Weekly Pursuit – Week 4 of June
Verses:
Matt. 24:14 “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
Excerpts:
These four great points—God’s creation, man’s fall, God’s becoming flesh, and God’s dispensing—are the major truths in the Bible from God’s creation to the New Jerusalem. In general, the educational level among people today has been raised, and people’s reasoning and logic skills are more advanced and enriched than in the past. Furthermore, most people have some philosophical ideas and are able to ponder over all kinds of questions related to human life, questions requiring high levels of psychological reasoning…. If we preach these four great truths, people will be appreciative because these truths will match their inner condition, raising their interest and their thinking concerning human life, as well as providing them the highest answers to the true meaning of human life. We believe that this is the only way we can bring the Lord back as well as meet the need of human society in its present vain condition. Therefore, we should bear this burden to diligently study the truth to the extent that we can expound the truth and announce the truth. This is the preaching of the high gospel.
When we preach and speak in this way, the essential Spirit will fill us inwardly, and the economical Spirit will fill us outwardly. The life we live will be a life of love, light, holiness, and righteousness, and we will spontaneously live out God’s image. This is true spirituality, true holiness, and true overcoming. Ultimately, this is glory, which will expand to become the kingdom, consummating in the New Jerusalem. This will be the completion of the truth of God’s central mystery.
