We are slowly and surely becoming the reproduction of Jesus Christ as the corporate meal offering church life! The genuine church today is nothing else but the corporate living of the believers in Christ who are the reproduction and duplication of Christ – it is Jesus living again in His believers. We are imitating Christ in His life by eating Christ and becoming Christ’s reproduction organically. We all are learning to deny ourselves, remaining in Christ’s death, living under the cross, by the power of Christ’s resurrection. When an unbeliever comes in and sees this, he senses that God is among us! Wow, the corporate God-man living, the reproduction of Christ as the meal-offering church life! [continue reading online]

But to us Christ is the original copy, the model and the pattern, and we are the Xerox-copy of Christ by our enjoyment of Him and following in His steps!
Christ as the Servant of Jehovah is typified in Isaiah by king Cyrus, the people of Israel, and the prophet Isaiah
Christ is the Servant of Jehovah, and because Christ is so great and woderful, the entire Bible is full of types of Christ – people that typify Christ as the Servant of Jehovah. In the book of Isaiah especially we see that there are three particular persons who typify Christ – king Cyrus, the prophet […]
the church today is the reproduction of Christ and the reprint of the Spirit
WOW! Have you ever heard such a statement? There is actually a book by brother Witness Lee called, The Church – The Reprint of The Spirit, and this morning I enjoyed some portions from this book (as quoted in the morning revival on, The Need for a Fresh Vision of the Lord’s Recovery). How can […]
