Revelation 22:16

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.

In her excellent work, The Names of God, Ann Spangler explains that what the Bible refers to as the morning star is actually the planet Venus. It is the second planet from the sun and burns as one of the hottest. It is often called the Earth’s sister planet. This star presents a powerful and beautiful image of Jesus.

In John 8:12, Jesus described himself as “the light of the world.” He came to provide the way to God and show us the way to God. No one can come to the Father except through Jesus. Those who follow Jesus never walk in darkness. They follow the Bright Morning Star. They have the light of life.

As we conclude this series on the names of God, I encourage you to follow Jesus, the Bright Morning Star. He’s the One you’ve been waiting for, longing for. He’s the One, the only One, who can give you what you have always been looking for. I am asking you to trust in Jesus. Use the following prayer as your guide.

Lord Jesus,

I acknowledge you as the Light of the World, the Bright Morning Star. I confess that I am a sinner. Try as I might, I can’t work my way to you. I know you came to pay for my sins on the cross. You did for me what I could not do for myself. I trust in you alone as the only way to have a relationship with God.

In your name, I pray. Amen.
