The Holy City, New Jerusalem

About this book

Opening with John’s vision of the holy city in Revelation 21 and the believer’s coming to the heavenly Jerusalem, Austin-Sparks reads the New Jerusalem as a spiritual picture of Christ and His Church, formed for the full expression of Christ. Its imagery—gold, crystal, wall, precious stones, and the tree of life—points to God’s nature, love, grace, and divine life. The reader is called to move from symbols to spiritual reality and to know Christ’s life at work in the Church. First published in "A Witness and A Testimony" magazines, Nov-Dec 1966 (Volume 44-6) through May-June 1968 (Volume 46-3), from messages given at the Aeschi (Switzerland) Conference in September, 1966.
