LIFE-STUDY OF COLOSSIANS

MESSAGE TWENTY-SEVEN

CHRIST-OUR LIFE

Scripture Reading: Col. 3:1-4; Rom. 8:30, 19, 21; Phil. 3:21

At the beginning of this message I would like to give a further word on the way of the cross. For this, I would ask you to consult the diagram on the last page of the message.

THE PROCESSED GOD

In eternity past God existed alone. Then, in time, He created all things. At a certain point in history, this creating God, the Creator of all, became a man. This crucial step is called incarnation. By means of incarnation, God put on man with all of creation, for man is the head of creation. The Lord Jesus, God incarnate, lived on earth for thirty-three and a half years. When He was crucified, all creation was crucified with Him. This means that not only did Christ go to the cross, but the very man God had put on Himself with the entire creation went to the cross with Him. Therefore, Christ’s death on the cross was an all-inclusive crucifixion. After His crucifixion, Christ was buried in a tomb. The man and the creation which were crucified with Christ were also buried in that tomb. After three days, Christ arose from the dead in His resurrection. Through resurrection and in resurrection He became the life-giving Spirit. Furthermore, in His ascension to the third heaven, He was crowned and became the Head and the Lord over all. Then He descended upon His Body as the all-inclusive Spirit.

my comment: This(underlined part) is a great light of revelation concerning His incarnation and crucifixion from the Lord to brother Lee, Hallelujah!

Because God, after completing the work of creation, passed through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and descension, we may speak of Him as the processed God. The diagram portrays the process through which He has passed. Through incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection, He has become the life-giving Spirit. After ascending to the third heaven, where He was enthroned and crowned, and where He was made the Head and Lord of all, He descended upon the church, His Body. In His descension, He is the all-inclusive Spirit. This all-inclusive Spirit has come upon God’s elect, who make up the church.

mc: Here concerning the all-inclusive Spirit, is not　any comment on us and all things both objective beings that passed through with Him in His incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension. And there is a strong union of Christ with us the “objective we“, but no comment. Within this all-inclusive Spirit we the “objective we“ in heaven are not included is abnormal.

When Christ was incarnated and born in the manger in Bethlehem, He put humanity on Himself. This humanity included us and all of creation as well. Hence, even before we were born, Christ put us on Himself. As Christ passed through human living, we passed through it with Him. Furthermore, when He went to the cross and was crucified, we were crucified with Him. Then we were buried with Him in the tomb. In fact, all of creation was buried there. Thus, Christ’s tomb was an all-inclusive tomb. We have also resurrected and ascended with Christ. Now, even while we are participating in the church life, we are sitting with Him in the heavenlies. On the one hand, we are in the church on earth; on the other hand, we are in Christ in the heavenlies. There is a great deal of traffic between the heavens and the church, traffic that moves faster than the speed of light. Actually, to refer to such traffic is to speak from a human point of view. From God’s point of view, the heavens and the church are one. Therefore, to be in the church is to be in the heavens.

mc: Here(underlined part) brother Lee using the word "traffic" is testifying the work of the Spirit including us “objective we“, isn't he? Because the "traffic" means the work of the Spirit and in this work we the “objective we“ in heaven are mentioned. Here he made a very close error to the truth for his ignorance of the “objective we“.

Explanation of the figures by me: Fig2(below): General understanding of the Spirit There are two lines, Left side line: Union of Christ with us the “objective we“ Right side line: The last Adam became a life giving Spirit that is all inclusive Spirit(brother Lee). And no relation between the two lines. Fig1(above): New understanding of the Spirit: The two lines in the Fig2 are made one. This is the Spirit that is Biblical. The diagram above THE PROCESS OF THE DEVINE ECONOMY is the same as Fig2. END
