祷读经节
徒二46~47 他们天天同心合意,坚定持续地在殿里,并且挨家挨户擘饼,存着欢跃单纯的心用饭,赞美神,在众民面前有恩典。主将得救的人,天天和他们加在一起。 |
Acts 2:46-47 And day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with exultation and simplicity of heart, Praising God and having grace with all the people. And the Lord added together day by day those who were being saved. |
彼此互相乃是身体的特点
身体尽功用乃是彼此互相的。彼此互相乃是身体的特点。…每一位基督徒,在聚会中都有他的一分,需要供应给别的肢体;这样的供应就是肢体的职事,就是肢体的功用,也就是生命的交通。每一个肢体都不能停止这样的交通,你若停止这样的交通,生命就不流通,你就成了身体的重担。…物质身体的一个肢体一旦不尽功用,身体就受损失;照样,在基督的身体里也是如此(基督的奥秘,二八至二九页)。 |
The functioning of the Body is mutual. Mutuality is the characteristic of the Body…. Every Christian should have a part in the meeting and render supply to other members. This kind of supply is the ministry of the members and the function of the members. It is also the fellowship of life. No member should cut himself off from this fellowship. If you stop this fellowship, life will stop flowing, and you will become a burden to the Body…. In the physical body no member can cease functioning without there being a loss to the whole body. This is also true in the Body of Christ. (The Mystery of Christ, pp 28-29) |
擘饼聚会
“七日的第一日,我们聚集擘饼。”(徒二十7。)我们蒙主救赎的人,该有的第一种聚会,就是擘饼聚会。〔擘饼是吃主的晚餐,记念为我们受死的主。〕别的聚会,都是重在叫我们有所得着,惟有擘饼聚会,是重在叫主有所得着(圣经要道卷三,六二八至六二九页)。 擘饼聚会不是为着别的,乃是为着记念主,以记念主为中心,叫主得着享受。无论是唱诗、祷告、读经或灵感的话,都该是以主为中心,说到主的身位和工作,主的恩爱和美德,主在世上的生活或苦难,或是主在天上的尊贵或荣耀,好叫人想到或看见这些,以记念主自己。在这样聚会中,我们该在心里想到主,在灵里瞻仰主,使我们里面对主有灵感,而在外面借着诗歌、祷告、读经、或话语发表出来,好将整个聚会的感觉,都带到主身上。 擘饼聚会是信徒敬拜的聚会。按着神救恩里先接受主,后亲近父的程序,我们在这敬拜聚会中,应当先记念主,后敬拜父。前一段记念主,是以记念主为中心。后一段敬拜父,是以敬拜父为中心,一切的祷告、诗歌或话语,都该是向着父的。 |
“And on the first day of the week, when we gathered together to break bread….” (Acts 20:7) The meeting we who are redeemed by the Lord should firstly have is the bread-breaking meeting. [Bread-breaking is to eat the Lord's supper, to remember the Lord who died for us.] Other meetings are for us to receive something. Only the bread-breaking meeting is for the Lord to receive something. (The Crucial Points in the Bible, Vol. 3, pp 628-629) The bread breaking meeting is not for anything other than remembering the Lord with the remembrance of the Lord as its center for the Lord's enjoyment. Everything in this meeting, whether hymn singing, prayer, Bible reading, or words of inspiration, should take the Lord as the center, speaking either concerning His person and work, His love and virtues, His living or suffering on the earth, or His honor or glory in heaven, that others may consider or realize these things in order to remember the Lord Himself. In such a meeting, we should think of the Lord in our hearts and behold the Lord in our spirit that we would be inspired concerning the Lord. Then we will express our inspiration through songs, prayers, reading of the Bible, or words, that the feeling of the entire meeting would be directed to the Lord and that all would remember the Lord. The meeting for the breaking of bread is a meeting for the believers' worship. According to the procedure in God's salvation, we first receive the Lord and then draw near to the Father. Thus, in this meeting for worship, we should first remember the Lord and then worship the Father. The center of the section of remembering the Lord is the remembrance of the Lord, and the center of the section of worshipping the Father is the worship of the Father, where all the prayers, hymns, and words should be directed toward the Father. |
申言聚会
“每逢你们聚在一起的时候,各人或有诗歌,或有教训,或有启示,或有方言,或有翻出来的话,凡事都当为建造。”(林前十四26。)这里所说的聚会,是运用属灵的恩赐,彼此建造的聚会。在这种聚会中,不是有一个专人一定作什么,乃是大家都〔随圣灵的引导,〕运用属灵的恩赐,或有诗歌,或有教训,或有启示,或作这事,或作那事,人人都可有分,目的是为着建造人,造就人(生命课程卷二,一○二至一○三、一一○、九七至九八页)。 照我们的经历和观察,建造召会最好的路是申言,就是为基督说话,并说出基督,将基督供应并分赐到人里面。 林前十四章三十一节说,“因为你们都能一个一个地申言。”这一节是整本圣经里最清楚的经文之一。这一节说所有的信徒都能申言,都有申言的性能。性能是指天生的才能。…我们是基督身体的肢体,都能一个一个地申言。…在聚会中众肢体都能申言(24,31)。(申言的实行,六至七页。) |
“Whenever you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up” (1 Cor. 14:26). The meeting mentioned here is for the exercise of spiritual gifts and for mutual building up. In this kind of meeting, there is not a special person doing a specific thing, but everyone is exercising the spiritual gifts; one has a psalm, one has a teaching, one has a revelation, one does this, and another does that. Each one may participate with the goal of building up and edifying others. (Life Lessons, Vol. 2, pp 102-103, 110, 97-98) According to our experience and observation, the best way to build the church is to prophesy, that is, to speak for Christ and to speak forth Christ, ministering and dispensing Christ into people. First Corinthians 14:31 says, "For you can all prophesy one by one." This verse is one of the clearest verses in the entire Bible. It says that all the believers have the capacity to prophesy. Capacity denotes ability by birth…. We, members of the Body of Christ, all can prophesy one by one…. In the meetings all the members can prophesy (1 Cor. 14:24, 31). (The Practice of Prophesying, pp 6-7) |
