect the light of Jesus with and in our lives. The Shadow of Jesus, of the Almighty is the only shadow that produces everlasting glory, effulgence, brightness, hope, eternal life. We find our light, our warmth, our hope, our strength by continually dwelling in Him, covered by His presence, His radiance, His glory. Hence, no sorrow, no curse, no affliction can touch us, harm us permanently. His blood shed on the cross has become the gateway to flood our lives with joy and peace. The Holy Spirit, God in us, glorifies and radiates His grace in and through us.
