晨兴喂养
结三四11~13 因为主耶和华如此说,我必亲自寻找我的羊,将他们寻见。……这些羊……四散到各处,我必把他们从那里救回来。我必把他们从万民中领出来,从各国聚集他们,引导他们归回自己的地,也必在以色列山上,一切溪水旁边,在那地一切可居之处牧养他们。 因着我们堕落的情形,我们都被埋在许多恶事之下,所以我们需要神来寻找我们。在路加十五章里,我们有牧人(表征基督作牧者)寻找迷羊,也有妇人(表征那灵)点上灯,在屋内找着失落的银币。于是浪子就被那灵寻见,而被领回家。 主对我们作了同样的事。祂寻找我们,为要拯救我们,恢复我们。我们得救以前,被埋在许多的罪底下,但主耶稣寻见我们。我们得救以后,退后到堕落的基督教里,又被埋在许多事物之下,就如道理、形式和恩赐等等。然而,主耶稣再来寻找我们;祂寻见我们,并把我们带出来。现在我们乃是被主耶稣这位牧人所寻见的人(以西结书生命读经,二一八页)。 |
信息选读
以西结预言,主这位牧人要把祂的百姓,祂的羊,从万民中领出来〔结三四12~13上〕。 这也是我们的经历。当我们堕落作罪人时,当我们冷淡退后时,……虽然我们像在地上亿万人中的不信者一样过生活,但主耶稣将我们寻见,并从万民中,从不信者中间,将我们领出来。……你以前和不信者一样,但有一天主耶稣这位牧人寻见你,把你从不信者中间领回,并领你归向祂自己。主在以西结三十四章十三节下半继续说,祂要引导祂的子民归回自己的地。他们原被掳到异邦之国,但主应许要领他们归回自己的地,回到迦南美地。我们的美地是基督。我们得救以前,或在冷淡退后之后,都是与基督隔离的。但主把我们寻见,并领我们归向祂自己,甚至带我们进入祂自己,以祂自己为我们的美地。……美地今天也是在召会生活中。因此,当我们被领回归向基督时,我们也被领回到召会生活,在其中我们得着美地的丰富和享受。 主应许祂的子民,不仅要领他们回到自己的地,也要带他们回到高山(13~14)。……这指明主耶稣要领我们回到对复活、升天之基督的经历。 主也说,祂要带祂的子民回到溪水旁边(13)。这些溪水表征赐生命的灵,就是那灵的活水。从高山,就是从复活、升天的基督,流出那灵的活水。生命的灵在基督的复活并升天里,从祂流出来。主把我们寻见并把我们带回归向祂自己之后,我们不仅归向在升天超越地位上的基督,我们也开始喝那灵作为活水。 不仅如此,十三节说,主要在溪水旁边牧养祂的群羊。我们能作见证,在地方召会中,我们感觉到主耶稣天天都在活水的江河旁边喂养我们。当我们在公会里的时候,我们感到枯干、干旱,但是我们一旦进到地方召会的聚会中,我们就开始感到,我们被带回到溪水边,在这里我们得着主耶稣的喂养。这里有涌流的河,我们就在这河边享受基督的丰富(以西结书生命读经,二一八至二二一页)。 参读:新约总论,第一百零九篇;撒迦利亚书生命读经,第十至十一篇。 |
Ezek. 34:11-13 For thus says the Lord Jehovah, I Myself, even I, will search for My sheep and seek them out…And I will deliver them from all the places where they have been scattered…And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them into their own land, and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the streams and in all the inhabited places of the land. Because of our fallen condition, we were all buried under many evil things, so we needed God to search for us. In Luke 15 we have both the shepherd (signifying Christ as the Shepherd) seeking the lost sheep and the woman (signifying the Spirit) lighting the lamp and searching within the house for the lost coin. The prodigal son then was drawn home by the searching of the Spirit. The Lord has done the same thing with us. He searched for us in order to save us and recover us. Before we were saved, we were buried under many sins, but the Lord Jesus sought us. Then after we were saved, we backslid into degraded Christianity, and we were buried under many things, such as doctrines, forms, and gifts. However, once again the Lord Jesus searched for us; He sought us out and brought us out. Now we are the ones who have been sought out by the Lord Jesus as the Shepherd.
