Life Study of the Bible
Weekdays from 8pm
Today we consider the four-part test that Christ encountered by His opposers. Witness Lee carefully leads us through Matt. 22:13-46, with questions focusing on religion, politics, belief and the law. Marvellously, the Lord turns them to the greatest of all questions: “what do you think concerning Christ?”
The parable of the wedding feast (Matt. 22:1-4) is seldom understood, or explained in a complete way. It deals not with going to heaven - but with the coming kingdom established on the earth when Christ returns to reign. What is the wedding garment that qualifies us to participate in this feast? Join us for enlightening fellowship on the kingdom reward with Witness Lee. The full archive of Life-studies on every book of the Bible is available anytime for free at amanatrust.org.uk/page/radio
This week’s highlight considers the question - what are three requirements for entering into the kingdom? According to Matt 19:1-22, lust, pride and the love of riches are three “scorpions” that must be dealt with - or we will not be living in the reality of the kingdom today, nor participate in the future manifestation of the kingdom.
During the final six days of His life on earth the Lord Jesus presented Himself to be examined repeatedly – even by His most strongest critics and opposers. On today’s programme, we look at how Christ came through this series of examinations and the wonderful revelation of Christ as the stone for God’s building in Matthew 21.
Witness Lee unfolds the welcoming of the meek King in Jerusalem (Matt. 21:1-11), the cleansing of the temple (12-17), and the cursing of the fig tree (18-22). We will see the rich significance of these three events, and their experiential application to us today.

Why did the Lord Jesus respeak regarding His death and resurrection after speaking about the requirements and reward of the kingdom? Witness Lee opens up the marvellous connection between this respeaking, James and John’s ambition for position, and the healing of two blind men which show the way in to the kingdom (Matt. 20:17-34).
The story of the impossibility of a rich young man being able to do something to obtain eternal life is the focus of today’s Life-study (Matt. 19:22-30). Intriguingly, the Lord uses this occasion to reveal not salvation – but the reward awaiting those who follow Him into the kingdom. What are the two aspects of this reward, and when will this take place?

This week’s highlight is taken from Monday’s programme. Immediately after receiving the highest revelation concerning Christ and the church, the apostle Peter was rebuked as Satan. What could possibly account for this dramatic reversal? We examine how Peter’s soul-life, self and natural opinion become involved with God’s enemy, the pathway of the cross, and consider the genuine experience of the cross in our daily life (Matt 16:21-27).
Listen to our second programme covering practical relationships in the kingdom (Matt. 18:21-35). Witness Lee gives a sobering word, showing how if we fail to forgive others after receiving God’s forgiveness, we place ourselves in serious jeopardy when we meet the Lord. The practical way to be able to forgive others from our heart is also opened up.

Relationships in the kingdom is the focus of today’s programme (Matt 18:1-4, 15-18). How we live and act with others play a major role in determining our standing in the kingdom. Witness Lee provides an accurate diagnosis of five negative items residing in believers, which need to be dealt with before the Lord.
After seeing the glorious vision of the transfigured Christ, Peter was immediately presented with a test. How would he practically apply what he saw regarding Christ as the Son of God, and today’s Moses and Elijah (Matt. 17:24-27)?

At Mount Hermon the Lord Jesus brought three disciples to witness one of the most incredible events ever see by human eyes. Matt. 16:28-17:11 unveils the transfiguration of Jesus, providing a brief glimpse of the glorious divinity that was concealed in His humanity. How is the transfiguration of Jesus related to the coming of the Son of Man in His Kingdom? Join us to find out.

This highlight programme covers the faith of a gentile woman in Matt. 15:21-18. She approached Christ not as an upright, qualified person but rather as a “dog” - willing to eat the crumbs that had fallen from the table. Such a heart touched the Lord very much. We see how He took this opportunity to present one of the great truths of the Christian life – the eating of Christ.
