T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes that when the Church loses its purity and heavenly character, God's response is to reveal His Son anew, as seen in the Gospel of John. He argues that John's writings were not merely historical accounts but a divine response to the Church's decline, presenting Christ in His full glory and spiritual essence. The sermon highlights that true recovery and restoration come not from returning to old techniques or doctrines, but from a fresh revelation of Jesus Christ. Sparks insists that the essence of God's answer to the Church's state of declension is always found in the person of Christ, who embodies life, power, and glory. Ultimately, the focus must be on seeing Christ in His heavenly nature to regain the Church's original purpose and vitality.
