In Revelation 2 and 3 Christ is the Spirit who speaks to all the churches, for we see the speaking Christ becoming the speaking Spirit to speak to all the churches; we need to have the Lord’s speaking become the Spirit’s speaking in a subjective and inward way to touch us and have an effect […]

Hear and see, forget and stretch forward to gain Christ now: the King will desire your beauty!
Psalm 45 is a psalm about Christ – praising Christ as the King. In this psalm we see a direct praise of Christ as the King and also an indirect praise of Christ by the psalmist praising the queen (the wife of the king), the daughters of the kings, and the sons of the king(the overcoming saints in the church). As a human being, a man needs a wife and children to be complete; in the same way, Christ is not a bachelor – He is the King with the queen and all the children! To praise Christ in a complete way, we must say something about Himself, about His queen, and about His children. Christ’s glory is seen in Christ Himself in the Gospels, in the church in the Epistles, and in the overcomers in Revelation. Praise the Lord for Christ, the church, and the overcoming saints!
