The key for us to experience the humanity of Jesus for God’s building, that is, the secret for us to be Jesusly human for God to gain a corporate expression, is for us to experience the Spirit of Jesus. What God is after in this universe is a building, a corporate expression in humanity, and […]
We need to Experience the Spirit of Jesus to have the Humanity of Jesus for God’s building
Being Trained by the Lord Jesus to be Jesusly Human living a Divinely Human Life
![[The Lord's] training was to help the disciples realize that they were mingled with the Triune God, that they were no longer merely human but divinely human, even “Jesusly human.” They were no longer separate from the Triune God, but they could now live a life in which they were one with the processed Triune God. They were no longer merely men but God-men, divine men, with the Triune God as their intrinsic essence to become their divine being. Witness Lee, God's New Testament Economy, p. 184](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/The-Lords-training-was-to-help-the-disciples-realize-that-they-were-mingled-with-the-Triune-God2.jpg?fit=199%2C300&ssl=1)
Because the humanity of Jesus is the only material qualified to be in the building of God, we need to be Jesusly human, that is, the most human of people, those who are under the Lord’s training to let Jesus live in them. The Lord’s death on the cross terminated our old man, crucifying it […]
Ezekiel is a Book full of Humanity, showing how much God desires to have a Man!
![Ezek. 1:26, 28 And above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, like the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the throne was One in appearance like a man, above it....Like the appearance of the rainbow that is in the cloud on a day of rain, such was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah...](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Ezek.-1-26-28-And-above-the-expanse-that-was-over-their-heads-was-the-likeness-of-a-throne.jpg?fit=200%2C300&ssl=1)
The expression “son of man” is mentioned more than ninety times in Ezekiel, and the main material of God’s building seen by Ezekiel was wood; this week we want to see more concerning the son of man and the humanity of Jesus for God’s building. We have previously seen the matter of the Man on […]
Learning to be Human Christians Living in a Jesusly Human Way by the Divine Life
![2 Cor. 4:11 For we who are alive are always being delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/2-Cor.-4-11-For-we-who-are-alive-are-always-being-delivered-unto-death-for-Jesus%E2%80%99-sake2.jpg?fit=300%2C300&ssl=1)
The fact that the four living creatures in Ezek. 1 have the hands of a man under the wings of an eagle shows that we need to work and do things like a man, in a human way; Christian humanity refers not to our natural virtues but to Christ living in us as we live […]
Enjoying the Grace of God and Cooperating with God in a Human Way to Live like a Man
![1 Pet. 5:5-6 In like manner, younger men, be subject to elders; and all of you gird yourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Therefore be humbled under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you in due time.](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1-Pet.-5-5-6-In-like-manner-younger-men-be-subject-to-elders.jpg?fit=200%2C300&ssl=1)
The four living creatures in Ezekiel 1 had the appearance of a man, the body of an eagle, the wings of an eagle, and under the wings they had the hands of a man; as normal Christians we should do things exactly like a man, in a human way, cooperating with God, having God mingled […]
Being Proper Human Beings – being Jesusly Human – who live out the Humanity of Jesus
![We need to be human not by our natural humanity but by the humanity of Jesus; this is to be “Jesusly human.” In the Epistles we are taught by the apostles to be proper human beings, in particular how to be proper husbands, wives, and parents (Eph. 5:22—6:9; Col. 3:18—4:1). Crystallization-Study of Ezekiel, outline 3](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/We-need-to-be-human-not-by-our-natural-humanity-but-by-the-humanity-of-Jesus2.jpg?fit=300%2C157&ssl=1)
The four living creatures in Ezek. 1 have four faces, but the face in the front is of a man; this indicates that we must have a proper humanity, bearing the appearance of a man, by living out the humanity of Jesus in our daily living. The four living creatures bear the appearance of a […]
Daily Drinking the Humanity of Jesus to be Jesusly Human in the World for the Church
![We must enjoy the Spirit of the humanity of Jesus for the church service, for our daily walk, and for the Lord’s recovery. The believers are the salt of the earth, those who kill and eliminate the earth’s germs of corruption and rottenness; the basic element of the salt is the humanity of Jesus. The believers are the light of the world, those who let their light shine before men to dispel the world’s darkness; we can be the light only by taking the humanity of Jesus.

It will make a great difference in our Christian life and work when we realize that the humanity we should have – the humanity of Jesus – can be ours only by eating and drinking the humanity of Jesus in the Spirit. Too many Christians have endeavoured to “imitate Jesus” and to “live like Jesus” […]
