In Psalm 118 we see how Christ as the stone which the builders have rejected has become the head of the corner, even the chief cornerstone (Psa. 118:22). The thanksgiving of God’s elect for God’s goodness and the everlasting lovingkindness are both leading to Christ as the cornerstone for God’s building. The cornerstone is the […]
seeing the importance of Christ as the stone in many aspects for God’s building
This week we come to a very solid and high topic in the Psalms and in the whole Bible – Christ as the Cornerstone for God’s building (see Psalm 118). Many believers praise Christ as the Lamb of God, being filled with appreciation for what Christ has done for us on the cross for our […]
the basis, motive, meaning, purpose, and result of our consecration to God
We can cooperate with Christ in His heavenly ministry today – in the day of His warfare – by having an absolute and thorough consecration to the Lord. Actually, “the fullness of one’s experience of life depends on the fullness of one’s experience of consecration” (W. Lee, Experience of Life). What is consecration? What is […]
today the church is the depository and the storehouse of the power of resurrection
Ephesians 1:22-23 says, “And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.” It is so easy to take these verses for granted, but if we are enlightened by the Lord […]
living by the resurrection life to be in the reality of the Body of Christ
Paul’s aspiration and prayer in Phil. 3:10 was that he would know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death. We need to ask ourselves, How much do we live, serve, and do things in the resurrection life? We may have a good coordination with […]
the Spirit honors only what we do in, by, and through the resurrection life
We need to learn to turn to our spirit and first contact the Lord, be one with Him, and then do anything or say anything. Anything that is natural coming out of ourselves belongs to the old creation and is not pleasing in God’s sight. King Saul wanted to offer to God the best of the Amalekites sheep and cattle, which God ordered to be fully destroyed, but God did not receive it but rather Saul lost his kingship because of this. God was not happy with the product of Cain’s sweat, the fruit of his human labor, no matter how good they were. What God desires is something in resurrection – He wants Christ to be lived out in us, the Christ who passed through death and is now in resurrection! [read more online]
touching the hem of the garments of the resurrected Christ in our experience
The reality of resurrection is in the spirit – whenever we are in our mingled spirit and one spirit with the Lord, we touch resurrection with its freedom from all manner of limitation! In our spirit experiencing the resurrection life we conquer everything! This is why the Body of Christ as a reproduction of the resurrected Christ is INVINCIBLE – the Body of Christ is unconquerable and undefeated! Death will attack and may seem to prevail – but wait for the third day, the day of resurrection! Resurrection prevails! Resurrection has the last word! [read more online]
