No More Night Intro

Scriptures

Light is a major theme in John’s writings. It is symbol of God and life everlasting through Jesus Christ. As we’ve seen this morning in John 1:4-5, he says…

John 1:4–5 NASB95

4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Later in John’s gospel, Jesus says…

John 12:35–36 NASB95

35 So Jesus said to them, “For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. 36 “While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.” These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.

Then later in Revelation, we read these inspired words of John…

Revelation 21:1–2 NASB95

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

Revelation 21:23–27 NASB95

23 And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. 25 In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed; 26 and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it; 27 and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

The Light of life has dawned in Jesus Christ.

Let us walk in the Light and believe in the Light while we have the Light.

Then we have the assurance that our names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Then we know that we will live in that city with no more night.
