The Establishment of the Testimony by Resurrection

The message of the series of talks by T. Austin-Sparks that make up this issue of “The Golden Candlestick”, seems to be timeless and therefore it doesn’t really matter that the date and venue are unknown. It does not refer to a specific situation or burden that the brothers and sisters were facing at the time that these talks were given. It is taken from Paul’s letter to the Romans and relates to the question how a worthy representation of the coming Kingdom of God, “the testimony of Jesus”, can be maintained in the days in which the community of God’s children lives. The answer lies in the resurrection of their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Brother Sparks explains what that implies practically and wants to help believers to understand their course of life, in which crises play an important role.

Since January 2020 “The Golden Candlestick” is no longer published in printed form, only as pdf, Epub or read-online-version. To some this may feel as a loss, but it also gives more opportunity to interact, or in other words, to have fellowship. Therefore we consider to change the character of the “About …” page. Up till now it was meant to be an editorial, as it has been the custom of the publishers of The Golden Candlestick brochure, to summarize the main points of the message and say a word of encouragement. How we can make this interaction work best is something we are praying about. Of course it is possible to be in correspondence via e-mail, but we may consider a forum type platform as well. Comments will always be appreciated, if they are made in an open, humble spirit and if they are edifying. In the dark age in which we live, Christians need one another dearly, to encourage oneanother, to follow our Lord Jesus faithfully and to keep close to the Word of God.
