About This Set

Philippians 1:20-21 reveals that to experience Christ we need to live Him that we may magnify Him. The fifteen free eBooklets in this “Magnifying Christ by Living Him” set present what it means to live Christ and magnify Him, and the expression of a life that does this—a life that is full of forbearance but without anxiety.

“In Philippians Paul says not only that Christ lives in us; he goes on to reveal that to live is Christ. To live Christ surpasses simply having Christ live in us. Living Christ means that we have a life full of forbearance but without anxiety.” Witness Lee, Life-study of Philippians, p. 528
“As an elderly person, I have passed through a great many experiences in human life...I can testify that in all the circumstances of human life anxiety is present. Anxiety is a word that can sum up human life… Paul speaks of anxiety in 4:6 because he realizes that it is the totality of man’s life. Paul also realized that forbearance is the totality of a proper Christian life. Paul knew that human life is constituted of anxiety and that the Christian life is constituted of forbearance. Thus, to live Christ is to have forbearance without anxiety.” Witness Lee, Life-study of Philippians, p. 527

    About This eBooklet

    In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee considers the matter of magnifying Christ by living Him (Phil. 1:19-21). In Philippians 1:20 the apostle Paul says, “According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.” In Paul’s bodily sufferings, Christ was magnified, exalted, and extolled. His sufferings afforded him opportunity to express Christ in His unlimited greatness. Philippians is concerned with the experience of Christ. To magnify Christ under any circumstances is to experience Him with the topmost enjoyment.
