This series of messages on the life of the church,
the body of Christ serves as a follow-up companion
volume to "But We See Jesus"; Messages on the Life
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Having come to see Christ Jesus, we are now ready
to see His church, about which Jesus had declared
this: "I will build my [church], and hades' gates shall
not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18b). From this
declaration we realize that the church is not the
product of the work of man, but it is the Lord Jesus
himself who builds the church. Hence, in Scripture,
the church is called "the Christ" (I Corinthians
12:12c; Ephesians 3:4b, 8b Darby).
The New Testament book of Acts gives us a panoramic
view of the churches in the first century. It
also provides us with a prophetic picture of the
churches throughout the centuries. As we review
the histories of these various churches that are narrated
for us in Acts, may we learn all the lessons
God wants us to learn from them.
