路十一2~3　耶稣说，你们祷告的时候，要说，父啊，愿你的名被尊为圣，愿你的国来临。我们日用的食物，天天赐给我们。

　　　13　你们虽然不好，尚且知道把好东西给儿女，何况天上的父，岂不更将圣灵给求祂的人么？

　　我们许多人都有这样的经历，当你一个人觉得枯干、碰壁的时候，你需要别的弟兄姊妹为你代祷，那种情形才可以过去。有一次，我病了一百七十六日。我自己每天为这病祷告，但是一直不见效。等我力气都用尽了，就请一位我素来看不起的弟兄来为我祷告。希奇的是，不久之后，我就得着他代祷的帮助，病就渐渐好了。……基督身体的供应是实际的事。许多事情，你一个人再有力，再用力，就是无法过去，但是你一把事情摆在身体里，希奇，事情就能过去了。这就是基督身体的供应。……我们这些身体上的肢体也是透过其他的肢体，而得着供应的。因此，与别的肢体分开乃是愚昧的（基督的奥秘，二○至二一页）。

　　Luke 11:2-3 "And He said to them, When you pray, say, Father, Your name be sanctified; Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread."

　　Luke 11:13 "If you then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

　　Many of us have the experience that when we are dry and have no way to go on, we need other brothers and sisters to intercede for us before we can get through. Once I was sick for one hundred seventy-six days. I prayed for my own sickness every day, but it did not work. When I became exhausted, I asked a brother whom I did not think too highly of to pray for me. Amazingly, I received help from his intercession, and my condition became better within a short period of time.…The supply of the Body of Christ is a reality. You cannot get through in many things no matter how much you struggle. But once you give the matter to the Body, the problem is solved. This is the supply of the Body of Christ.…As members in the Body, we receive our supply through the other members. Therefore, it is foolish to try to separate ourselves from the other members. (CWWN, vol. 44, “The Mystery of Christ, “pp. 800-801)

　　在路加十一章一至十三节，人救主教导祷告。我们若一再细读这段话，就会看见祷告的意思乃是把我们自己祷告到神里面。……门徒看见主祷告，就要祂教导他们祷告。于是主接着说，“你们祷告的时候，要说，父啊，愿你的名被尊为圣，愿你的国来临。我们日用的食物，天天赐给我们；赦免我们的罪，因为我们也赦免凡亏欠我们的人；不叫我们陷入试诱。”（2~4）……我们若一再这样祷告，结果我们会把自己祷告到神里面。……我们一旦把自己祷告到神里面，我们在神里面又该作什么？我们只要把祂和祂的丰富接受到我们里面。……我们需要把我们自己祷告到神里面，然后我们在神里面，就能接受祂和祂的丰富。……我们不需要详细地为我们的缺点祷告。……“父，赦免我，因为我赦免别人”，这祷告就包括了一切。你越这样祷告，就越晓得你是把自己祷告到神里面。于是你在神里面就会得着生命的供应。……十一至十三节指明生命的供应：“你们中间作父亲的，谁有儿子求鱼，反拿蛇当鱼给他？或求鸡蛋，反给他蝎子？你们虽然不好，尚且知道把好东西给儿女，何况天上的父，岂不更将圣灵给求祂的人么？”这里鱼、鸡蛋和圣灵指明生命的供应。五节的饼也指明生命的供应。我们若把饼包括在内，就有四项生命的供应。当我们把自己祷告到神里面，我们就能接受祂的丰富作我们的供应。……当我们停留在祂里面，就接受祂的丰富，就是化身在祂灵里的丰富。当我们接受圣灵作我们生命的供应（由饼、鱼和鸡蛋所表征），我们就能喂养自己，也能喂养一切受我们照顾的人（路加福音生命读经，二六四至二六七、二七○页）。

　　每一个基督徒都要知道，他自己不过是一个肢体，他如果没有别的肢体，就活不了。在身体里，每一个肢体乃是和别的肢体合起来，才成功为一个身体；在身体里的各个肢体乃是彼此相联，不能分割的。肢体与肢体之间，必须彼此供应，互相联络，才能生存。因此，一个基督徒若过着单独的生活，他迟早要软弱，迟早要枯干。……如果我们要跟随主往前，我们必须认识祂在身体里所给我们的供应，我们必须应用这些供应。借着这样身体的肢体间彼此的倚靠，整个身体就得着建造（基督的奥秘，一九页）。

　　参读：路加福音生命读经，第二十七篇。

　　In Luke 11:1-13 we have the Man-Savior's teaching on prayer. If we read this section carefully again and again, we shall see that prayer means that we pray ourselves into God. When the disciples saw [the Lord] praying, they wanted Him to teach them to pray. Then the Lord went on to say, “When you pray, say, Father, Your name be sanctified; Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone indebted to us. And do not bring us into temptation” (vv. 2-4).…If we would pray this way again and again, the result will be that we shall pray ourselves into God.… What shall we do now that we are in God? We shall simply receive Him with His riches into us.…We need to pray ourselves into God and then, as those in Him, receive Him and His riches.

　　There is no need to pray in detail concerning our shortcomings.…The prayer, “Father, forgive me as I forgive others, ” is inclusive. The more you pray like this, the more you will realize that you pray yourself into God. Then in God you will receive the life supply. The life supply is indicated in verses 11 through 13: “But what father among you whose son shall ask for a fish will instead of a fish hand him a snake? Or if he shall also ask for an egg will hand him a scorpion? If you then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” Here the life supply is indicated by the fish, the egg, and the Holy Spirit. In verse 5 it is indicated by the loaves. If we include the loaves, we have four items of the life supply. When we pray ourselves into God, we receive His riches as our supply. As we remain in Him, we receive His riches, the riches that are embodied in His Spirit. When we receive the Holy Spirit as our life supply, signified by the loaves, the fish, and the egg, we can feed ourselves, and we can also feed all those under our care. (Life-study of Luke, pp. 230-232, 234)

　　Every Christian should know that he is only a member. If he does not have the other members, he will not survive. In the Body all the members must be joined together before they can become the Body. All the members in the Body are related to one another, and they cannot be separated from one another. Between the members there must be a mutual supply and a mutual relatedness. Only then can the members survive. If a Christian lives an independent life, sooner or later he will weaken and dry up.…In order to go on with the Lord, we must recognize His supply for us in the Body and avail ourselves of it. The whole Body is built up through the interdependence among the members.(CWWN, vol. 44, “The Mystery of Christ, “p. 799)
