John,
A thought struck me just now as I was taking a walk outside during my lunch break. It’s a beautiful sunny day here in Greensboro, not too hot or humid. It’s one of those days when it feels so nice to sit under the sun’s rays. It almost feels like the sun’s rays have a rejuvenating power to them.
It made me recall how the new heavens and earth will be lit not by a new sun or moon but by God and Jesus emitting their own light. I couldn’t help but think that what we feel from the sun today on earth will pale in comparison to what we’ll feel from the light of our heavenly Father. If the sun can put a smile on my face, can you imagine what it will feel like to bask in the light of God! Whew! I was walking around the parking lot today speaking in tongues just thinking about it.
