Mind-altering

I haven't finished this book, because every time I pick it up I get about a page into it and the Holy Spirit stops me and I have to meditate on what I just read. As the title says, it's all about Christ, everything starts and finishes there.

The Centrality and Supremacy of the Lord Jesus Christ

Sparks brings us back to the meaning of it all: The Centrality of Jesus Christ. The true church must return back to Christ and leave behind all that is clouding his pure image. This volume is a must read. I believe Sparks' book, "The Centrality and Supremacy of Christ" is simple but profound. He discusses the person and work of Christ and speaks of how many Christians only have an "ill-defined" Christ. They received Christ, but have yet to "grow up into" him. They seek after 'good' things and seek to discover worldly ways of 'reviving' the church. All other pursuits will lead to endless frustration. It is only the pursuit of Christ, his person and his work, that will satsify. This is where New Testament Church restoration is found. This is how the revolution will begin: The church placing Christ in the center again! My favorite quote from this book reads... "...you and I will never be Christians, or servants of the Lord, in real spiritual life and effectiveness beyond the measure of our inward apprehension of the Lord Jesus." T. Austin Sparks
