I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. — Revelation 22:16 KJV
I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star. — Revelation 22:16 NIV
Reflecting on this verse encourages believers to recognize and affirm Jesus’ authority and His central role in God’s redemptive history. It also invites Christians to embrace the hope and renewal found in Him, to live in unity and faithfulness as part of the broader church, and to be aware of the spiritual dimensions of their faith. It’s a call to start each day anew, with the hope and light that Christ, the bright morning star, brings into our lives.
My Prayer
Father, unite me with my brothers and sisters in the faith, that together, as Your church, we may reflect Your light in this world. May our collective testimony bring glory to Your name and draw others into Your loving embrace.
Thank You, Jesus, for being my hope, my guide, and my bright morning star. In Your precious name, I pray, Amen.
