You have many things. You have a great deal of patience and humility. You are a very capable and nice person. You are loving, helpful, and forgiving. You are willing to do this and that. Humanly speaking, it is hard to find a Christian like you. But I must speak an honest word: You only have things. You have to realize that what is truly spiritual before the Lord are not things, but the Lord Jesus Christ. What you are, what you can do, or what you have does not matter; only Christ matters.
Watchman Nee
When the guru tells his followers that only Christ matters, what ends up happening is that only the guru matters. And this is why when one goes to a Local Church meeting in the USA you might find a bunch of American Caucasian brothers and sisters speaking, dressing and acting like an elderly Chinese man (or woman). On more than one occasion, when I brought a friend or relative to a Local Church meeting, they would be scratching their head and wondering why everyone spoke and prayed with the same intonation and accent. Frankly, it creeped most of them out. Of course when they asked me about all the weirdness, I would usually say "Only Christ matters!" or some such nonsense.
This quote of Nee's actually resembles more of a pseudo-pantheism than genuine, biblical, orthodox Christian teaching. To put a finer point on it - If Christ is the only thing that matters, then there is no meaning to our human life. If God only wanted Christ he would of created all the angels and heavenly beings to be exactly like Christ. Adam and Eve would have been exactly like Christ. There would be no need for the Holy Spirit to come and transform us into the likeness of the Son because we would already be the Son.
Lord Jesus, by your mercy and grace would you empty our hearts and minds of any false teaching. Let us learn from you, for you were gentle and lowly. Let us learn from you, for you came to do the will of your Father, and you did so until your work was finished on the cross. You are our example, our friend, our Lord and the author and finisher of our faith. May we take you as our example - although you were rich, for our sake you became poor. You came to serve and not to be served. Break our heart for what breaks yours. Cleanse and purify our hearts until our hearts are like yours. May we know you and the power of your resurrection.
