THANK GOD ITS FRIDAY! Jesus: The Bright and Morning Star The Morning Star is the brightest of all stars. Therefore, the metaphor sets Jesus in the fore front of glory. Other stars seem insignificant compared with the morning star, and so it is with other teachers when compared with Jesus. In other words His place is the supreme light of the world... He is likened to a star because the glow of the eternal Sun is thrown upon Him. As the star or planet has thrown upon it the light of the sun, so all the rays of the Godhead were shed upon the person of the Savior. He was the brightness of his Fathers glory, and express image of his person (Heb. 1:3). Yet, in a very real sense, Jesus is compared to a morning star. The function and the glory of the morning star is to proclaim the dawn or the new day. When the morning star rises the new day is not far behind... let us remember that a star is something which any man who can look up can see, and whose light and guidance any man can enjoy. Therefore, let us walk in the light of the Bright and Morning Star, look to it at all times, to be guided to the realm of eternal joy and Peace. _______________ By Bruce D. James.
