Jesus the Son of God has Eyes like a Flame of Fire and Feet like Shining Bronze

In His speaking to the church in Thyatira, the Lord introduced Himself as the Son of God, the One who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like shining bronze (Rev. 2:18). He said that the church in Thyatira had a lot of works and endurance, and even more works toward […]

In His Ascension Jesus was Made the Lord and Christ – We are One with Him in Spirit!

Let all the people on the earth know assuredly that God has made Jesus both Lord and Christ (adaptation of Acts 2:36). In His ascension, Christ was inaugurated by God to be the Lord of all and the Christ of God, and He was given the highest name in the universe – the Lord Jesus […]

Christ in Matthew: the Son of David and the Son of Abraham, the Christ, and the heavenly King!

Our Christ is all-inclusive – we recently got into the book of Hebrews and saw many aspects of the all-inclusive Christ in Hebrews, and now we are in the gospel of Matthew this week, seeing over twenty aspects of the all-inclusive Christ! Christ is the center and circumference of God’s economy, He is the centrality and universality of God’s economy, and He is the One that God finds delight in. It’s all about Christ in the Bible – the spirit of the Bible is to exalt Christ, and Christ is the center of everything. God desires Christ, God gives us only Christ, and from us God desires that we may enjoy, experience, offer, and minister only Christ. The Body of Christ, which is us the church, is actually Christ in His increase. Christ is the reality of every positive things in the universe, and He fills all and in all. So why talk about anything else? Why exalt anything else? Paul told the Corinthian believers that he preaches Christ(1 Cor. 1:23) and this One crucified, and he doesn’t want to know anything among them but Christ(1 Cor. 2:2). Really, Christ is everything. We are wasting our time if we talk about doctrines, teachings, ordinances, traditions, stories, etc – if we don’t talk about Christ as the center of everything. Even our experiences with God should be an experience of Christ – nothing in our spiritual life can be apart from Christ. Christ has become our very life, and He is also our person. So here are three of the many aspects of the all-inclusive Christ in the Gospel of Matthew.

our Lord Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and it is He who builds up His church!

It is so easy to take for granted what the Bible says, especially the paragraphs / sections that we know and read often. But we daily need to exercise ourselves to empty ourselves from anything old, even any old knowledge, so that we may receive a fresh revelation concerning the wonderful Person of Christ – […]
