![Out from whom all the Body, being joined together and being knit together through every joint of the rich supply and [through] the operation in the measure of each one part, causes the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love.

Ephesians 4:16 says, Out from whom all the Body, being joined together and being knit together through every joint of the race supply, and through the operation in the measure of each one part, causes the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love. Amen!
God’s eternal purpose throughout the ages is to gain a corporate expression of Himself where His divine attributes can be expressed through human virtues.
Actually, this corporate expression is not something dead or organizational. It is a living, growing, spreading organism of the Triune God.
And this organism is the true vine. It is in this vine and for this vine that God dispenses the unsearchable riches of all that He is.
And the best part is, we have become part of this vine. God has joined us to Christ.
And now this vine is not only just Christ Himself, but it is a universal great corporate vine that includes me and you as the branches.
You know, we have been placed in the best position to receive the riches of the vine as our life and life supply.
All we need to do is simply abide day by day. We need to exercise our mingled spirit to be one with the Lord and open our hearts to Him so that He can spread into every part of our being.
And the fruit of our living and abiding in Christ is God’s expression. When we live to the Lord, the invisible God is expressed through a group of people on the earth.
And that group of people is the church, the great corporate vine today, and in eternity, this vine will consummate as the New Jerusalem, God’s ultimate organism, which is altogether an organic union of the Triune God with His redeemed people, where He is fully expressed, manifested and glorified in humanity.
Praise the Lord. This is our glorious destiny.
And we can experience it today by abiding as branches in the vine, by enjoying all that He is, and by expressing Him for all to see.
