Eating The Lord

From beginning to end, the Bible speaks of eating the Lord. When God created man, He placed man in front of Himself as the tree of life, and rather than commanding man concerning praise or worship, He commanded man to eat. The Old Testament speaks further concerning the matter of eating in its presentation of the types of the Passover lamb, the offerings in the tabernacle, and the produce of the good land of Canaan. The New Testament also speaks very clearly concerning our eating, especially in its presentation of Christ as the portion of all the believers. In Eating the Lord Witness Lee unveils the great scriptural truth that eating the Lord is simply to enjoy the Lord so that God can impart Himself into man to fulfill His heart's desire. When we believed in the gospel, a great feast was spread before us, and day by day we can keep this feast by cooperating with the Lord's inward operation. In this way Christ will be an abundant portion for our enjoyment and for those with whom we share Him.

The profound thought of the Bible is that God wants to impart His divine life and nature into His redeemed and regenerated elect in order to make them God-men. To accomplish this desire God first created man as a vessel for Himself and then presented Himself to man as food. All believers know the importance of loving and serving the Lord. However, many have not seen the need to receive Him as their supply and content. The believers need to daily be bountifully supplied with the divine life in order to be recovered to the central desire of God. In The Lord’s Recovery of Eating, Witness Lee unveils the fundamental scriptural truth that we must breathe the Lord as the living air, drink Him as the living water, and eat Him as the bread of life to receive Him and enjoy Him in our regenerated human spirit through a normal living of calling on His name.

This book...concerns the crucified Christ as the secret to Christian living and growth in life and as the way for God to accomplish His eternal purpose.

When God created man, He placed him before two trees: the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life. In warning man to avoid the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God indicated His desire for man to eat of the tree of life, signifying that man should receive God as his life supply. Witness Lee unveils in the The Tree of Life that God is not looking for well-behaved Christians; He is looking for those who will experience and enjoy Christ as the reality of the tree of life.
