Message Eleven
The Divine-human Incorporation of the Consummated God with the
Regenerated Believers—the Issue of Christ Being Glorified by the Father
with the Divine Glory
OPENING WORD OF THE PROPHESYING MEETING
Reading the verses in each day.
Reading the main points in the outlines.
Pray-reading the verses:
John 14:20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.
John 14:2 In My Father’s house are many abodes; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
John 15:1 I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman.
Word of Appetizer
Please explain that John 14:20 reveals that the consummated Triune God and the regenerated believers became an incorporation in the resurrection of Christ; what are the three aspects of this incorporation?
“In that day”—in the day of the Son’s resurrection. “You will know that I am in My Father” (the Son and the Father are incorporated into one), “and you in Me” (the regenerated believers are incorporated into the Son and into the Father in the Son), “and I in you” (the Son in the Father is incorporated into the regenerated believers).
The issue of Christ’s glorification, His resurrection, is the incorporation of all of God’s chosen, redeemed, and regenerated people with Himself in three aspects—the Father’s house, the Son’s vine, and the Spirit’s child.
Spiritual Burden
To abide in Christ, taking Him as our dwelling place, and to allow Him to abide in us, taking us as His dwelling place, are to live in the reality of the universal incorporation of the processed and consummated Triune God with the redeemed and regenerated believers.
The New Jerusalem is the tabernacle of God, and the center of the tabernacle is Christ as the hidden manna; the way to be incorporated into this universal, divine-human incorporation, the mutual abode of God and man, is to eat Christ as the hidden manna.
Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting
The Revelation of the Truth
We have to see that in the entire universe, there is only one thing that God wants, that is, the universal incorporation of Himself as the consummated God with the regenerated believers.
The release of the glory of Christ’s divinity is His being glorified by the Father with the divine glory (12:23-24) in His resurrection through His death (Luke 24:26); the release of the glory of His divinity with His divine life was to cast fire on the earth.
The issue of Christ’s glorification, His resurrection, is the incorporation of all of God’s chosen, redeemed, and regenerated people with Himself in three aspects—the Father’s house, the Son’s vine, and the Spirit’s child.

The Experience of Life
To abide in Christ so that He may abide in us is to have our living in Christ, taking Him as our everything; to take Him as our habitation, our eternal dwelling place, is the highest and fullest experience of Christ. When we love the Lord Jesus, He manifests Himself to us, and the Father comes with Him to make an abode with us for our enjoyment; this abode is a mutual abode, in which the Triune God abides in us and we abide in Him.
If we abide in the Lord’s constant and written word, His instant and living words will abide in us. By the outward, written word we have the explanation, definition, and expression of the mysterious Lord, and by the inward, living word we have the experience of the abiding Christ and the presence of the practical Lord.
Practice and Application
Morning by morning we need to be sanctified by touching the Word and allowing the Spirit to touch us in order to move out of ourselves, our old lodging place, and into the Triune God, our new lodging place, the place of the coinhering oneness of the Triune God.
The way to be incorporated into this universal, divine-human incorporation, the mutual abode of God and man, is to eat Christ as the hidden manna. We should not be joined to the world—we should be incorporated into the New Jerusalem by eating Christ as the hidden manna; when we eat Him, we live by Him in this great incorporation.
