It has been said that “the energy of His nature is love; the purity of His nature is light.” There is no element which refuses corruption more than light—in itself absolutely pure—the light of God’s nature.
“Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.” Jn.13:23 (bosom, kolpon, “the closest place of union, and the most complete intimacy.”)
Every heartbeat of Christ, as John and you and I, are leaning, transferring every weight and pain on Him—every heartbeat was and is His love for you and I poured out without measure. (Eph. 3:19; Rom. 11:33; Eph. 2:7; Rom. 5:5).
John’s faith, our faith, is resting in His love for us. The only place where faith can rest is Love. (Jn. 3:16; 1 Jn. 4:8, 10,16-17-18 = Heb.4:1-10; Zeph. 3:17). So, let us all, not live in the refusal of His love FOR US. (Rom. 8:31-39).
Not only is it our salvation for sin and sins, but He is bringing us as sons and daughters (Rom. 8:15; Gal. 4:6-7), new made, to a glory unimagined, by the purity of the nature of His light, where you and I, in Him and by Him, and with Him, will outshine every sun and star (Col.1:27; 2 Cor. 4:16-17-18; Rom. 8:18 = Rev. 2:17.)
“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it: for the glory of God did light it up, and the Lamb is the light thereof.” Rev.21:23
He is writing these words from His heart, on our hearts—Rev.21:5 And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me Write, for these words are true and faithful.
