8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。
8There 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.
