A few years ago I asked myself this question, “Was Witness Lee a spiritual man?” By this term I understand those men who are full of God’s Spirit. When you meet them, you feel something special about them. You feel God’s Love, Peace and Compassion shining through them upon you. What about Witness Lee, the man who believed he had been given authority to recover “fallen” Christianity?
I have never met him personally. But I have read his books. I have seen his videos. To me he looks like a scholar/lecturer/prolific author, i.e. a man of knowledge, but not a man of spiritual strength. His knowledge is just facts, skills and information. It’s his theoretical understanding of a subject; while spiritual strength is not information but love.
Brothers, I do not want to condemn Witness Lee, but does anybody want Witness Lee to be his pattern? Do we want to be like him? No way. We want Jesus Christ to be our pattern. Why do leeists follow WL then? Look at their leaders. Do they resemble Witness Lee or Jesus Christ? I do not mean their look. I mean their hearts.
Please check this video. It’s an interview with Father Tadej (an elder and monk) from the Orthodox Church. He was a humble Christian monk. He did not create his own church. He did not teach anything about oneness, the “Body” and other Lord’s recovery “high-peak” truth. His high-peak truth was so simple that he did not look like a man of knowledge. But he had something else. And in my opinion, that’s the core of Christian teachings. He had love in his heart. Look at the eyes of this humble man. He looks like an overcomer more than any Local Church leader.
