For the fulfillment of God’s purpose, “the seed” is a very important matter. In the Bible we see that Christ is a threefold seed: He is the seed of the woman (Gen. 3:15), the seed of Abraham (Gen. 17:2), and the seed of David. The entire Scriptures is wrapped up with the seed in these […]
The Lord Flocks us Together, Shepherds us, and Commissions us to Shepherd Others
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 […]
Christ Laid Down His Soul Life so that We may Enjoy His Divine Life for the Church
The entire Bible is a book of life, and the gospel of John in particular is a book focusing on God as life for God’s building. What is life? Life is the Triune God Himself. The Lord Jesus came that we may have life and may have it abundantly (John 10:10). He came that we […]
Only the Spirit can Live the Christian Life, so Breathe in the Life-Giving Spirit!
The Lord Jesus promised the disciples that He will send the Spirit of reality as another Comforter (see John 14:15-16, 26; 15:26; 16:7-8, 13), and after His resurrection He came among His disciples and breathed into them saying, Receive the Holy Spirit (John 20:22). The expected Spirit in John 7:39 and the promised Spirit in […]
The Spirit of Jesus Christ who “was not yet” in John 7:39 is Our Bountiful Supply Today!
We praise the Lord for the truth in the Bible and for the recovery of the proper interpretation of the truth concerning the Spirit as the consummation of the Triune God. God became a man, lived a perfect human life on earth, died on the cross, and entered into resurrection to become “the Spirit” which […]
The Triune God Went Through a Process Economically and Became “the Spirit” (John 7:39)
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 […]
In the Triune God, Christ the Son is the Expression of the Father (part 2)
In his Gospel John speaks again and again about the Triune God – the Father as the source, the Son as the expression, and the Spirit as the realization. God the Father is mysterious, hidden, and no human eye has ever seen Him. But the Son who is in the bosom of the Father has […]
