Being Further Reconciled to God by the Application of the Cross to our Natural Life

Gal. 5:24 But they who are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and its lusts.

This week I am really impressed how much God desires to reconcile us with Himself; He became a man and died for us - the Righteous for the unrighteous, so that we may be fully reconciled to God. Christ died for our sins, putting all our sins on … [Continue reading]

Christ was made Sin for us so that We might Become the Righteousness of God in Him

In Adam we fell so low that we became sin. Not only were we sinful before God — we became sin itself. But now in Christ, having been brought thoroughly back to God, we may enjoy Christ to such an extent that in Him we become God’s righteousness. What a salvation! What a reconciliation! To have this enjoyment is to be on the peak of God’s salvation, to be on the peak of our holy Zion. Witness Lee

In 2 Cor. 5:19-20 Paul speaks of two steps of reconciliation; the first step is to reconcile sinners to God from sin (Christ died for our sins for us to be reconciled to God), and the second step is to reconcile believers living in the natural life … [Continue reading]

The Screen and the Veil are Related to the Two Aspects of Reconciliation in 2 Cor. 5

2 Cor. 5:19 Namely, that God in Christ was reconciling the world to Himself, not accounting their offenses to them, and has put in us the word of reconciliation.

We need the Ministry of Reconciliation until we are in God and He is in us Absolutely

Until we are wholly one with the Lord, being in Him and allowing Him to be in us absolutely, we shall continue to need the ministry of reconciliation, the ministry with which Paul was commissioned. Paul was commissioned with the work of bringing the believers into God in a way that was absolute and practical. Witness Lee

Not many believers realize that the veil and the screen (the two curtains in the tabernacle in Exodus) are related to the two aspects of reconciliation Paul speaks about in 2 Cor. 5:18-21. Our God is enterable: He has come through incarnation to … [Continue reading]

The Pillars for the Screen and the Veil are those one with Christ to bring People into God

The picture of the tabernacle in the Old Testament shows us that our God is enterable; He wants His people not merely to outwardly serve Him but enter into Him through the screen (the first veil, signifying Christ who died for us to bring us to God) … [Continue reading]

The Spiritual Application of the Veil and the Screen in the Tabernacle in Exo. 26

Exo. 26:33 And you shall hang up the veil under the clasps and bring in the Ark of the Testimony there within the veil; and the veil shall make a separation for you between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies.

This week in our time in the morning with the Lord we enjoy the topic of the Veil, the Screen, and the Two Aspects of Reconciliation, based on the portion in Exodus 26 speaking of the two entrances into the tabernacle and their spiritual … [Continue reading]

Allowing the Uniting Spirit to Cross us and Join us to other Believers in the Body

Everything that we do and say must be through the cross and by the Spirit to dispense Christ into others for the building up of the Body of Christ. Witness Lee

The oneness the Lord Jesus prayed for in John 17 is seen in picture in the tabernacle in Exo. 26 in three main steps: the three gold rings on the standing boards, the gold overlaying the boards, and the uniting bars that joined all the boards. The … [Continue reading]
