Matthew Henry Commentary
1:12-20 The churches receive their light from Christ and the gospel, and
hold it forth to others. They are golden candlesticks; they should be
precious and pure; not only the ministers, but the members of the churches;
their light should so shine before men, as to engage others to give glory
to God. And the apostle saw as though of the Lord Jesus Christ appeared
in the midst of the golden candlesticks. He is with his churches always,
to the end of the world, filling them with light, and life, and love. He was
clothed with a robe down to the feet, perhaps representing his righteousness
and priesthood, as Mediator. This vest was girt with a golden girdle, which
may denote how precious are his love and affection for his people. His
head and hairs white like wool and as snow, may signify his majesty, purity,
and eternity. His eyes as a flame of fire, may represent his knowledge of
the secrets of all hearts, and of the most distant events. His feet like fine
brass burning in a furnace, may denote the firmness of his appointments,
and the excellence of his proceedings. His voice as the sound of many
waters, may represent the power of his word, to remove or to destroy.
The seven stars were emblems of the ministers of the seven churches
to which the apostle was ordered to write, and whom Christ upheld and
directed. The sword represented his justice, and his word, piercing to
the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, Heb 4:12. His countenance
was like the sun, when it shines clearly and powerfully; its strength too
bright and dazzling for mortal eyes to behold. The apostle was
overpowered with the greatness of the lustre and glory in which
Christ appeared. We may well be contented to walk by faith, while
here upon earth. The Lord Jesus spake words of comfort; Fear not.
Words of instruction; telling who thus appeared. And his Divine nature;
the First and the Last. His former sufferings; I was dead: the very same
whom his disciples saw upon the cross. His resurrection and life; I
have conquered death, and am partaker of endless life. His office and
authority; sovereign dominion in and over the invisible world, as the Judge
of all, from whose sentence there is no appeal. Let us listen to the
voice of Christ, and receive the tokens of his love, for what can he
withhold from those for whose sins he has died? May we then obey
his word, and give up ourselves wholly to him who directs all things aright.
