The Testimony of Jesus

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lee, Witness, PUBLISHER: Living Stream Ministry, The local church, the church in each locality, is the testimony of Jesus today.

Therefore, we need to consider whether we truly bear the image of Jesus. If we show someone an unclear picture of a person, it will not be a proper testimony of him with his image and appearance. We may see something in the picture, but it will not be the person we claim to show. The church in our locality must bear the image, expression, appearance, and virtues of Christ.

Another of the pieces deals with the problem of the relation of natural beauty to works of art, particularly in the context of the similarities and differences apparent when natural history museums and art galleries are compared.
