LIGHT

LIGHT

“The city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it”. No natural light is required, “for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof”. Where the church has signally failed during her wilderness journey, even in being the lampstand here, she will be pre-eminently distinguished by and by, for Christ will be the lamp in the midst of her; and now according as the heart is in communion with Christ, grace of the same kind and order is imparted. The heart is satisfied with Christ. He is the lamp of it; the saint can enjoy the sufficiency of Christ, even while there is corporately no lampstand for Him on earth.
