THE MAN-SAVIOR'S PROPAGATION
TO PRODUCE THE CHURCH
AS HIS REPRODUCTION
The Man-Savior's resurrection was also His propagation to produce the church as His re production. By His resurrection the Man-Savior could be multiplied and thereby have His prop agation.
As an illustration of the Lord's propagation through resurrection, consider a grain of wheat that falls into the earth and dies. After a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it grows up and becomes many grains. The many grains are the multiplication of the one grain, and this multipli cation is the propagation of that grain of wheat.
According to John 12:24, the Lord Jesus is the grain of wheat who fell into the ground and died in order to be multiplied. Through His death and resurrection the Lord Jesus certainly has been multiplied and propagated. This propagation is for producing His reproduction, and the repro duction of Christ is the church. Therefore, the Lord's resurrection is His propagation to produce the church as His reproduction.
