John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The full ministry of Christ in three stages (incarnation, inclusion, and intensification), and this is the central revelation of God and the present truth:
- In the first stage, the stage of His incarnation, from His human birth to His death, He brought the infinite God into the finite man, He united and mingled the Triune God with the tripartite man, He expressed in His humanity the bountiful God in His rich attributes through His aromatic virtues, and He accomplished His all-inclusive judicial redemption (John 1:1, 14; Matthew 1:18, 20; John 5:19; 4:34; 17:4; 14:10, 24; 5:30; 7:18; 1:29; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18-19).
- In the second stage, the stage of His inclusion, from His resurrection to the degradation of the church, He was begotten by God to be God’s firstborn Son, He became the life-giving Spirit, and He regenerated the believers for His Body (Acts 13:33; 1 Corinthians 15:45b; 1 Peter 1:3).
- In the third stage, the stage of His intensification, from the degradation of the church to the consummation of the New Jerusalem, He intensifies His organic salvation, He produces the overcomers, and He consummates the New Jerusalem (Revelation 1:4; 3:1; 4:5; 5:6; 2:1-7; 19:7-9; 21:2).
We need to do a work of three sections: a work in the stage of incarnation to produce redeemed people, a work in the stage of inclusion to produce the churches, and a work in the stage of intensification to produce the overcomers to build up the Body, which consummates in the New Jerusalem as the unique goal of God’s economy.
