Life Study of the Bible
Weekdays from 8pm
This week’s highlight programme is taken from Wednesday’s programme, that opens up how Christ fulfilled the Old Testament type of the Passover lamb. Witness Lee expounds the examination, inspection and testing by both the religious and political leaders proving He was uniquely qualified to be the real Lamb of God (Mk. 12:28-44).
A clear interpretation of the fulfilment of prophecies in Mark 13 is presented on today’s Life-study of Mark. Historical events - including the abomination of desolation, the reformation of the nation of Israel and return of Jerusalem are detailed, as well as the preparation of the one new man.

This Life-study programme opens up the prophecies presented in Mark 13:1-8. Witness Lee unveils the revelation of what will take place during the end times, concerning deceivers, wars, earthquakes and famines, and explains the significance of signs being the “beginning of “birth pangs”. Who was being delivered, and how? Join us to find out!
As New Testament believers, we know that Christ fulfilled the Old Testament type of the Passover Lamb for our redemption. However, do we realize that on the four days prior to His being crucified, He too was examined, inspected and tested to prove that He was uniquely qualified to be the real Lamb of God? (Mk. 12:28-44)
In today's programme we dive into Mark 12 and see the Slave-Saviour being tested and examined by both the Jewish and Roman leaders. Each encounter afforded the Lord the opportunity to display His marvellous wisdom and illustrate the need to know the scriptures and the power of God in our Christian life today is.

Witness Lee expounds how the Lord Jesus prepared the way for Peter, John and James to enter into the experience of Christ’s death, resurrection and ascension! This section of Mark is connected to Paul’s epistles, showing how these facts become our experience in order to live the new creation with Christ as our life and person (Rom. 6:3-4; Gal. 2:20).
This week’s highlight programme focuses on Mark 11:1-26. Just six days before His sacrificial death on the cross, the Lord Jesus surprises His disciples, confounds His opposers and thoroughly captivates the hearts of the people of the great city, Jerusalem. Mark provides a marvellous account of the Lord’s triumphant entry, cursing the fig tree, and cleansing the temple to arrange the environment that enabled Him to fulfil all the prophecies.
Just six days before His sacrificial death on the cross, the Lord Jesus surprises His disciples, confounds His opposers and thoroughly captivates the hearts of the people of the great city, Jerusalem. Mark 11:1-26 provides a marvellous account of these six days of preparation where we see His triumphant entry, cursing the fig tree, and cleansing the temple to arrange the environment that enabled Him to fulfil all the prophecies.
In this programme, Witness Lee focuses on the Lord’s journey to Jerusalem and revealing for the third time His impending rejection, suffering, death and resurrection. Failing to see this, His disciples were occupied by their own desire for position. In contrast, a blind beggar who laid aside his garments received what he asked for. There is great significance unfolded in this portion from Mk. 10:32-52.
The way that we handle marriage, oldness and riches are three critical matters that can frustrate us from entering into the kingdom of God. Witness Lee unfolds the teaching against divorce (Mk. 10:2-12), the blessing of little children (vv. 13-16), and the teaching concerning the rich and the entrance into the kingdom of God (vv. 17-31) highlighting how they relate to our practical living.
Mark 10 presents a well-known story about a rich young ruler who was unable to meet the Lord’s requirement to sell all of his possessions and give to the poor in order to inherit eternal life. As no such requirement to be saved is given elsewhere in scripture, how should we understand this story?

Today’s Life-study of Mark covers the matter of the believer’s reward or punishment in the coming age of the kingdom (Mk. 9:38-50). Eternal salvation is by faith having nothing to do with work (Eph. 2:8-9), whereas the kingdom reward is for work after a believer is saved (1 Cor. 3:8, 14). Witness Lee gives a sober word regarding stumbling, being salted, and the matter of entering into life as a reward.
Witness Lee continues in Mk. 9:14-38, where we see the practical application of taking Christ as our replacement. Why were the disciples unable to cast out the demon of a man’s son? The Lord Jesus explained, “this kind cannot come out by any means except prayer” (Mk. 9:29). Join us for an enlightening word concerning the significance of prayer, and the need for humility.

Today we focus on the highlight of Mark – the vision of Christ’s Person with His all-inclusive death and wonderful resurrection to be the universal replacement of every person and thing that is not God Himself! Witness Lee expounds the remarkable revelation given at Caesari Philippi and on the mount of transfiguration, then practically applies how we can let Christ gain our entire living (Mk. 8:27- 9:13).
If we would come after the Lord Jesus by gaining, experiencing, and enjoying Him, we need to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him (Mk. 8:34). But what does it mean for us to take up our cross? This is the subject of our Life-study programme today.
