One of the problems with Witness Lee’s use to the term “expressing God” is that it never seemed to have an objective check-in on what that looks like.
Jesus Christ is the ultimate one who expresses God. When we see Him we see the Father. When the Father works He works. The three gospels as well as other writings of the apostles record what that looked like, still looks like, and will look like including in Jesus’ life, death, and glorification, in the lives of the apostles, and in the revelation of the testimony of Jesus in Revelation. That is our ultimate check-in, and it is truly humbling.
Acts 10:38 says: “Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him” -American Standard Version.
Even all scripture that God breathed “is useful is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 – New International Version
Where are the good works of “The Lord’s Recovery”?
