Morning Star
By Peter Leithart
Every morning Venus lights up in the sky before the sun rises - a speck of light before the sun.
Jesus is the morning star (Revelation 22:16), who shines before the light of the Father is revealed. Jesus is the morning star that announces a day where there will be no night, a day with no Sun except for the Lord God (22:5).
So the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament His handiwork.
