We need to have the glory of Christ carved into our being through sufferings, and we need to send our roots deep into Christ to absorb Him and grow with Him, even to manifest His resurrection life. As believers in Christ, we are in the process of being made materials for God’s building; the […]
Allow the Crucified and Resurrected Christ as the Spirit to Build Himself into us for the Church
In order for us to become suitable materials for God’s building, we need to experience Christ in His death (signified by cypress), Christ in His resurrection (signified by cedar), and Christ as the Spirit (signified by olive wood), being filled with the Holy Spirit and being in spirit for God’s building.
