2 Thessalonians 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in him… It has often been said that the Christian virtues are only impressions of the image of Christ; and that is true and good; but these impressions must find expression in everyday life. We are called of God to make manifest the character of "Him that loved us." Once, in a large company of Christian men, the most lively regret was expressed that there is no authentic portrait of Jesus Christ as he lived and walked upon this earth. How gladly, it was said, would Christians often look on the features of that face! But one of God's aged pilgrims stood up and said, "I cannot deplore that at all, because a true Christian is the true likeness of Christ." (Pastor Funcke.).
