Three Portraits Of Christ

Contributed by Roger Thomas on Feb 22, 2007

We don’t have any photographs of Jesus. That’s good and bad. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have any pictures. In fact, I would suggest that we have three portraits of Christ in the book of Revelations.

Contributed by Michael Goodfellow on Nov 11, 2006

Christ as the one who leads the way for believers, even in the most difficult times.

In our modern world, and especially as the 21st century is upon us we are still in many ways bothered by the notion that God sent his son to suffer and to die.

A Fresh Commitment To Christ
