128 Walking in the Spirit #8 - ‘‘The Manifestation of The Law of Life - part 4’

What does Watchman Nee mean by hypocrisy and playacting?In this episode of Walking in the Spirit, Alex continues through Chapter 10 of The Normal Christian Life and opens up a conversation around two words that have stayed with him since first reading this section: hypocrisy and playacting. They are words we usually associate with religion, pretence, and putting on a show for others, but Nee uses them in a way that reaches much deeper than that.As the conversation unfolds, Alex reflects on the difference between trying to live the Christian life and allowing the life of Christ to be expressed through us. Drawing from Colossians 3, personal experience, and Nee's teaching on the law of life, he explores why so much of Christian living can become an effort to maintain an appearance, and why the Father's intention has always been something far greater than behaviour management. The issue is never whether we can imitate Christ well enough, but whether we are trusting the life that He has already placed within us.About AlexAlex is from the UK and he teaches and disciples across nations after years serving in Poland.
