DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Watchman Nee emphasizes the necessity of surrendering ourselves
completely to God, likening this act to lying on the altar. He explains
that it is the role of our High Priest, Jesus, to separate our soul from
our spirit, a process that we need not worry about as long as we commit
ourselves to the cross. Nee reassures that when we meet the conditions
for this divine work, Jesus will perform it at the right time. He
encourages believers to consider practical steps to allow the Word of
God to facilitate this separation. Ultimately, the sermon highlights the
importance of trusting in Jesus' ministry in our spiritual
transformation.

CONTENT

What we must do is lie on the altar. It is our High Priest's job to
apply the sharp knife to us to divide our soul from our spirit. If we
have truly committed ourselves to the cross, our High Priest will surely
fulfill His ministry and divide our soul from our spirit. This is His
work; we do not have to worry about it. When He sees us fulfilling the
condition for His work, He will surely divide our soul from our spirit
at the most appropriate time. Now we have to consider the practical
steps by which we, in coming to the cross, allow the Lord Jesus to
divide our soul from our spirit through the word of God.
