THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

revealed the depth of spirituality, the power of

the God of life.

Although this is a description of the personal

appearance of Christ, it portrays His character

as well. Those who continue to reveal God in

the earth must, through the merits of Christ,

manifest the same character as living epistles

known and read of all men. The robe of His

righteousness must cover the human frailties

and imperfections; the truth of God must be

the rule of life; cleansed by the blood of Christ,

the sinner becomes as white as snow. As He

was made perfect through suffering, so the

church will be purified by the fires of

affliction; they will be brethren with John;

“companions in tribulation, and in the

kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ.”
