壹 我们借着享受基督作生命的供应，而活在神圣三一里： |
Ⅰ We live in the Divine Trinity by enjoying Christ as our life supply: |
一 主在复活那天将自己作为圣灵（圣气）吹入祂的门徒里面；（约二十22；）现今我们能不断接受是灵的基督作为神的气，使祂能借着我们呼求祂的名，对我们成为丰富的；（哀三55~56，创四26，罗十12~13，诗歌二一一首；）我们也能吸入圣经，神的话，就是神的呼出；（提后三16；）因着祂所说的话是生命之灵的具体化，我们借着操练灵接受祂的话时，就得着是生命的那灵。（约六57，63。） |
A The Lord breathed Himself as the Holy Spirit (the Holy Breath) into His disciples on the day of His resurrection (John 20:22); now we can continually receive the pneumatic Christ as the breath of God so that He can become rich to us by our calling upon His name (Lam. 3:55-56; Gen. 4:26; Rom. 10:12-13; Hymns, #254); we can also inhale the Scripture, the word of God, as the breathing out of God (2 Tim. 3:16); because His spoken words are the embodiment of the Spirit of life, when we receive His words by exercising our spirit, we get the Spirit, who is life (John 6:57, 63). |
晨兴喂养
约六63 赐人生命的乃是灵，肉是无益的；我对你们所说的话，就是灵，就是生命。 林前十二13 …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。 在家中生活最重要的就是吃。在家里没有什么像食物那样重要。我们若要活在神圣三一里，住在神圣三一里，以神圣三一为我们的家，我们就必须享受基督作我们的食物。〔约六57下~58。〕祂是我们的食物。祂是可吃的，因为现今祂是在复活里。…现今基督适合我们来吃。祂成就了死与复活之后，就完全适合我们来吃祂。因为祂活在复活里，祂就适合我们生机地来吃祂。（李文集一九八八年第一册，四八二至四八三页。） |
John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. 1 Cor. 12:13 …In one Spirit we were all baptized into one Body…and were all given to drink one Spirit. The most important thing in living in a home is eating. In the home nothing is as crucial as food. If we are going to live in the Divine Trinity, to abide in the Divine Trinity as our home, we must enjoy Christ as our food. We need to live by Christ as our life supply [cf. John 6:57b-58]. He is our food. He is eatable because He is now in resurrection…. Now Christ is good for us to eat. After accomplishing death and resurrection, He became perfected for us to eat Him. Because He is living in resurrection, He is good for us to eat organically. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 1, “Living in and with the Divine Trinity,” p. 348) |
信息选读
大多数的基督徒都忽略灵，把圣经当作字句的书。主耶稣曾说，“我对你们所说的话，就是灵，就是生命。”（约六63。）不仅如此，…圣经的每个字都是神所呼出之气的一部分。因此，我们不只该研读主的话，也该吸入具体化在话里的神圣之气。〔提后三16。〕我们若不借着运用我们的灵，吸入神圣的气，就不会从研读圣经得着生命。但我们吸入神的气，就被神圣、属天、并属灵的元素点活。…我们感谢主，给我们看见在读主的话上，需要运用我们的眼睛、我们的心思、和我们的灵。我们可以说，我们用眼睛接触话的体，用心思接触话的魂，并借着运用灵祷告话，而接受话的灵。然后我们不仅领会某段圣经的意义，也吸入神圣的气，以接受生命的供应。（提摩太后书生命读经，六三至六四页。） 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。，这享受的目标，是要产生召会，作神的扩增，神的扩大，好成为神的丰满，使祂得着彰显。这是神在祂经纶里的心愿，喜悦。（弗一5，9。）这思想的完满发展是在新约里，但其种子是撒在耶利米二章十三节。…在林前十章三至四节，保罗用旧约的预表，不仅说到喝，也说到吃。…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。） 在复活里生命水的涌流，乃是为着形成基督的身体。（林前十二13。）因着我们都喝一位灵，我们能成为一个身体。在复活里喝一位灵，使我们成为身体的肢体，并且把我们建造成为身体。 在复活里活水的涌流也是为着预备基督的新妇。按照启示录二十二章十七节，那灵和新妇发出呼召，要人来喝生命水。新妇借着喝而预备好，新妇所喝的水就是那灵。借着喝那灵，新妇与那灵成为一。这不该仅仅是道理或教训，而该是我们在日常生活中所实行的事。我们若天天喝活水，基督的身体就得以建造，基督的新妇也得以预备好。（出埃及记生命读经，五七三至五七四页。） 参读：提摩太后书生命读经，第六篇；教师训练，第二章。 |
Most Christians neglect the spirit and take the Bible as a book of letters. The Lord Jesus once said, “The words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life” (John 6:63). Furthermore, … every word of the Bible is part of God’s breath. Thus, we should not only study the Word, but also breathe in the divine breath embodied in the Word [cf. 2 Tim. 3:16]. If we do not breathe the divine breath by exercising our spirit, we shall not receive life from our study of the Bible. But when we breathe in God’s breath, we are enlivened by a divine, heavenly, and spiritual element. We thank the Lord for showing us that in reading the Word we need to exercise our eyes, our mind, and our spirit. We may say that with the eyes we contact the body of the Word, that with our mind we contact the soul of the Word, and through the exercise of our spirit to pray the Word, we contact the spirit of the Word. Then we not only understand the meaning of a certain portion of Scripture; we also inhale the divine breath to receive the life supply. (Life-study of 2 Timothy, p. 53) God’s intention in His economy is to be the fountain, the source, of living waters to satisfy His chosen people for their enjoyment. The goal of this enjoyment is to produce the church as God’s increase, God’s enlargement, to be God’s fullness for His expression. This is the heart’s desire, the good pleasure (Eph. 1:5, 9), of God in His economy. The full development of this thought is in the New Testament, but it is sown as a seed in Jeremiah 2:13. In 1 Corinthians 10:3 and 4 Paul, using the Old Testament types, speaks not only of drinking but also of eating….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, pp. 17-18) The flowing of the water of life in resurrection is for the formation of the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13). Because we all drink of the same Spirit, we can be one Body. Drinking of the one Spirit in resurrection makes us members of the Body and builds us up as the Body. The flowing of the living water in resurrection is also for the preparation of the bride of Christ. According to Revelation 22:17, the Spirit and the bride sound forth the call to come and drink of the water of life. The bride is prepared by drinking. The water which the bride drinks is the Spirit. By drinking the Spirit, the bride becomes one with the Spirit. This should not be a mere doctrine or teaching, but should be something we practice in our daily living. If we drink of the living water day by day, the Body of Christ will be built up, and the bride of Christ will be prepared.
