The two great things Christ did in God’s economy while being on earth were that He put away the sin (through His death on the cross) and He imparted His divine life into His believers (in His resurrection). Christ doesn’t just “wash us and cleanse us from our sins” – He dispenses His divine life into us, which life is a sin-dealing and sin-overcoming life!
Christ put away sin once and for all and He imparted Himself as the divine life into us!

We are called to enjoy grace and express God, and Christ is our model – we are His reproduction!
For us to become Christ’s “Xerox copy” we need spiritual light and the riches of the divine life – we become not an imitation of Christ but a reproduction of Christ! A monkey can imitate the things and actions a man does, but because the monkey does not have the human life, after the “imitation time” is over, he returns back to his monkey life. 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!

through Christ’s resurrection we became the many grains, the brothers of Christ, and the sons of God!
Praise the Lord for His wonderful resurrection! Christ accomplished so much through His incarnation, crucifixion, and especially through His resurrection! In the book of Isaiah, there are some “windows” into seeing what Christ’s resurrection accomplished – as Isaiah 53:10-11 reveals, When He makes Himself an offering for sin, He will see a seed, He will […]

Christ saw A SEED as the issue of the travail of His soul and He was satisfied!
I was so encouraged to see the fact that Christ is Fully Satisfied with what He accomplished in His resurrection and ascension! Maybe we have heard many times that Christ in His resurrection became the life giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45), He was begotten as the Firstborn Son of God (Rom. 8:29), and He regenerated […]

Christ is the Fruit of the Earth for the multiplication and reproduction of the divine life in humanity
On the one hand, in His divinity, Christ is the Shoot of Jehovah, the sprouting of God into man – a new development of the Triune God into humanity. On the other hand, in His humanity, Christ is the fruit of the earth: He was born of a human virgin, lived a human life on […]

Christ is extending His days in His believers – enjoy His resurrection life today!
At the Lord’s table on the Lord’s day we sang one of my favourite Hymns which seems to get richer and richer – Hymn #203, which is a Praise of the Lord for His Increase (listen to it online, or read the lyrics online). 1. In the bosom of the Father, Ere the ages had begun, Thou […]
