耶二13 因为我的百姓，作了两件恶事，就是离弃我这活水的泉源，为自己凿出池子，是破裂不能存水的池子。

　　出十七6 我必在何烈的磐石那里，站在你面前；你要击打磐石，就必有水从磐石流出来，使百姓可以喝。摩西就在以色列的长老眼前这样行了。

　　全本圣经，包括耶利米书，都是为着神的经纶写的。在……耶利米书生命读经里，我的负担是要你们看见，主从祂的话中所指示我关于神经纶的事。你若看见这异象，你的生活会受到影响，主的恢复也会得以丰富。……在耶利米二章十三节，神对耶和华的选民以色列说话，论到他们所作的两件恶事。……神在祂经纶里的心意，是要作活水的泉源，源头，以满足祂的选民，作他们的享受（耶利米书生命读经，二○至二一页）。

　　Jer. 2:13 For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, to hew out for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, which hold no water.

　　Exo. 17:6 I will be standing before you there upon the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it so that the people may drink. And Moses did so…

　　The entire Bible, including the book of Jeremiah, was written for God’s economy. My burden in this life-study of Jeremiah is that you would see what the Lord has shown me from the Word concerning God’s economy. If you see this vision, your life will be affected, and the Lord’s recovery will be enriched. In Jeremiah 2:13 we have God’s word to Israel, the elect of Jehovah, concerning two evils which they have committed. God’s intention in His economy is to be the fountain, the source, of living waters to satisfy His chosen people for their enjoyment. (Life-study of Jeremiah, p. 17)

　　神的经纶是要将祂自己作活水分赐出来，以产生祂的扩增，祂的扩大，成为祂的彰显。

　　这思想借着保罗的著作得着加强。譬如，林前十二章十三节说，“我们……都已经在一位灵里受浸，成了一个身体，且都得以喝一位灵。”在那灵里受浸，乃是进入那灵，消失在祂里面；喝那灵，乃是把那灵接受进来，使我们全人被祂浸透。在十章三至四节，保罗用旧约的预表，不仅说到喝，也说到吃。“都吃了一样的灵食，也都喝了一样的灵水；所喝的是出于随行的灵磐石，那磐石就是基督。”灵食指吗哪（出十六14~18），预表基督作我们每日生命的供应；灵水指流自裂开磐石的活水（十七6），预表那流自钉死十架而复活之基督的灵，作我们包罗万有的水。我们饮于神这活水，乃是为着召会作祂的扩增；我们的喝，乃是为着产生祂的扩大，祂的丰满，使祂得着彰显（耶利米书生命读经，二一至二二页）。

　　从被击打的磐石所流出来的水，预表那灵（约七37~39）。基督借着成为肉体，来到地上作磐石。祂在十字架上被神公义律法的权柄击打，完成神的救赎。祂的肋旁被扎，流出活水给神的子民喝（十九34与注）。这活水是在复活里生命的水，就是包罗万有、赐生命的灵，作三一神终极的流出（林前十五45，见约七39注1）。这生命水的源头是神和羔羊（救赎的神）的宝座（启二二1）。因此，生命水就是涌流出来，作我们生命的三一神。活水的涌流开始于永远里的宝座，继续经过基督的成为肉体、人性生活和钉十字架（约四10、14，十九34），现今在复活里继续涌流，将神圣生命的一切丰富供应神的子民（启二二1~2）。当我们与这被击打的基督联合为一，神圣生命作为活水就从我们里面涌流出来（约七38）。在复活里生命水的涌流，乃是为着建造基督的身体（林前十二13），并预备基督的新妇（启十九7），二者都要终极完成于新耶路撒冷（二一9~10，参弗五23、28~30）。

　　我们要喝生命水，首先需要被摆在喝的地位上（林前十二13），也需要口渴（约七37，启二一6）。然后，我们需要到主这里来（约七37，启二二17），求主（约四10），相信主（七38），并呼求主的名（赛十二3~4，徒二21）（圣经恢复本，出十七6注3）。

　　参读：出埃及记生命读经，第四十篇。

　　God’s economy is to dispense Himself as the living water to produce His increase, His enlargement, to be His expression.

　　This thought is strengthened by Paul’s writings. For example, 1 Corinthians 12:13 says, “In one Spirit we were all baptized into one Body…and were all given to drink one Spirit.” To be baptized in the Spirit is to get into the Spirit and to be lost in Him; to drink the Spirit is to take the Spirit in and to have our being saturated with Him. In 1 Corinthians 10:3 and 4 Paul, using the Old Testament types, speaks not only of drinking but also of eating. “All ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed them, and the rock was Christ.” The spiritual food refers to manna (Exo. 16:14-18), typifying Christ as our daily life supply; the spiritual drink refers to the living water that flowed out of the cleft rock (Exo. 17:6), typifying the Spirit, who flowed out of the crucified and resurrected Christ as our all-inclusive drink. Our drinking of God as the living water is for the church as His increase; our drinking is for the producing of His enlargement, His fullness, for His expression. (Life-study of Jeremiah, p. 18)

　　The water flowing out of the smitten rock typifies the Spirit (John 7:37-39). Through incarnation Christ came to the earth as a rock. On the cross He was smitten by the authority of God’s righteous law to accomplish God’s redemption. His side was pierced, and living water flowed out for God’s people to drink (John 19:34 and footnote). This living water is the water of life in resurrection, the all-inclusive, life-giving Spirit as the ultimate issue of the Triune God (1 Cor. 15:45; see footnote 1 on John 7:39). The source of the water of life is the throne of God and of the Lamb—the redeeming God (Rev. 22:1). Hence, the water of life is the Triune God flowing out to be our life. The flow of the living water began from the throne in eternity, continued through the incarnation, human living, and crucifixion of Christ (John 4:10, 14; 19:34), and now flows on in resurrection to supply God’s people with all the riches of the divine life (Rev. 22:1-2). When we identify ourselves with the smitten Christ, the divine life as the living water flows out of us (John 7:38). The flowing of the water of life in resurrection is for the building up of the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13) and the preparation of the bride of Christ (Rev. 19:7), both of which will consummate in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:9-10; cf. Eph. 5:23, 28-30).

　　To drink of the water of life, we first need to be positioned to drink (1 Cor. 12:13), and we also need to be thirsty (John 7:37; Rev. 21:6). Then we need to come to the Lord (John 7:37; Rev. 22:17), to ask of the Lord (John 4:10), to believe in the Lord (John 7:38), and to call on the name of the Lord (Isa. 12:3-4; Acts 2:21). (Exo. 17:6, footnote 3)
