JESUS THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR


Revelation 22:16
 “I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the Bright Morning Star.”

The Christmas story begins with the Wisemen following a star to find the baby Jesus and ends in Revelation where Jesus says, “I am the Bright Morning Star”

Have you ever experience days and days of gloomy weather? Have you ever longed for just one sunny day? Have you ever missed when the sky is full of bright stars shining in the night? 

Jesus tells us to focus on Him because He is our Bright Morning Star. He has the power to shine through the darkness. In Jesus Christ there is no darkness for the believer.

“If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You.” (Psalm 139:11-12)

“I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near; A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel.” (Numbers 24:17)

Today and all year long are you willing to keep your eyes focused on the Bright Morning Star as the Lord of your life?

Be encouraged. Today is a new day to begin with the hope and joy you have as a believer in Christ your Bright Morning Star.

Prayer:
Lord, our Bright Morning Star, I love You and long to see Your shining light.  In You there is no darkness. In You, I have hope and joy as You shine brighter than all other stars. In You, because You are the Bright Morning Star, every morning is a new day.  Shine Your light on my life and guide each step I take so my life will bring glory to You.
