Revelation 22:3-4 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:… "His face"! That can never be produced upon canvas; that is the medium of Divine revelation; that is the type of perfect humanity. I. HEAVEN POSSESSES ONE SPECIAL ATTRACTION — the face of Jesus. 1.
