About This Issue of The Ministry
In this issue of The Ministry, Brother Lee reviews the person and work of the Lord Jesus. Concerning His person, the Lord Jesus is the Father in eternity, He is the Son among men, and He is the Spirit in us. Concerning His work, His birth is for Him to be united with us; His crucifixion is to deal with our old life; His resurrection is for us to receive His life and nature; His ascension is for us to receive a heavenly status; and His coming again is for us to receive His glory. Now every saved one has Christ as the life of God and the “I Am” within him; this is the salvation which God has given to us.
The following six messages are from the Crystallization-study of the Gospel of Matthew given during the winter training in December 2000 in Anaheim, California. The following four statements express the main points of the burden: 1) God’s intention in regenerating us is to bring us under His heavenly rule, 2) the reality of the kingdom of the heavens is Christ as the life-giving Spirit ruling within us, 3) to live in the reality of the kingdom we need to live out the indwelling Christ as our subjective righteousness, and 4) we need to deny the self, take up the cross, and lose the soul-life for the building of the church in the reality of the kingdom.
In the next few issues of The Ministry, we will include some important matters of fellowship which were given during the winter training of 2000. The fellowship concerning the burden for migration to London, England is presented in this issue.
