Life-study of Acts

Luke’s Gospel ends with the Lord’s ascending into heaven, and his Acts begins with it. His Gospel is a narrative of the ministry of the incarnated Jesus on earth; his Acts is a record of the continuing ministry of the resurrected and ascended Christ in heaven, carried out through His believers on earth. In the Life-study of Acts, Witness Lee shows that in the Gospels, the Lord’s ministry on earth, carried out by Himself, only sowed Himself as the seed of the kingdom of God into His believers, with no church being built up yet. He then presents how in the Acts, the Lord Jesus’ ministry in heaven, carried out through His believers in His resurrection and ascension, spread Him as the development of the kingdom of God for the building up of the church throughout the entire world to constitute His Body, which is His fullness for His expression, and which is even the fullness of God for God’s expression.
