TEXT ONLY MIRROR BIBLE 2024 Edition - Francois Du Toit

Imagine God finding a word, worthy to hold his ultimate thought; his final, eternal, most intimate message to mankind. \n\n He frames this thought, not in an ancient language of men or angels, but in an earthen jar, Jesus, the incarnate Word, the one who gives express image to the invisible God in human person! \n\n In him dying humanity's death, he brings closure to every lie that we believed about ourselves, and in God co-quickening us in his resurrection, he powerfully introduces us to the redeemed life of our design. \n\n Now, with every definition of veil removed, we may behold him as in a mirror, and discover and celebrate our own completeness, endorsed in him! \n\n \n \n\n Jesus is God's language and message to mankind. \n\n He is the context of Scripture. \n\n To add anything to his completed work in revealing and redeeming the image of God in human form, \n\n or taking anything away from what God spoke to us in him, is to depart from the essence of the Gospel. \n\n There is no perfect translation; \n\n there is only a perfect Word: the Logos-logic of God. \n\n The Bible is all about Jesus. \n\n What makes the book irresistibly relevant, is the fact that \n\n Jesus is all about you. \n\n He mirrors the Incarnate word, face to face with the Father \n\n \n \n\n and now unveiled in you! \n\n This is the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations! \n\n \n \n\n It is Christ in you! \n\n God has found a face in you that portrays him \n\n \n \n\n more beautifully than the best theology. \n\n \n \n\n Your features, your touch, the cadence of your voice, \n\n \n \n\n the compassion in your gaze, the lines of your smile, \n\n \n \n\n the warmth of your person and presence unveil him. \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n
