Isa Msg 42

Truth:
1. Isa 22:20-24 show that He is the Steward in God's house, He is the Father as the Source and Supplier to the people of God key-holder, a peg, throne of glory, and One upon whom hangs all the glory of His Father's house.
2. While Christ as the Steward serves us in God's house, He governs us. Christ is God's Steward taking care of God's children.
3. The house of David was for the establishment of the kingdom of David, and the house of God is for the establishment of the kingdom of God.
4. When the church as the house of God is adequately built up, the church is manifested as the kingdom of God.
5. The treasures today in the house of God are all the riches of Christ.
6. To be exalted to the third heaven is to be exalted to God the Father because the Father is in the third heaven.
7. The glory is the children of God as the offspring and issue of God, and these children of God are the vessels of Christ, hanging upon Him as the peg.
8. Glory refers to God's descendants, all of God's people. Offspring implies the second generation, and issue implies the later generations.
9. As the children of God, we are God's shooting out and also God's growth.
10. Today in God's house, on the one hand, we are God's children, and on the other hand, we are the vessels. Whether we are small cups or bulging bottles, we are all vessels.
11. Cups, or bowls, are small vessels to contain water, and bulging bottles, pitchers, or jars are big vessels to contain wine. Water typifies the Spirit of Christ, and wine typifies the divine life.
12. All the riches of the bountiful supply for the enjoyment of God's children are hanging on Christ as the peg, the holder. In the house of God all His children who hang on the all-inclusive Christ and who are the containers of the riches of God in this Christ should also be vessels for ministering Christ to others.

Life experience/Application:
1. The more I prayed to Him, the more I enjoyed Him, and the more I enjoyed Him, the more He restricted me.
2. If we are short of understanding and wisdom, we should call on Him, look to Him, and wait on Him. He will be our understanding and wisdom.
3. Lord, replace me with Christ. He Himself must be everything in us and to us.
4. I am not hanging on the plane; I am hanging on Christ. Christ is the peg on which I hang.
5. If we feel that we are dead, we need to drink the living water and drink the new wine.
