The Lord Jesus as the first God-man is our pattern and our model, becoming a mold in which we as the many God-men are being put to be conformed to His image. In His being, Christ was a man filled with God, a mingling of divinity with humanity. In His work, Christ didn’t do anything […]
Christ Constantly Denied Himself: He Lived the Father and Worked with the Father

Our one God has only one work, and His work is to dispense Himself into man, to work Himself into man, so that man may become His collective expression, His corporate testimony.
