Read Daniel 12 Final word about the End Times

Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. (Daniel 12:3 NKJV)

Every year, different organizations will give awards to their respective star performers. The true star that shines is not those from Hollywood or any organisations as these are temporal. Here are the wise who shine through eternality.

Who are the wise? Those who know Christ, and Him crucified. They have believed and trusted for salvation and everlasting life. When they passed on, they shall shine, both in body and soul. Their bodies shall be fashioned like to the glorious body of Christ (1Corinthians 15:42-50). Their souls shall be filled with perfect light and knowledge, completely holy, without any sin upon them. This light and glory are like the brightness of the heavens when the sun is risen even the sun itself. Jesus affirms it, Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! (Matthew 13:43).

Christ is called the Bright and Morning Star. (Revelation 22:16) Thus in Christ we also shine as stars. The shining forth speaks of the capacity to enjoy and delight in eternality. Different glory, award, shining, is our capacity to enjoy the life eternal.

They are those who are committed to saving souls. Witnessing and instructing those to path of righteousness makes others wise as well. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise. (Proverbs 11: 30)

They will be eternally shinning and what struggles and pressure or persecution can ever therefore to compare to the glory which comes forth from us.

Prayer: Lord what an insight You showed me of the glory of being eternal star that shine. We see no suffering here can compare to the glory of what is to come for us.
