I. THE PROMISE OF MESSIAH WAS THE MORNING STAR TO THE ANCIENT BELIEVER. When first introduced to the faith of the sinning pair in the garden of Eden, it became their "Morning Star"; all besides was dark! They had lost the favour of God.

II. THE ADVENT OF JESUS WAS THE MORNING STAR OF A MORE PERFECT ECONOMY.

III. CHRIST PREACHED, IS THE MORNING STAR OF ANY PEOPLE TO WHOM HE IS PROCLAIMED.

IV. CHRIST IS THE MORNING STAR TO ALL WHO BELIEVE ON HIM.

(H. Wilkes, D. D.)
