The Intervention of God in Christ

Theodore Austin-Sparks (1888–1971) was a British evangelist and author. Born in London, he became a Christian at seventeen while listening to street-preachers in Glasgow, and was ordained a Baptist minister at twenty-four. In 1926 he left the denomination and, with like-minded Christians, founded a conference and training centre at Honor Oak in south-east London. From there he published the free magazine "A Witness and A Testimony" until his death, and his conference ministry took him across Europe, North America and Asia. He asked that his messages be shared freely and word for word. Source: Wikipedia (summarized; CC BY-SA)

About this book

“The Intervention of God in Christ” traces God’s decisive entry into human history through His Son, beginning with Galatians 4:4 and the appointed “fulness of time.” Through the distinct emphases of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, it considers Christ as King, Servant, Saviour, and Son, and the relationships of God’s people to Him. It calls readers to receive God’s sovereignty, serve from a life saved by Christ, and enter the Father’s family.
