Seeing that brothers and sisters sang the hymns of praising God and played with different instruments. The big smile on their faces reminds me the happy life in God's house. There are lyrics sing like this "Only with God there is love, only with love there is family. All who love God one family." My brothers and sisters all come from different countries. We are not from the same family. It is God's words' calling and election, which let us come to His home from all over the world. It also gives us opportunity to experience the purifying and judgement of God's words, which help us start to mature in life and transform disposition gradually. We are worshiping God together in a family full of love.
Though separated by countless seas and mountains,
we are one people, with no boundaries between us,
with different colored skin and speaking different tongues.
The skit The Lord Is Knocking explains how, in the last days, the Lord knocks at the door of our hearts with His words, and that wise virgins can hear God's voice and feast with the Lamb.
Pastor Chang Shoudao has always awaited the Lord's return, but when Brother Zhen testifies to him that the Lord has already returned, he stubbornly sticks to his own notions and imaginings, believing that the Lord will return on a cloud, and keeping the door of his heart closed to the true way. This time, however, Brother Zhen discusses passages of the Scripture relating to the Lord's return with him, and he discovers that the Bible contains prophecies that in the last days the Lord will return in secret, in incarnate flesh, to speak new words and purify man, and only afterward will appear publicly to reward good and punish evil. At the same time, he comes to understand the true meaning of the Lord knocking at our doors, and that the key to welcoming the Lord's return is being able to hear God's voice. When he finally hears the voice of God in Almighty God's word, he finally opens the door to his heart and welcomes the Lord's return.

Relevant Words of God:
The meaning of incarnation is that God appears in the flesh, and He comes to work among man of His creation in the image of a flesh. So, for God to be incarnated, He must first be flesh, flesh with normal humanity; this, at the very least, must be true. In fact, the implication of God’s incarnation is that God lives and works in the flesh, God in His very essence becomes flesh, becomes a man.
from “The Essence of the Flesh Inhabited by God” in The Word Appears in the Flesh
When you see the scene that the Lord was crucified, what do you think of?
Christ’s substance is determined by His work and expressions. With a heart that is true, He completes what’s entrusted, worships God in heaven and seeks His Father’s will. This is all determined by His substance, and so too are His natural revelations. So called because His expressions aren’t imitations, or from years of man’s cultivation or education. They are not learned or self-adorned, but inherent. Ah … They are not learned or self-adorned, but inherent. Ah …

was the great architect of the ancient Greek cultures?
