Answer

The morning star in the scriptures represents Jesus, himself. To those who are doers of the Word, the Lord of glory will give to them Himself as a possession and as a reward.

If this was the promise under the old covenant to the priests, which is but a shadow of things to come, what greater fulfilment shall we see under the new covenant as we have the privilege of receiving the Lord of life Himself as our portion and our inheritance. To know Him is the most valuable experience in life.

27. Question: Therefore, if we seek to be a friend of the world, what are we?

(James 4:4)

(From parts of Isaiah 40)

"To whom will you liken God? It is He who sits above the vault of the earth; He is who reduces rulers to nothing. To whom will you liken me that I should be his equal, says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high and see who has created these stars. The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name.

Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, not one of them is missing. Say to the cities of Judah, "Here is your God!" Like a shepherd He will tend His flock, in His arm He will gather the lambs, and carry them in His bosom; He will gently lead the nursing ewes".

James 2:26 "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."  [End of Quote]
