The Lord Jesus set up a model for our God-man living – He was crucified to live so that God might be expressed through humanity; today we are His continuation, and we should live the same kind of life that Jesus lived. If we read the Gospels we can clearly see a pattern, an example, […]
As Christ’s Continuation, we should Live the same kind of Life that Jesus Lived
Eating the Lord’s Humanity for our Life to be a Duplication of Christ’s God-man Living
The meal offering typifies first Christ in His God-man living, and it also typifies our Christian life as a duplication of Christ’s God-man living, for when we eat the human life and living of Jesus, His human living becomes ours. We praise the Lord for coming to be the reality of all the offerings, and […]
The Best way to Shepherd People is to give them a Proper Pattern of Living Christ
The best way to shepherd people – as see in the New Testament – is to give them a proper pattern of living Christ and magnifying Him; Paul fed his spiritual children not only with the word of God but with his own living of Christ (see 1 Thes 2, 2 Cor. 1-2). Nowadays many […]

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8), and with Him there is no change (Mal. 3:6; Num. 23:19). However, in the Gospel of John 1:14, we see that the Word – who was with God and who was God – became flesh. In His essence, God cannot change and will not […]
Living the God-man Life by Denying our Natural Life and Living by the Divine Life
When we see that, as believers in Christ, we are God-men, we will realize that our living must be the living of a God-man, the same kind of living that the Lord Jesus had when He was on the earth. Even though the Lord Jesus was God incarnate, He didn’t live by His own life, […]
