Lamb of Light

The Lamb is the light thereof.
  Revelation 21:23
"Quietly contemplate the Lamb as the light of heaven.
Light in Scripture is the emblem of joy.
The joy of the saints in heaven is comprised in this:
Jesus chose us,
loved us,
bought us,
cleansed us,
robed us,
kept us,
glorified us:
we are here entirely through the Lord Jesus. 
In heaven our knowledge will be perfect,
but the Lord Jesus Himself will be the fountain of it.
Dark providences,
never understood before,
will then be clearly seen,
and all that puzzles us now will become plain to us in the light of the Lamb."
Charles Spurgeon
