I am Enjoying Christ in the Green Pasture

In the Old Testament, God kept the Israelites in the sheepfold, which is the law (John 10). When the Lord Christ came, He was the green pasture to enjoy as grace and reality (John 1:14,17). I thank the Lord that I am enjoying Christ as my living water (John 7:37), spiritual food (1 Cor. 10:3), sunshine (Luke 1:78), rest (Matt. 11:28), feast (Col. 2:16-17, healing (Matt. 9:35), Physician (Matt. 9:12), and power (1 Cor. 1:24) in the green pasture. Christ is the gateway from the law, symbolized by the sheepfold, to grace, symbolized by the green pasture. He says, “I am the way and the reality and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

He is the Spirit of reality guiding me into all the reality (John 16:13). The Spirit of reality is teaching me to apply the Word as Spirit and life (John 6:63) to enjoy Christ as my everything. Through enjoying Christ I can see God’s heart’s desire in predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:5), to know the mystery of His will to head up all things in Christ (Ephesians 1:10). The church is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all (Ephesians 1:23); the church is also the wife of Christ (Ephesians 5: 27-28). Christ speaks unceasingly through the seven Spirits to the church (Rev. 1:4; 2:7,11,17,29; 3:6,13,22) that He can present the church to Himself without spots or wrinkles, and to call out the overcomers out of the corrupted situation to satisfy His need. It is only by the growth of the life of Christ in us that we can build with gold, silver, and precious stone (1 Cor. 3:12) to be the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2,9-11,18-21).

The ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee supplies me for the enjoyment of Christ for the practical building up of the Body of Christ. Praise and thanks well up from my inner being for this ministry. Our God is a God with purpose, plan, and sovereignty. The mystery of His plan was opened to me through His faithful servants. This has greatly helped me to enjoy, to build with Christ, and to prepare for His coming back. I pray He would make me one of the wise virgins (Matt. 25:4-13) and faithful servants (Matt. 24:45-47) through the enjoyment of the rich supply of the speaking of this ministry to watch and wait for His coming back.
