Thank You, SUN of RIGHTEOUSNESS!
“But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings;”
Charles Spurgeon wrote these word in 1871 about the Sun of Righteousness: “Jesus, like the sun, is the center and soul of all things, the fullness of all good, the lamp that lights us, the fire that warms us, the magnet that guides and controls us; he is the source and fountain of all life, beauty, fruitfulness, and strength; he is the fosterer of tender herbs of penitence, the quickener of the vital sap of grace, the ripener of fruits of holiness, and the life of everything that grows within the garden of the Lord. Whereas to adore the sun would be idolatry; it were treason not to worship ardently the divine Sun of Righteousness.”* Does that add to your understanding of why Jesus is referred to as the Sun of Righteousness? With which of the descriptions do you most relate to Jesus as the Sun of Righteousness?
We praise You, SUN of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and look to You to enlighten, control, quicken, grow, and ripen us to holy surrender and fruitfulness.
