Bone of His Bone - F. J. Huegel

This episode provides an overview of F. J. Huegel’s book, Bone of His Bone, which advocates for a Christian life defined by participation rather than mere imitation. Huegel argues that attempting to mimic Christ through human effort leads to spiritual exhaustion and failure, whereas identifying with Christ’s death and resurrection allows for a supernatural infusion of divine power. The author details how believers are grafted into the Godhead, sharing in Christ's crucifixion to terminate the "self-life" and rising in resurrection power to live a victorious life. Key themes include the necessity of yielding to the Holy Spirit, the reality of spiritual warfare against Satanic forces, and the redemptive value of sharing in Christ's sufferings. Ultimately, the text describes the believer's journey from a state of moral bankruptcy to a position of authority and intimacy seated with Christ in the heavenlies. Published by CLC Publications, the work draws heavily on the teachings of Mrs. Penn-Lewis regarding the believer’s identification with the Cross.
