太十一28~29 凡劳苦担重担的，可以到我这里来，我必使你们得安息。……你们要负我的轭，……你们魂里就必得安息。

　　林前十3　 并且都吃了一样的灵食。

　　基督不但是我们的生命和一切，祂也是宇宙中每一正面事物的实际。我们所见、所尝并所摸的一切物质事物都不是真实的。这些仅仅是表号和影儿，其实际乃是基督自己。我们每天所吃的食物不是真实的。我们若没有基督，就必定饥饿，没有食物。……基督是为着我们的灵、我们的魂和我们身体的真食物。圣经告诉我们，人活着不是单靠食物，乃是靠神口里所出的一切话；圣经也告诉我们，基督自己就是神的话（太四4，约一1）。……按同样的原则，我们知道基督是我们的真生命。我们从父母所接受肉身的生命不是真生命。我们若没有基督，就没有生命；我们只是死了的人。这就是约壹五章十二节所清楚陈述的，这节说，“人有了神的儿子，就有生命；没有神的儿子，就没有生命。”神在祂永远的计划里，立了基督作我们的真食物，我们的真生命，和宇宙中一切正面事物的实际（神的奥秘与基督的奥秘，六九页）。

　　Matt. 11:28-29 Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you...and you will find rest for your souls.

　　1 Cor. 10:3 And all ate the same spiritual food.

　　Christ is not only our life and everything; He is also the reality of every positive thing in the universe. All the physical things that we see, taste, and touch are not real. They are merely figures and shadows, the reality of which is Christ Himself. The food that we eat every day is not real. If we do not have Christ, we are surely hungry and without food.... Christ is the real food for our spirit, our soul, and our body. The Scriptures reveal that man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds out through the mouth of God and also that Christ Himself is the Word of God (Matt. 4:4; John 1:1)....According to the same principle, we know that Christ is our real life. The physical life that we received from our parents is not the real life. If we do not have Christ, we do not have life; we are just dead people. This is clearly stated in 1 John 5:12, which says, “He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.” In His eternal plan God has made Christ to be our real food, our real life, and the reality of all positive things in the universe.

　　基督是一切，这个事实对我们不能单单是道理，乃必须实化在我们的经历中。……我们需要领悟，基督才是我们的真心思（林前二16）。……我们也许以为我们有智慧，但我们必须领悟，我们的智慧算不得什么。基督才是真智慧（一30）。……我们也许有一些知识，但基督是唯一的真知识（西二3）。……我们也许有爱，但我们必须领悟，基督才是真爱（罗八39，林后五14，弗三19，提前一14）。……我们也许以为我们有忍耐，但真忍耐乃是基督自己（参加五22）。……有神，但这位神在基督里。……有人，但这人在基督里（约一14，林前十五47）。……有子，这位子就是基督。……有生命，但唯有基督是真生命（约十四6）。……有光，这光就是基督自己（八12）。每天早晨我们穿上衣裳，我们感觉基督是我们的真遮盖、真衣裳么？（罗十三14，加三27）我们预备上床躺下，我们感觉基督是我们的真安息、真床铺么？（太十一28）我们在回家的路上，感觉主是我们的家、我们的居所么？（参诗九十1，约十五4）我们上楼梯时，领悟基督是我们的真梯子，在祂以外，我们既不能上去，也不能下来么？（参一51）我们出门，有没有告诉主：“主，你是我的门，是我的入口和出口”？（十9）我们有没有经历基督作这一切项目的实际？我们能不能告诉主：“主，你是我的日头、我的月亮和我的道路”？（玛四2，西二16~17，约十四6）我们的目标不仅仅是照着印出来的白纸黑字领会圣经。反之，我们来到神的活话前，是要得着基督是一切的深刻感觉，并且被带进这经历。这就是神在已过的永远里所计划的，这也是神今天所作的。虽然主的儿女很少人领悟这点，但神的心意乃是要基督作我们的一切。既然这是神的心意，我们就必须学习实际经历、接触并应用基督的路（神的奥秘与基督的奥秘，七○至七一页）。

　　The fact that Christ is everything cannot simply be a doctrine to us; it must be realized in our experience....We need the realization that Christ is our real mind (1 Cor. 2:16).... We may think that we have wisdom, but we have to realize that our wisdom is nothing. Christ is the real wisdom (1:30).... We may have some knowledge, but Christ is the only real knowledge (Col. 2:3)....We may have love, but we have to realize that Christ is the real love (Rom. 8:39; 2 Cor. 5:14; Eph. 3:19; 1 Tim. 1:14)....We may think that we have patience, but real patience is Christ Himself (cf. Gal. 5:22)....There is a God, but this God is in Christ....There is man, but this man is in Christ (John 1:14; 1 Cor. 15:47)....There is a Son, and this Son is Christ....There is life, but only Christ is the real life (John 14:6)....There is light, and this light is Christ Himself (8:12). Every morning when we put on our clothes, do we have the sense that Christ is our real covering and our real clothing (Rom. 13:14; Gal. 3:27)? When we are preparing to lie down on our bed, do we have the realization that Christ is our true rest, our real bed (Matt. 11:28)? When we are on our way home, do we have the feeling that the Lord is our home, our dwelling place (cf. Psa. 90:1; John 15:4)? When we are walking upstairs, do we realize that Christ is our real stairs and that apart from Him we can neither go up nor down (cf. 1:51)? When we are going out of a door, do we tell the Lord, “Lord, You are my door, my entrance and my exit” (10:9)? Do we experience Christ as the reality of all these items? Can we tell the Lord, “Lord, You are my sun, my moon, and my way” (Mal. 4:2; Col. 2:16-17; John 14:6)? Our goal is not merely to understand the Bible according to the printed black and white letters. Rather, we are coming to the living Word of God to gain the deep sense that Christ is everything and to be brought into this experience. This is what God planned in eternity past, and this is what God is doing today. Although very few of the Lord’s children realize this, God’s intention is that Christ would be everything to us. Since this is God’s intention, we must learn the practical way to experience, contact, and apply Christ. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, “The Mystery of God and the Mystery of Christ,” pp. 158-159)
