Basic Principles for the Practice of the Church Life Witness Lee. THE CHURCH AS THE ETERNAL PURPOSE AND HIDDEN MYSTERY OF GOD, AND ITS SOURCE, FUNCTION, AND PRACTICE Scripture Reading: Eph. 3:11, 9; John 3:26-30; 2 Cor. 5:1 Eph. 3:11,9 “According to the eternal purpose which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord, And to enlighten all that they may see what the economy of the mystery is, which throughout the ages has been hidden in God, who created all things,” John “3:26-30 And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, He who was with you across the Jordan, of whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him. John answered and said, A man cannot receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven. You yourselves testify of me that I said, I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before Him. He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. This joy of mine therefore is made full. He must 1increase, but I must decrease.” 2Cor.5:1 “For we know that if our earthly tabernacle dwelling is taken down, we have a building from God, a dwelling not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.” Prayer: Lord, we thank You for this time that we can come together to learn something of Yourself. Lord, we do feel that we are not competent to minister before You in such a matter, so we do trust in You for all the need. Lord, we look to You that You would open Your Word to us that we may see from Your Word, through Your Word, and in Your Word something about Yourself and something about Your Body. Lord, do reveal to us the heavenly things that we may have the heavenly vision in these last days. In Your precious name we ask. Amen.
