Verses:

2 Cor. 4:10 “Always bearing about in the body the putting to death of Jesus that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.”

 

Excerpts:

[Verse 10] shows us that when the death of Jesus is manifested, His life is also manifested. Paul then said, “So then death operates in us, but life in you” (v. 12). In verse 10, he spoke of the manifestation of life. In verse 12 he spoke of the supply of life. When the manifestation is in us, it is life. When the manifestation is in others, it is supply. But the source is the same—the death of Jesus. When we have the “death of Jesus” (v. 10) in us, the Body of Christ receives the supply. Where there is reality, there is supply. No work should be performed” by us. When we pass through something in a real way, the Body of Christ spontaneously receives the supply. On our side, we should know the “death of Jesus,” and on the side of the Body of Christ, there will be the supply spontaneously.

 

Therefore, there is no need for us to tell others that we are forgiving others. There is no need for us to blow the trumpet and tell others that we are loving them. We do not need to draw attention to our bearing of the cross. If we touch reality, spontaneously, others will receive the supply. As soon as we receive life from the Lord, the church will have the supply of life. (CWWN, vol. 36, “The Holy Spirit and Reality,” pp. 243-244)
