      Aug 19, 2019

      The Gospel spread like wildfire in the early church. For example, a single speech from Peter converted 3000 people (Acts 2:41), and after he gave a second speech, the number of believers totalled 5000 (Acts 4:4). In only a few decades, the Good News

      CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION

      Philip, the Lord’s disciple, said, Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us. Jesus answered, Don’t you know Me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father (John 14:9 NIV). All that the Father is finds perfect expression in the Lord Jesus Christ. We are consciously, deliberately and habitually to contemplate Him. He is to be always before our face until His characteristics become ours. How is it that we view our Lord so infrequently, meditate on Him so meagrely? The vision is not focused. We are not properly preoccupied with the beauty of Christ.

      O fix our earnest gaze,

      So wholly Lord on Thee,

      That with Thy beauty occupied,

      We elsewhere none may see.

      I enjoyed a thought that was expressed a few years ago. The writer linked together three scriptures. The heavens declare the glory of God (Psalm 19:1). The Lord shone forth from Mount Paran and The glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle (Exodus 40:34). In the temple of Solomon, everything saith, Glory (Psalm 29:9). But, he went on, there was a manifestation of the divine glory which was both unique and complete, when the Son came down. John, who saw it, put it so simply and reverently, it was the glory of the only begotten from the Father.

      Not, of course, that the disciples saw the glories which radiated from Him in the excellency of the Father’s presence. These He laid aside in His self-emptying (Philippians 2:7; John 17:5). But there were other glories of deity seen by them. They are said to have witnessed the first manifestation of His glory at Cana where the simple wedding guest did to water what only almighty God could do. Six other similar manifestations impressed John
