Reflecting Christ audio book

Reflecting Christ. A mirror turned away from the sun cannot reflect its rays. And a human being turned away from God's Son cannot reflect His love to others.
As Christians, our responsibility is to share with others what God has shown to us. Ellen G. White had much to say about this responsibility-and the transforming effect of beholding Christ. This complete change of heart affects not only the spiritual life but also the physical, mental, and social.
"When you remember that Christ has paid the price of His own blood for your redemption and for the redemption of others, you will be moved to catch the bright rays of His righteousness, that you may shed them upon the pathway of those around you."
