The Lord Jesus Christ as the good Shepherd has formed the Jewish believers and the Gentile believers into one flock – the one church, the Body of Christ. God became a man and put on human nature, and He laid down His human life so that His sheep would receive and live by His divine […]
The Lord Flocks us Together, Shepherds us, and Commissions us to Shepherd Others
Christ Shepherds us by Being our Life and by Living in us; He Guides us into His Flock

The Lord Jesus is the good Shepherd, and He shepherds us by feeding us with Himself and in Himself as the pasture (see John 10:9-10). There are other shepherds, that’s true, but the Lord is the good Shepherd. He takes an all-inclusive tender care of His believers as His sheep. On the cross He tore […]
Christ Laid Down His Soul Life so that We may Enjoy His Divine Life for the Church

The Divine Fellowship of the Divine Life: the Basic Element of John’s Mending Ministry

Only life can mend. And though we may know this, we don’t really know how it happens. All we know is that we need to be open to the divine fellowship of the divine life so that life would flow into us and mend us. The ministry of the Apostle John is a mending ministry […]
