Therefore
we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest
at any time we should let them slip. 2 For
if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and
disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3 how
shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to
be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4 God
also bearing them witness, both with
signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost,
according to his own will? (Heb. 2:1-4
Watchman Nee Meets T. Austin-Sparks
T.
Austin-Sparks was 49 years old when Watchman Nee visited him in England
Note:
Watchman Nee’s groundbreaking book The Normal Christian Church Life was
translated from Chinese to English with the help of Sparks
As
far as I’m concerned, T. Austin-Sparks and Watchman Nee had the greatest
revelation of Jesus Christ and God’s Eternal Purpose in Him since Paul of
Tarsus. Their insight into Christ exceeded that of Augustine, Calvin, Luther,
Wesley, etc.
Yet,
as with most of God’s choicest vessels, few people know of them today.
And
as is the case with both Jesus and Paul, both men, during their
lifetime and even to the present day, were lied about, slandered, and
attacked mercilessly by their “Christian” detractors. But God preserved their
testimony and their work continues unabated, all these years later.
Here’s
a rare photo of Watchman Nee and T. Austin-Sparks together. Giants in the land!
Lord,
give us days like that again. Where your choicest vessels whom you’ve called to
restore your Eternal Purpose come together to labor arm-and-arm.
