Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Spirit and the Bride
In the apprehension of Jesus as Lord there are three stages, corresponding roughly to the knowledge of Christ gained by the apostles during His earthly ministry, to their realisation of the significance of the Passion, and to their experience of the Pentecostal life. These stages are, of course, logical rather than temporal. Many, no doubt, begin with a recognition of the power of the Spirit, whether in the life of prayer or the sacramental fellowship of the Christian community. Others, again, as in the Methodist revival of the eighteenth century, are, like Bunyan's Christian, assured of the forgive ness of sins at the foot of the Cross. But it is, perhaps, characteristic of the present age, with its remarkable appreciation of social problems and its yearnings for an ethical ideal and an inspiration of human brotherhood, to come and see in the spirit of the enthusiastic Peter or the guileless Nathanael whether this be indeed the Messiah.
