An Unapproachable Light! Hebrews 1:1-4 ITimothy 6:11-21



The Sun in all its Brilliance is flawed and has spots on it, not that God made it imperfect, but that as a result of the Fall and the curse, the Sun has spots! Jesus is the radiance of God's Glory, The light of His presence is ever so Brilliant that He dwells in an unapproachable light! And in Him there is not spots! In Him there is no blemish! In Him there is no darkness at all! His Light is more glorious than the Sun, that we will no longer need the Light of the sun, but in the New Heaven and earth will bask in the light of His Presence Indeed! His Bride will indeed be presented to Him without Spot or wrinkle and will Share and dwell in His glorious brilliant Light of His Presence, Such a perpetual Light for all Eternity!

Revelation 22:4-6
4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
6 The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”

Hebrews 1:1-4
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.


1 Timothy 6: 11-21
11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you 14 to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. 17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. 20 Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, 21 which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith.  Grace be with you.

The sun is brilliant and bright, you cannot look into the sun directly with your naked eye, or you will go blind, and if you do, you will experience temporary blindness, and dark orange like spots in your vision.

However, the sun in all its brilliance is way inferior to God, by virtue of being created by God, and by virtue of  developing flaws overtime, such as sun spots, and by virtue of having limited brightness, impure light rays, destructive radiance of too much exposure to it light.

Jesus shines brighter than the sun, in Him there is no darkness at all! 1 John 1: 5-9 5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.


In Jesus there is no Spot or wrinkle, Just pure radiant light brighter than the sun. And He Promises to receive His Bride without Spot or wrinkle, His Bride the Church will indeed Shine in all His Glory!

1 Peter 1:17-19
17 If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.

Ephesians 5:26-28
26 so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. 28 So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;
