Eternal Light
The [New Jerusalem] had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. Revelation 21:23
On the fourth day of Creation, God created the sun, the moon, and the stars. But when the New Jerusalem will become the abode of the saved, there will be no need for the sun or moon to provide light to the city. Indeed, there will be no night at all (Revelation 21:25).

Isaiah 60:19-20
In John’s vision of the eternal city in Revelation 21:22-26, he describes light in the New Jerusalem. Supposedly, the sun and moon will still exist in the heavens, but as for light in the New Jerusalem, there will be a different source: the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. The glory of God will illuminate the entire city with Jesus Christ Himself being the source of the glory and light. He who declared Himself to be “the light of the world” (John 8:12; 9:5) will fill the eternal city with His light forever. We who dwell there will reflect His glory and light for all eternity.
Let His light and life shine through you today as you anticipate reflecting His light for eternity.
I am walking toward a bright light and the nearer I get the brighter it is. Dwight L. Moody
