"The wise will shine like the brightness up in the sky," Daniel 12:3.
So writes the prophet five and a half centuries before Jesus' birth. He had just written: Many who sleep in earth's dust shall awaken, some to eternal life (but others to everlasting shame). Resurrected to shine like the stars for ever! Then, centuries later, Jesus tells about the end of time when causes of sin and evildoers are purged out of the kingdom. In reference to Daniel he says: The righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. So says the Word: Awake, O sleeper! Come up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you!
We meet with a brother or sister today to tell each other about the shine to come after all this dust. And together we give thanks to God our Father who awakens his children in Christ.
