’’The Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended." - Isaiah 60:20,
Indicated in the last verse of the preceding chapter, these glorious prospects are displayed before God’s spiritual Israel. They that reject Christ reject all the good fore spoken by the prophets, and the wrath of God abideth upon them. All things belong to them who belong to Christ. Christians are taught to contemplate not merely their own individual blessedness and perfection; but the unspeakable blessedness and unconceived glory of that condition upon which the whole Church of the living God shall, as the bride of the Lord Jesus, as the New Jerusalem come down from heaven, one day enter. They are now the light of the world; the Lord shall be their ever lasting light. There shall be no night there. And this marvellous condition of things is immediately to succeed just such a condition of things as that which now exists, when darkness covers the earth, and gross darkness the people.
The Lord shall he thine everlasting light. He who by faith embraces the Christ of the gospel, who kisses the Son in the day of his humiliation when his visage is marred more than any man’s, shall then be enraptured by the sun-eclipsing glory that shall burst from the countenance of Christ the King of kings. Lord of lords, his Christ, forever his, with all his glory his.
