“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.” Isaiah 60:1. (AG 125.1) MC VC

To His faithful followers Christ has been a daily companion, a familiar friend. They have lived in close, constant communion with God. Upon them the glory of the Lord has risen. In them the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ has been reflected. Now they rejoice in the undimmed rays of the brightness and glory of the King in His majesty. They are prepared for the communion of heaven; for they have heaven in their hearts. (AG 358.3) MC VC
