Divine Order - In Christ

About this book

Austin-Sparks presents Christ as the centre and embodiment of God’s heavenly order, tracing how sin disrupts that order and brings confusion, division, and suffering. Opening with the inexhaustible greatness of Christ, he turns to the Cross—drawing on passages in John, Matthew, and Romans—and its work against sin and disunity. The reader is called to know Christ, recover God’s order through truth, and stand with the Church on the ground of faith. This book is based on messages given at an Easter conference in 1959 and is not a transcript. The first five chapters were originally published as a series of messages in A Witness and A Testimony magazines in 1968-1969, volumes 46-3 through 47-1. In 2009 we received the text of the remaining messages from the same conference, chapters 6-9. While we have the audio messages of some of these chapters, we do not have the audio of chapters 2 & 5.
