In the Gospel of Luke, God is revealed in a Man who saves sinners by His grace. In this book we have a picture of a Man who is genuine, normal, moral, and perfect, a Man who reveals God in His saving grace to fallen mankind. This set of free eBooklets is the second of two sets presenting the life of the Man-Savior. The fourteen eBooklets in this set are focused on the Man-Savior’s life from His arrest through His ascension.
“We need to see that the Man-Savior’s way of saving us is not superficial. In order to save us, He, the very God, came into man, bringing God’s attributes into man’s virtues. While He was on earth, He lived the life of a God-man, with the divine attributes filling His human virtues. Eventually, He died on the cross and was resurrected. In His resurrection He became the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45). Now as the life-giving Spirit He enters into us to bring God into our being and to fill our virtues with God’s attributes. In this way we are being saved day by day.”
Witness Lee, Life-study of Luke,p. 507

In Luke 22:47—23:25 we see the arrest and judging of Jesus Christ, the Man-Savior. In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee presents four pictures in this account that we need to be impressed with: the portrait of the Man-Savior, the portrait of the disciples, the picture of the religious people, and the picture of the Roman rulers.
In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee fellowships concerning two aspects of the Lord’s death seen in Luke 23:26-49: the aspect of man’s persecution and the aspect of God’s judgment. “First the Lord Jesus suffered man’s persecution, and He suffered this as a martyr, not as the Redeemer. Then, as the Redeemer, no longer as a martyr suffering persecution, He suffered God’s judgment for us, the sinners.”
“We need to see that the Lord Jesus died an all-inclusive death. His death on the cross was not merely vicarious; it was also all-inclusive. Because the Man-Savior is an all-inclusive Person, on the cross He died an all-inclusive death.” In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee considers the various aspects of this all-inclusive death.
In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee gives a particular word concerning Christ’s resurrection. The Lord’s resurrection was a vindication of His life and work, a sign of His success, a victory, a glorification, a transfiguration, the germination of the new creation, and it produced the church as His Body.
In this booklet taken from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee presents the link between Christ’s incarnation and God’s purpose in creating man. “It is a great thing to see that Christ’s incarnation is linked to God’s purpose in creating man. God’s purpose in the creation of man in His image and after His likeness was that man would receive Him as life and express Him in all His attributes. The Man-Savior’s incarnation brought God into man to restore and to recover the damaged and lost humanity and to express God in His attributes through human virtues.”
According to the four Gospels, whatever the Lord Jesus did in His life on earth was the expression of God in His human virtues. In Him, the divine attributes were brought into the human virtues for the expression of God. In this booklet taken from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee presents “a living Person, the God-man with the highest standard of morality as His saving power.”
“In order to save us, God had to live in a man for thirty-three and a half years. Have you ever thought about this? In creating the universe God used only six days, and on the seventh day He rested. Why, then, did God need to live on earth in a man for so many years in order to save us?” In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee gives the marvelous answer to this important question.
In this booklet taken from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee gives an overview of the Man-Savior’s death, resurrection, and glorification, including His sevenfold status in death, God’s vindication and approval, and the release of His divine life.
In this booklet taken from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee presents the Lord’s resurrection not merely as an event that took place three days after his crucifixion, but as a process that began immediately after His birth.
The Lord Jesus told His disciples that a grain of wheat must fall into the ground and die in order to bear much fruit (John 12:24). In this booklet taken from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee opens up the Lord’s illustration here, revealing how the Lord’s resurrection involves both germination and propagation.
Referring to the day of His resurrection, the Lord Jesus said, “In that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you” (John 14:20). Here the Lord clearly says “I in you,” revealing that He Himself will be in us. In this booklet taken from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee opens the deep truth in this verse, presenting the Man-Savior’s living in His believers.
The Gospel of Luke presents a record of the Man-Savior, from His conception to His ascension. In this booklet taken from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee fellowships concerning the Man-Savior’s ascension and its significance. “In His ascension, He was crowned and enthroned, and He was made the Lord and the Christ to possess all and to carry out God’s commission so that God’s economy, His eternal plan, may be fulfilled on earth among us and through us in this age.”
In giving his account of the Man-Savior, Luke does not stop with the Man-Savor’s resurrection but includes His ascension. Similarly, our relationship with the Lord also includes His ascension. In this booklet taken from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee considers “the connection, or the relationship, between us and Christ’s ascension.”
Luke’s record of the Man-Savior ends with His ascension to heaven (24:51). In this booklet taken from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee presents two particular aspects of the Man-Savior in His ascension: the Head of the church and the High Priest in the heavens.
