Section 14

these people love the Lord at any cost. They will pay any price in loving the Lord. In their hearts nothing is so costly, so valuable, so lovable, and so precious as the Lord Himself." We must give people this kind of impression.

We all must be a triangular member of the church. We must have three corners. We all must be Martha, Lazarus, and Mary. When someone asks you your name, you should reply, "My name is Martha-Lazarus-Mary." This is the proper name for us all to have.

If we are truly practicing the church life, we must have the service, the testimony, and the love toward the Lord. We all must be Martha, Lazarus, and Mary. Such a church is the result and issue of the Lord being life to us. Chapter twelve is the issue of chapter eleven. This kind of service, tes­ timony, and love comes out of the Lord being resurrection life to us. With these functions, there is the genuine church life. In the real church life, the service to the Lord is rendered, the testimony of the Lord is seen, and the love toward the Lord is poured out. Here we can enjoy the Lord with other saints, and the Lord Himself can dwell, rest, and feast in satisfaction. This is the real expres­ sion of the Body of the Lord, which is a vessel to contain the Lord and to express Him.
