The title comes from a phrase in a hymn written by Watchman Nee. My experience of being a recipient of the ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee can be embodied in this phrase. The phrase is very short and practically it seems exclusive, but actually it encompasses everything a Christian needs - Christ. Through Christ we know God and we know how to live in, with and through every aspect of our life on this earth. In his epistle to the Colossians, the apostle Paul said there is the mystery of Christ, and he said that Christ is our life (1:26-27). The Bible reveals Christ, and that is all the ministry and writings of W. Nee and W. Lee have given me. I am so thankful to the Lord that He has allowed me to be a recipient of this ministry that just focuses on Christ, the most wonderful Person in the universe. I am only 25 years old and I've been a Christian since I was 11 years old. Howeve,r as with most immature 11 year olds I did not really begin to pursue Christ until my late teens, particularly, when I began college and the world with all its opportunities caused me to begin seeking after God. It was at that time that God's purpose and the meaning of my life became clear to me through God's mercy in allowing me to turn my heart to Him. I was helped very much by two small booklets by Witness Lee called, The Precious Blood of Christ and Pray-reading the Word. I was also helped by The Living and Practical Way to Enjoy Christ. These books also helped me to experience and enjoy Christ! New meaning and vitality was given to my Christian life because through this ministry I was brought to Christ. Christ is the newest and most vital Person. “In Him was life” (John 1:4). “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). Since then, through this ministry that opens up the Bible to me, I have been “apprehending with all the saints what the breadth and length and height and depth are” (Ephesians 3:18), living a life of exploring the vast dimensions of Christ.
