God gives us one person and one way
Christ and the cross
And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My Son, the Chosen One. Hear Him! Luke 9:35
And behold, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I have found My delight. Matt. 3:17Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. Matt. 16:24
And He said to [them] all, If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. Luke 9:23
Christ should not be replaced by ordinances, observances, mysticism, or philosophy. Christ is everything and must not be replaced by anything. Colossians makes it clear that the all-inclusive Christ is everything to us. God’s intention is not to give us thousands of items; it is simply to give us one person, the all-inclusive Christ. Paul …shows us that the cross is God’s unique way. God’s way is not asceticism. It is not to humble ourselves, to abase ourselves, or to treat ourselves severely. The one way is the way of the cross. By the cross God has dealt with all the negative things in the universe. Furthermore, God is still governing everything through the cross. Therefore, we have one person and one way; that is, we have Christ and the cross. Life-study of Colossians, pp. 211-212, by Witness Lee
