The Beauty of Christ

Our readings in this series are from the book, Revived! Here is a brief excerpt from pages 73, 74:

“The beauty of the Lord is the supreme manifestation of and template for all beauty. That beauty is seen most clearly in the face of our Lord Jesus Christ, as John saw it on Patmos, rich in glory and transforming power and grace. God calls His people to seek His beauty, that they may be transformed by it and live it in beautiful works and words before the dark and cynical world. But we must make meditating on the beauty of the Lord a high priority in our lives, listening as the Spirit brings together from throughout the Word of God, images and impressions of Jesus, exalted in glory. We must practice gazing on these images with the eye of the heart, to engage the power that is available there. The more we set our minds on Christ, and on the beauty of the unseen realm, the more that beauty will be evident in our daily lives, showing the hope we have in Jesus to an increasingly hope-starved world and pointing the world to the way out of its misery and morass”
