17接受基督作人位乃是最好的路,使我们拒绝一切规条,并享受祂这位包罗万有者,祂是我们的一切。我们在日常行事为人的一切大小事上,都该与基督核对,告诉祂:“我接受你作人位。你若要作这件事,我就作,你若不要,我就不作。”……配偶激怒我们时,我们不该求基督帮助我们不发脾气,只该借着否认己并让祂活在我们里面,凭祂作人位而活。我们接受基督作人位时,祂就成为我们的一切。我们不要想靠自身努力而有圣别、忍耐、属灵或爱,因我们若凭基督作人位而活,祂自然而然就会成为我们的圣别、忍耐、属灵和爱。……我们若在日常生活中以基督作人位,聚会就会丰富、高昂,并且使人得着复苏和满足;因我们来在一起时,每人都会带来自己的那一分基督,并且彼此分享我们对祂的享受。这就是正确的基督徒生活和召会生活。
17Taking Christ as our person is the best way to reject all our ordinances and enjoy Him as the all-inclusive One, the One who is everything to us. In all the things in our daily walk, whether great or small, we should check with Christ, telling Him, “I take You as my person. If You want to do this, I will do it, but if You do not, I will not do it.”…When our spouse irritates us, instead of asking Christ to help us not lose our temper, we should simply live by Him as our person by denying the self and allowing Him to live in us. When we take Christ as our person, He becomes everything to us. We should not try to be holy, patient, spiritual, or loving by our own effort, for if we live by Christ as our person, He will spontaneously be our holiness, patience, spirituality, and love. If we take Christ as our person in our daily life, our meetings will be rich, uplifting, refreshing, and satisfying, for when we come together, each of us will bring our portion of Christ and share our enjoyment of Him with one another. This is the proper Christian life and church life.
