Section 11
containing God's mind, will, and emotion. This was His God-man living.
In the Man-Savior's God-man living man's virtues became a shell, an image, to express God's attributes so that God may be expressed in man's living. If we see this, we shall have the answer to the question why it was necessary for the Lord Jesus to live on earth for thirty-three and a half years before He died to accomplish redemption. If He had lived on earth only a short time, there would have been only a mo mentary expression of the divine attributes in His living. Such a brief expression could be com pared to a rainbow, which appears for a while and then vanishes. The Man-Savior lived a full human life for thirty-three and a half years. During those years He was proved to be without defect or imperfection. He did not fail in any way. His virtues were an image for an expres sion of God's attributes. Therefore, God was ex pressed in His living.
The Lord's God-man living constituted His qualification to be the Man-Savior. At the same time, this living constituted a prototype to His believers. This prototype is for the "mass pro duction," the reproduction, of the God-man in the believers. In a factory, a great deal of time
may be spent to produce a prototype. Once the prototype has been produced, it is then used for mass production. In a similar way, the Man- Savior's God-man living constituted Him a pro totype so that He may now be reproduced in us. Praise the Lord for the prototype and for the mass production!
