I. IT IS PECULIAR LIGHT. There is none like it. Its blaze is not earthly. Yet it is truly light for men. It is Divine, but it is also human. All created and all uncreated brilliance is concentrated in it. The Man Christ Jesus is there. God over all is there.

II. IT IS UNCHANGING LIGHT. He from whom it emanates is the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever. Here there is no rising nor setting; no clouding nor eclipsing.

III. IT IS FESTAL LIGHT. The feast is spread; the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready.

IV. IT IS ALL-PERVADING LIGHT. It is not confined to a few favoured dwellings; to one region of the city. The whole city shall be full of fight.

V. IT IS THE LIGHT OF LIFE. It is living light, fife-giving light; not dead and inert like that of our sun, and moon, and stars, but living; instinct with fife, and health, and immortality. It fills the whole man with life — body, soul, and spirit.

VI. IT IS THE LIGHT OF LOVE. For that name, "the Lamb," contains within it the revelation of the love of God. That lamp, which is the Lamb, then must be love; its light must be the light of redeeming love.

(H. Bonar, D. D.)
