It is written in Isaiah 9:6, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given.” For us, the Lord Jesus was born, lived, and died. Forever He is no longer God alone. Many passages from the Bible tell us how deeply He loves us, such as the Song of Solomon, the eternal covenant established by the Lord, and His sunken wound. Our lives and eternity should be built upon the Lord and His word. The phrase “It is written” appears many times in the Bible. The Lord’s word and promises are our help...

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit truly love us very much. The Bible shows us a lot of evidence about this, including the fact that we’re created in the image of God. In addition, the Lord’ became a man for us forever. This shows how closely God can be connected to man even though God is a divine being. We are united with the Lord. When we believed in the Lord, we immediately enjoyed all the blessings of the New Covenant. We became God’s firstborn. God also gives us the Bible, the most...

In John 21:15-17, the Lord addressed Peter three times by saying “Simon, son of John.” This shows that the Lord knew about Peter’s whole life and his background. It also shows that the Lord knows all about our lives. What He wants from us is our heart and our love. His desire for us is the same as when He asked Peter, “Do you love me?” Satan will try to destroy our relationship with God by alienating us from God. But God’s love for us is the very flame of Jehovah. It’s written in Luke...

From Luke 22:31-34, the Lord foretold Peter's denial, and He prayed for Peter in advance. He also knew that Peter would turn back to Him again and be able to strengthen his brothers. The Lord was full of hope for Peter. Though Peter fell, the Lord’s personal love for him did not diminish even a bit. Furthermore, it’s written in John how the Lord helped those who had a personal encounter with Him. John 21 mentioned about the Risen Lord, how He prepared a barbeque for the disciples, and talked...

It’s very important for us to know how to behold—to see God’s true image and how He treats us. When we come before God, we can first think that He meets us in His steadfast love. Hand in hand, He walks with us. Abba even kisses us with many kisses. Furthermore, the Father meets us with the love which He has loved the Lord, because there is the deepest affection between God and us! We can also consider that God is true. We are God’s love dream. We have the most precious position in His heart....

David wrote Psalm 59. Verse 10 tells us that God in His steadfast love will meet me. David knew about God’s affection very well. He asked the Lord for just one thing - to gaze upon the Lord’s beauty for his entire life. We truly need to see the help of God’s countenance. Zephaniah 3:17 tells us that God is the mighty one who will save. What’s even more precious is that He will exult over you with loud singing. God’s joy over us is so great that He desires to hear our voice. We will also hear...

One of God’s purposes for creating fathers on earth is to help us understand the heavenly Father’s affection. However, the fathers who have bad examples on earth can cause us to have wrong concepts about God. We ought to know the Father’s true image by His words, and how He treats us. For example, it’s written in the Gospel of John that the Father is seeking true worshipers who will worship Him in spirit and truth. The parable of the prodigal son from Luke 15 clearly shows the Father’s heart....

A lot of scripture talks about the preciousness and importance of drawing near to God. For instance, David only sought after one thing, which was to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord; Enoch walked with God for 300 years; Mary sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to His teaching. This is the good portion, and it’s absolutely necessary. Many Bible passages also tell us that the Lord desires us to draw near to Him. For example, 1 Thessalonians 5 says that we are living with the Lord whether we are...

Hebrews is a very important book. It tells us that the Lord Jesus is the Son of God. For us, He became a man forever and He offered Himself as a sacrifice for our sins. Hebrews also tells us about His ministry. The purpose of these truths is to help us to come before God. Hebrews 12:22-24 is the climax of this book. This passage mentions New Jerusalem and what is in there. These truths help us to understand what God wants, and our precious identity as the firstborn. It also helps us to mind...

A few hymns were sung in the meeting. The lyrics of these hymns are from the Bible verses that talk about the risen Lord wiping away our tears and swallowing up death. He rose from the dead and lives forever. Nothing can ever separate us from Him anymore!

It’s so precious that we’re following the risen Lord. He lives in our hearts forever. Isaiah 25:6-8 gives an account of the Millennium, where God will prepare an abundant feast and wipe away tears from all faces. It’s so precious that the Lord will swallow up death forever. 1 Corinthians chapter 15 also makes reference to this passage. It tells us that when the Lord returns, we will have a resurrected body and inherit the kingdom of God. Death will be swallowed up in victory!

What happened on the night before the Lord’s crucifixion was very precious. He desired to have the feast of the Passover with the disciples. He also established this life-long love feast with us. That night He talked about the secrets in God’s heart, such as our union with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Lord expressed His love desire to Abba, and that we would be with Him where He was going. The cross was not the Lord’s final destination, but instead it affected eternity. Let us...

We continue to meditate on who we are through many truths. First of all, the Song of Solomon describes the love of God as the flame of Jehovah. Second, the Lord keeps the scar of love on His body forever for us. Third, the Lord has established the feast of love for us for our entire lives. He has established a new covenant with His blood. Fourth, the Lord is preparing the most beautiful new home for us, which is New Jerusalem. Fifth, the Lord lives in our heart forever. We have a union of...

Song 6:10 and 8:5 refer to the darling by asking , “who is this?” Let us realize who we are by referring to the Song of Solomon. Firstly, Song of Solomon is indeed a great book. It is the greatest and most precious book. . Secondly, from this book we know we belong to the Lord, and His desire is for us. Thirdly, the Lord treasures that we belong to Him. Out of this love, He did not remain as God only, but became a man forever . He even died on the cross, and was chastened and forsaken by the...

There are many mentions of priests eating the offerings in Leviticus. This tells us that we need to draw near to God, experience Him, worship and praise God every day because the Lord is the bread of life. When we live out the life of a priest, we also need to come before God. As written in Exodus, God desired to meet with the people of Israel at the altar of burnt offerings, the altar of incense, and the Holy of Holies. He desires to have deep fellowship with man. The life of a priest is...

It’s written in Revelation chapter 1 that the Lord has freed us from our sins by His blood and made us priests to His God and Father. 1 Peter chapter 2, verse 9 tells us that we are more than priests. We are a royal priesthood, who have the honor of kings. We are kings. We are no longer in darkness. We have entered into the marvelous light. We can bring many to salvation, help them to draw near to God and experience God. We can love one another. This is how we finish God’s will.

The core of God’s will is for us to be the closest to Him. And this is the most important aspect of living out the priesthood. Prior to the law, the heads of a household often made sacrificial offerings for the families. In other words, they were the priests for their families. Today, we are a royal priesthood. We receive even greater blessings than the kings in the Old Testament times. Moreover, the Lord came in person. He became a man forever. He lives in our heart and He is the closest to...

Psalm 110 tells us that God has sworn and will not change His mind to appoint the Lord as our High Priest forever. This shows the Father’s determination. He was pleased to crush His Son in order to gain us. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit were pleased to accomplish this. Hebrews chapter 8, verse 1 mentions that the Lord is the High Priest and is seated at the right hand of the Father, because He has accomplished the most perfect thing. We were once far away from God. But today, not...

God alone does wondrous things. His creation and plans are the most wonderful. He has done many wondrous things including creating the whole universe, creating our spirit, soul and body, the Lord becoming a man for us forever, and the Lord’s union with us. All of these things are wonderful. It is so precious that God is also called “The Lord will provide.” He truly has abundant preparations. He has prepared a body for the Lord, as well as salvation and an eternal dwelling place for us. The...

We live our lives walking hand in hand with Abba, the Lord, and the Holy Spirit. God has prepared so much for us, illustrated through all His creations. Moreover, God prepared His beloved Son to become a man forever for us. He also prepares abundant feasts for us. In fact, when Abba gave us His beloved Son, He also gave Himself wholly to us. It’s so precious that He has caused us to be His firstborn. He knows all our needs.

In Genesis, the experience between Jacob and his son, Joseph, illustrates Abba’s love toward us. Jacob wept for Joseph. He longed to see his face. After Jacob found him, he said that since he had seen Joseph’s face, he could die now. Abba’s love to us is greater than Jacob’s love toward Joseph. Isaac, whose name means “laughter,” expresses that we are Abba’s joy and delight. Moreover, Psalm 59:10 tells us that God will meet us in His steadfast love. It’s so precious that we are living in the...

The Lord came to the earth for us. He became a man forever and died for us. He also manifested the Father’s love and made Abba known in our hearts. In Gospel John, the Lord mentioned many times that the Father had sent Him. In Luke 15, the merciful father ran to embrace the prodigal son while he was still a long way off. His father had actually been waiting for him all along. This parable tells us that Abba has always been waiting for us. It’s so precious that the prodigal son has now...

Our Lord Jesus is the Lamb of God. It’s so precious that God will prepare for us the marriage supper of the Lamb. Both John chapter 14 and Hebrews chapter 11 tell us that the Lord is preparing a better place for us, the New Jerusalem. The Lord had already prepared for us His salvation. As written in Luke chapter 2, Simeon said that he had seen God’s salvation when he saw the child Jesus. During our life journey, the Lord also prepares many feasts for us. He is the bread of life, who fills our...

It’s so precious that God’s name is “The Lord will provide.” This name tells us that the infinite God has provided for us abundantly. Before the creation of man, God already created the whole universe and everything in it. Right after Adam and Eve sinned, God prepared for them garments of skins. Hebrews 10:4-7 tells us God prepared a body for the Lord. This tells us that the Lord would become a man forever and would be nailed on the cross for us. Before the Lord’s coming to the earth, God has...

Genesis chapter 22 tells how God prepared a ram for Abraham on the mountain. This foretold how Abba prepared for us His only beloved Son as the lamb of God, to redeem us, to bear the punishment and be forsaken by God. The latter part of Genesis chapter 22 mentions Rebekah. This foretold the Lord becoming our Beloved. The Holy Spirit leads us to the Lord. God surely gave us His own Son, and graciously with Him gave us all things.
