[Jesus] had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength (Rev. 1:16, NKJV).
Craig Larson writes about the newest discovery from astrophysicists–the brightest star ever found in the universe:
In July 2010, Paul Crowther, professor of astrophysics from the University of Sheffield's Department of Physics and Astronomy, announced that he and his research team had discovered a star they described as the brightest star ever found in the universe. Not even a welder's helmet would help you face the light from this giant. The mass of the star is roughly 265 times that of our sun. But that's nothing. The brightness of this star is some 10 million times greater than the light coming from our sun!
Can you imagine a star that bright? Yet, the brightest star imaginable pales in comparison with the glory that Jesus possesses. He is the brightest Star in the firmament. John beheld a small portion of His glory and that was enough to overwhelm him and cause him to fear for his life. Do you acknowledge His glory? You should. One day we will behold Him in all of His glory (1 Pet. 4.13). We will glory in His glory!
