In this issue we will continue four lines of ministry. The first line—The History of the Lord’s Recovery—contains chapters 17 through 20 of The Kernel of the Bible, which are in volume 1 of The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1977. This section includes messages on the church as the new man, the Lord’s need for churches, the New Jerusalem, and walking in the spirit.

The second line—Words for New Believers—contains chapters 6 through 9 of The Fulfillment of God’s Purpose by the Growth of Christ in Us, which are in volume 1 of The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1970. These chapters cover our growing up into Christ in all things, growth in life for God’s building, the development of life for the expression of life, and our enjoying Christ in the spirit for the church life.

The third line—Maturing in Life—contains chapters 23 through 26 of Perfecting Training, which are in volume 1 of The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1980. These chapters contain messages on the top revelation of the Bible—the Body of Christ, the focal point of Romans—the Body of Christ, sonship for the Body life, and our presenting to God an unemployed body for the Body life.

The fourth line—The High Peak of the Divine Revelation—contains chapters 4 through 7 of The Christian Life, which are in volume 2 of The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1991–1992. These chapters cover the functions of the all-inclusive Spirit, the all-inclusive death of Christ, and the all-inclusive resurrection of Christ.
