WE WANT to talk with you in this article about a very great Truth, one which very few on earth understand in its wonderful significance and reality. This Truth is that of Jesus Christ.

If we should say that perhaps only one in a million really knows just who and what is Jesus Christ, before we finish this talk you will comprehend what we mean.

Now let us again consider that wonderfully illuminating statement, “God is All in all.” How can God be All in all without His Life, His Consciousness, His Power, His Nature, being likewise in all? Then He, God, must be the “Light which lighteth every man
