In this highlight programme, Witness Lee unveils the establishment of the Kingdom through the Lord Jesus sowing Himself as the seed of life into humanity (Matt. 13:3-23). Remarkably, we discover that the growth and manifestation of this kingdom is not by any outward work - but rather through the development of this life seed! The four types of heart and how we can co-operate to afford the growth are practically applied.

The abnormal development of the outward appearance of the kingdom of the heavens is seen in Matt. 13:31-34. At first glance, the parables of the mustard seed and the leaven might be understood as something positive. However, a closer examination reveals how aspects of corruption and abominable practices have subtly infiltrated God’s kingdom.

What is the kingdom of God like? The Lord Jesus compared it to items good for food – to a delicious herb and like bread made from fine flour. But in Matt. 13:44-46 He goes on to reveal it is also like a treasure hidden in the earth and a pearl worth selling all for. The crucial significance of the pearl and the treasure is explored on today’s programme.
On today’s Life-study we come to the parable of the net (Matt. 13:47-50). A full picture of how the kingdom would appear as Christendom is prophetically presented by the six parables in this chapter. The practical application of these parables, and the parable of the net with its connection to the eternal gospel in Revelation 14 is made clear by Witness Lee.
