申十二5~7 但耶和华你们的神……所选择出来立祂名的地方，就是祂的居所，……你们要往那里去，将你们的燔祭和别的祭，十分取一之物，和手中的举祭，并还愿祭、甘心祭，以及牛群羊群中头生的，都奉到那里；在那里，耶和华你们神的面前，你们和你们的家属都可以吃，并且……就都欢乐。

　　〔看见神要我们享受祂，以及神不要我们为祂作什么，就是〕看见基督徒在神面前的故事，完全就是这个享受的故事。我们得救就是为着享受神，而我们属灵的长进，也是在于享受神。……连我们事奉神，作神的工，都在于享受神自己。神没有意思要我们为祂作什么，神完全就是要我们来享受祂自己，并且祂不是在我们身外作我们的享受，乃是完全像食物和水一样，进到我们里面给我们享受。

　　我们需要对以上两点有清楚的看见，我们就能一直学习享受祂自己，吸取祂自己，取用祂自己。只要这个观念一转了，看清楚了，要实际地过一种享受神的生活，就是一件容易的事（生命树与善恶树的异象，七三至七四页）。

　　Deut. 12:5-7 But to the place which Jehovah your God will choose…to put His name, to His habitation,… shall you go. And there you shall bring your burnt offerings and your sacrifices and your tithes and the heave offering of your hand and your vows and your freewill offerings and the firstborn of your herd…; and there you shall eat before Jehovah your God, and you and your households shall rejoice…

　　To see that God wants us to enjoy Him and that He does not want us to do anything for Him is to see that the Christian life is a matter of enjoyment. Our salvation is for us to enjoy God, and our spiritual growth depends on our enjoyment of God. Even our service and labor depend on our enjoyment of God. God has no intention for us to do something for Him; He only wants us to enjoy Him. Moreover, He is not outside of us. He has entered into us to be our enjoyment as our food and drink.

　　If we realize that God wants us to enjoy Him and that He does not want us to do anything for Him, we will be able to enjoy, absorb, and appropriate God. If our concept is changed so that we see these two points, it will be easy for us to live a life of enjoying God. (CWWL, 1958, vol. 1, “The Vision of the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,” pp. 625-626)

　　享受基督有两方面：一方面是普通的，无论我们在哪里，无论时间或地点，我们都可以享受基督。……另一方面的享受基督是享受基督顶尖的分，上好的分，初熟的或头生的；我们只有在正当的召会生活中，才能有这一方面对基督的享受。……虽然基督一直是一样的，然而祂有上好的分和一般的分。……当你开车的时候，可以这样享受祂。然而，你永不能单独享受基督上好的分。即使你三天单独在家里，日夜禁食，祷告，呼求祂，你还是不能享受基督上好的分。如果你要享受这一分，你必须来到召会中，就是神所选择的地方。

　　以色列人能以两种方式享受美地的丰富出产。普通的方式是在任何时候、任何地方，与任何人享受美地丰富出产一般的分。特别的方式是在神所选择独一的地方享受上好的分—初熟的和头生的。这个地方的显著特征是神的名和神的居所。这一切是我们享受基督的一幅清楚图画。我们对基督的享受也有两方面—在任何时候和任何地方享受基督的普通方面，以及在神所选择的地方享受基督的特别方面。这独一的地方有神的名和神的居所。

　　我们在正确的召会生活中经历对基督特别的享受。无论何时我们来到召会的聚会中，对基督的享受总是高而丰富的。我们都需要在个人生活和召会生活这两方面享受基督。虽然在召会生活中享受基督是美妙的，却不能顶替我们在个人生活中对祂的享受。同样的，在我们个人生活中的享受，也不能顶替公开召会生活中的享受。

　　我在召会生活中的享受，是我在个人生活中的享受所无法比的。但这意思不是说，我不再在个人生活中享受基督；而是说其滋味不如在召会生活中那样甜美。我一直渴望参加聚会，享受基督上好的分。……许多人在对基督的享受上相当贫穷，因为他们花太多时间尝试个人享受祂，却很少花时间团体地享受祂（李文集一九七五至一九七六年第三册，五六三至五六六页）。

　　There are two aspects of the enjoyment of Christ. The one is the common aspect. Wherever we are, no matter the time or the place, we may enjoy Christ…The other aspect of the enjoyment of Christ is the enjoyment of the top portion, the choice portion, the firstfruit or firstborn, of Christ. We can only have this aspect of the enjoyment of Christ in the proper church life… Although Christ always remains the same, He nevertheless has a choice portion and a common portion…You may enjoy Him in this way while you are driving your car. However, you will never enjoy the top portion of Christ alone. Even if you were to fast, pray, and call on Him night and day for three days alone in your home, you would still not be able to enjoy the choice portion of Christ. If you want to enjoy this portion, you must come to the church, the place God has chosen.

　　The children of Israel could enjoy the rich produce of the good land in two ways. The common way was to enjoy the common portion of the rich produce of the good land at any time, in any place, and with anybody. The special way was to enjoy the top portion, the firstfruit and the firstborn, in the unique place chosen by God. The distinguishing features of this place were the name of God and the habitation of God. All this is a clear picture of our enjoyment of Christ. Our enjoyment of Christ is also of two aspects—the common aspect of enjoying Christ at any time and at any place, and the specific aspect of enjoying Christ in the place God has chosen. This unique place has the name of God and the habitation of God.

　　We have experienced the special enjoyment of Christ in the proper church life. Whenever we come to a meeting of the church, the enjoyment of Christ is high and rich. We all need to enjoy Christ both in our private life and in the church life. Although the enjoyment of Christ in the church life is wonderful, it cannot replace our enjoyment of Him in our private life. Likewise, the enjoyment in our private life cannot replace the enjoyment in our public life, in our church life.

　　There is no comparison between the enjoyment in the church life and the enjoyment in my private life. This does not mean that I no longer enjoy Christ in my personal life, but the taste is not as sweet as the taste in the church life. I am always eager to attend a meeting to enjoy the top portion of Christ… Many are rather poor in the enjoyment of Christ because they spend too much time trying to enjoy Him privately and little time to enjoy Him corporately. (CWWL, 1975-1976, vol. 3, “Young People’s Training,” pp. 453-456)
