Sunday, 20th August - Talk: Light of our lives
The new Jerusalem needs no sun or moon to shine on it
The glory of God shines on it and the Lamb is its lamp
Ancient people worshiped the sun for its life-giving light and warmth
The moon was seen as a lesser god, creating seasons and rhythms
Cities produced their own light with oil lamps in John's day
But today's light pollution would astonish ancients
John knows the importance of light
But the true light is God's spiritual light - the glory of God
This has been seen in Jesus, the Lamb on the cross
If we learn one thing from John, it is to worship the living God
The theme of light, referring to the passage just read about how the New
Jerusalem needs no sun or moon because God is its light. Ancient people
worshiped the sun and moon but that John sees the true light as the
spiritual light of God's glory, revealed in Jesus Christ. The main
message from John is to worship the living God, not lesser things.
