Introducing the Book
"The Glory of The Son" is the second book in a series released by Assembly Testimony Publications in Northern Ireland. The title selections for many of the books begin with the words "The Glory of". Whether it was in the early days of the church, or today, we are confronted with those who would seek to diminsh the glories that belong to the Son of God. The apostle John wrote in his gospel account,
"That all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him." (John 5:23, NKJV).
We are reminded by the Apostle Paul that one of the great purposes of the gifts given to the local church, is that through the use of them we will come to a fuller "knowledge of the Son of God". (Ephesians 4:13, NKJV) Let us engage our minds and hearts in a most worthwhile pursuit of a deeper appreciation of the glories that belong to our Lord Jesus Christ.
