Weekly Pursuit – Week 2 of November
Verse:
Eph. 1:10 “Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him.”
Excerpts:
God’s way to head us up is to work Himself as the factor of life into us that we may rise up and be attached to one another…. Through this dispensation, the life factor is ministered to all the members of the church that they may rise up and be attached in the Body. This is the heading up in Christ. (Life-study of Ephesians, msg. 9)
The heading up in the church is a matter in life. If we try to be headed up without growing in life, we shall fall into organization…. The more you grow in life, the more life you will have, the more heading up there will be, and the more you will be rescued from the heap of collapse.
The heading up in the church life also takes place by light (Rev. 21:23-25). This light, of course, is not the light of knowledge, but the light of life [John 1:4] ….Today we in the church life are taking the lead to be headed up in Christ. For this we need to grow in life and have the light of life. (Life-study of Ephesians, msg. 8)
