３ 吃主这话，就是接受祂作我们生命的供应；祂是生命的粮给我们吃—48、51节。 |
３ To eat the Lord as the word is to take Him in as our life supply; He is the bread of life for us to eat—vv. 48, 51. |
４ 吃主的路就是祷告主的话；祷读神的话就是运用我们的灵吃这话—弗六17~18。 |
４ The way to eat the Lord is to pray the Word; to pray-read the Word of God is to exercise our spirit to eat the word—Eph. 6:17-18. |
５ 我们越吃神的话，就越被基督构成并浸透—加四19，弗三17，西三4、10~11。 |
５ The more we eat God’s words, the more we will be constituted and saturated with Christ—Gal. 4:19; Eph. 3:17; Col. 3:4,10-11. |
６ 我们吃主耶稣时，需要有正确的属灵消化—结二8~三3，耶十五16，启十9~10： |
６ As we eat the Lord Jesus, we need to have proper spiritual digestion—Ezek. 2:8—3:3; Jer. 15:16; Rev. 10:9-10: |
ａ 我们若有好的消化，食物就能畅通无阻地进入我们里面之人的各部分—弗三16~17上。 |
ａ If we have good digestion, there will be a thoroughfare for the food to get into every part of our inward being—Eph. 3:16-17a. |
ｂ 消化不良，意思就是基督这属灵的食物无法在我们里面通过—来三12~13、15，四2。 |
ｂ Indigestion means that there is no way for Christ as the spiritual food to get into our inward parts—Heb. 3:12-13, 15; 4:2. |
ｃ 我们必须使我们全人同我们里面所有的部分，一直向主敞开，使属灵的食物在我们里面畅通无阻；我们若如此行，就会有正确的消化和吸收，吸取基督作属灵的养分，并且基督会成为我们的构成成分—西三4、10~11。 |
ｃ We need to keep our whole being with all our inward parts open to the Lord so that the spiritual food will have a thoroughfare within us; if we do this, we will have proper digestion and assimilation, we will absorb Christ as spiritual nourishment, and Christ will become our constituent—Col. 3:4, 10-11. |
７ 因为我们吃什么就成为什么，我们若吃神作我们的食物，我们就与神成为一，甚至在生命和性情上成为神，但无分于神格—约一1、14，六32~33、48、51、57。 |
７ Because we are what we eat, if we eat God as our food, we will be one with God and even become God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead—John 1:1, 14; 6:32-33, 48, 51, 57. |
晨兴喂养
约六48~51 我就是生命的粮。……这是从天上降下来的粮，叫人吃了就不死。我是从天上降下来的活粮，人若吃这粮，就必永远活着。我所要赐的粮，就是我的肉，为世人的生命所赐的。 我们所吃的这位主作我们的食物，祂是灵。那我们用什么来吃祂呢？用我们的灵来吃。主是灵，我们用我们的灵来吃祂。怎样吃祂？呼求“哦，主啊！哦，主啊！”呼求主就是吃主。圣经清楚给我们看见，主作我们的食物，我们需要吃祂。祂这食物，就是灵，我们吃祂的机关也是灵，而我们的吃法就是呼喊主名（李文集一九七二年第一册，三三页）。 |
John 6:48-51 I am the bread of life….This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread which I will give is My flesh, given for the life of the world. The Lord whom we eat as our food is the Spirit. Therefore, which organ do we use to eat Him? We use our spirit to eat Him. The Lord is Spirit, so we must use our spirit to eat Him. How do we eat Him? By calling, “0 Lord! 0 Lord!” To call on the Lord is to eat Him. The Bible clearly shows us that the Lord is our food, and we must eat Him. As the Spirit He is our food. The organ by which we eat Him is also the spirit. Moreover, the way to eat Him is by calling on the Lord’s name. Calling on the Lord is eating the Lord. (CWWL, 1972, vol. 1, “Eating the Lord,” p. 26) |
信息选读
〔约翰六章给我们看见〕主作生命之粮的五个特征。祂是属天的粮（41、50~51、58）、神的粮（33）、生命的粮（35、48）、活粮（51）、真粮（32）。就着生命的粮而言，基督是有永远生命、有“奏厄”（zoe）的粮。就着真粮、实际的粮而言，祂是我们每天所吃食物的实际。……因此，我们需要借着主的话享受基督这活粮。 六章有六段话论到基督是生命的粮（32~71）。在第一段（32~51上），我们看见基督这生命的粮成了肉体。在三十三节基督自称是神的粮，就是从天上降下来赐生命给世人的。虽然基督是神，祂却成为肉体，为要成为生命的粮给我们吃（李文集一九八二年第二册，二七○至二七一页）。 好的消化让食物在整个身体里有自由的通路。最好的消化，在于进入我们胃里的食物有自由的通道进入我们全身的系统。这给我们最好的滋养。另一面，由于某种阻塞，我们的食物在我们里面没有自由通道的时候，我们就消化不良。……祷读是美妙的，但我们也必须祷告：“主啊，在我里面清理道路。主啊，在我里面得着自由的通道。”祷读不是帮助我们仅仅得着知识，乃是将许多属于主的东西带进我们里面。因此，我们需要在我们里面让属于主的东西有自由的通道。这会使我们有上好的属灵消化，吸收我们所祷读的。绝不要对主说不，要学习一直向主说阿们。 不论我们是否领会我们所祷读的，祷读总是把一些属于主的东西带进我们里面。这些东西进入我们里面，就需要自由的通道。因此，我们必须总是说，阿们。主、话与那灵，乃是一。主就是话，话就是那灵，那灵也就是主。我们得着话进入我们里面，我们就得着那灵，也得着主。……我们若祷读十分钟，也许没有多少领会，但我们会感觉有个东西在我们里面。我们可以说这是话，我们也可以说这是那灵，或者我们可以说这是主。无论我们用什么辞，总会有个东西在我们里面运行，并调整我们。 我们祷读以后，也许想要去钓鱼，但我们里面有个东西指明我们不该去。这是话，是那灵，或是主？很难说。这甚至不是“微小柔细的声音”（王上十九12）。在基督教里，许多人喜欢谈论微小柔细的声音，但那是旧约的事。在我们里面所有的，不是像“不要”或“要”这样的声音或明言。在我们里面乃是有个感觉，指明我们不该去。那时候我们该作什么？我们必须说，“阿们，主。阿们。”（李文集一九七一年第四册，五三至五四页） 参读：主的恢复—吃，第一篇；借着祷告享受基督是话又是灵，第六章。 |
[John 6 gives] five characteristics of the Lord as the bread of life. He is the heavenly bread (vv. 41, 50, 51, 58), the bread of God (v. 33), the bread of life (vv. 35, 48), the living bread (v. 51), and the true bread (v. 32). As the bread of life, Christ is the bread with eternal life, with zoe. As the true bread, the real bread, He is the reality of the food we eat daily….Therefore, through the Word we need to feed on Christ as the living bread. In chapter 6…there are six sections related to Christ as the bread of life (vv. 32-71). In the first of these sections (vv. 32-51a), we see that Christ, the bread of life, was incarnated. In verse 33 Christ refers to Himself as the bread of God, who came down out of heaven and gives life to the world. Although Christ is the very God, He became flesh in order to be the bread of life for us to eat. (CWWL, 1982, vol. 2, “The Fulfillment of the Tabernacle and the Offerings in the Writings of John,” p. 211) The best digestion occurs when the food that gets into our stomach has a free course to get into our whole system. This affords us the best nourishment. On the other hand, we have indigestion when due to some blockage our food does not have a free course in us. Pray-reading is wonderful, but we also have to pray, “Lord, clear a way within me. O Lord, have a free course within me.” Pray-reading does not help us to obtain mere knowledge; rather, it brings many things of the Lord into us. Therefore, we need to give the things of the Lord a free course within us. This affords us the best spiritual digestion, assimilating what we have pray-read. Never say no to the Lord; learn always to say Amen. Whether or not we understand what we pray-read, it always brings something of the Lord into us. When these things get into us, they need a free course. Thus, we always have to say Amen. The Lord, the Word, and the Spirit are one. The Lord is the Word, the Word is the Spirit, and the Spirit is the Lord. When we get the Word into us, we have the Spirit and we have the Lord….If we pray-read for ten minutes, we may not understand much, but we will sense that something is within us. We may say that it is the Word, we may say that it is the Spirit, or we may say that it is the Lord. Whatever term we use, there will be something moving within us and adjusting us. After pray-reading, we may have the intention to go fishing, but something within us indicates that we should not go. Is it the Word, is it the Spirit, or is it the Lord? It is hard to say. It is not even a “gentle, quiet voice” (1 Kings 19:12). In Christianity many like to talk about the gentle, quiet voice, but that is something of the Old Testament. What is within us is not a voice or a clear word such as “don’t” or “do.” There is simply a sensation within us, indicating that we should not go. What should we do at that time? We have to say, “Amen, Lord. Amen.” (CWWL, 1971, vol. 4, “Enjoying the Riches of Christ for the Building Up of the Church as the Body of Christ,” p. 39) Further Reading: CWWL, 1972, vol. 1, “The Lord’s Recovery of Eating,” ch. 1; CWWL, 1965, vol. 3, “Enjoying Christ as the Word and the Spirit through Prayer,” ch. 6 |
