Default Re: The God who died

Psalm 119:8 I will keep Your statutes; Do not utterly forsake me.

Who is "I" here? Witness Lee? Who is "Your" here? Jesus? No, I would argue that "I" is Jesus and "You" is the Father. Peter made this clear. "David's grave is with us to this day" So who kept the statutes? Who was not utterly forsaken? It was Jesus. "Father, glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You."

Instead Lee says that the pious subject is the OT saint, or the NT Jesus believer. In either case he misses the incarnated Christ. And the whole thing, to me, is the incarnated Christ. He is the one who stirs the drink, who makes the whole machine go. Cut him out and I don't know what gospel you are preaching.

Now, I don't have my recovery version in front of me, but I would like to see one footnote indicating anything like this. Christ is the fulfillment of the law. Not David the Psalmist, nor the NT believer. I didn't see anything like this in the Exodus messages Cassidy mentioned.
