Written by Alan Redpath (1907-1989), a British evangelist, pastor and author.

I have had a clear view of Jesus. I have seen Him, felt Him, and I have known Him in a far deeper way than simply by the outward physical appearance; I have felt the reality of His life begin to burn in my heart. I have seen in Christ the glory of a life that is totally submitted to the sovereignty of God. That glory has begun to take hold of me, and I have begun to see that this is the one life that God expects of any man He made in His own image. I have seen the marks of the cross upon Him, and by His grace, the marks of the cross have been put upon me and I am no longer my own; I am bought with a price, redeemed by His precious blood. Yes, I have seen Him—not in the outward physical sense only, but in the inward sense of a deep spiritual reality. I have had a clear view of Jesus and my life will never be the same again. We all…the weakest, the poorest, the most sinful, the most defiled. The spiritual aristocracy of the church of Jesus Christ…the sinner saved by grace. It is the soul who has come like the publican of old and said, “God be merciful to me a sinner” and it is the soul bowed before Calvary and seeing (as Paul saw) the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
