为着主的来临将自己预备好
㈠我们要为着主的来临将自己预备好,就需要爱主耶稣,以祂为生命,活祂,显大祂,等候祂来,并且爱祂的显现;这是我们该有的心愿和生活。
①In order to make ourselves ready for the Lord's coming, we need to love the Lord Jesus, take Him as our life, live Him, magnify Him, await His coming, and love His appearing; this should be our heart's desire and our living.
㈡我们要为着主的来临将自己预备好,就必须留意申言者的话,如同留意照在暗处的灯,直等到天发亮,基督作为晨星在我们心里隐秘地出现并显现。
②In order to make ourselves ready for the Lord's coming, we must give heed to the prophetic word as to a lamp shining in a dark place until the day dawns and Christ as the morning star secretly rises and appears in our hearts.
㈢我们要为着主的来临将自己预备好,就需要享受祂作我们属灵的食物,使我们能喂养别人;当我们借着各样的祷告接受祂的话,并且当我们默想祂的话,就是反复思想以品尝并享受祂的话,我们就能享受祂。
③In order to make ourselves ready for the Lord's coming, we need to enjoy Him as our spiritual food so that we can feed others; we can enjoy Him when we receive His word by means of all prayer and when we muse on His word, which is to taste and enjoy His word with much reconsideration.
㈣我们要为着主的来临将自己预备好,就需要有日日得更新之复兴的生活,并带着父神爱和赦免的心以及救主基督牧养和寻找的灵,从事牧养的工作。
④In order to make ourselves ready for the Lord's coming, we need to have a revived living of being renewed day by day and a labor of shepherding with the loving and forgiving heart of our Father God and the shepherding and seeking spirit of our Savior Christ.
