10在主耶稣的说话里,第一次给我们看见在主耶稣的名里是在约翰福音里,就是在十四、十五、十六章里。……祂说,“你们在我的名里无论求什么,我必作成,……你们若在我的名里求我什么,我必作成。”(十四13~14)祂从十四章起,直到十五、十六章,一直在那里对门徒说到“在我的名里”。这告诉我们,不只祂有一天在神面前要得着一个超乎万名之上的名,并且祂这一个名是门徒所能用的,是你也能用,我也能用的。这一个名是神赐给祂儿子耶稣的名,祂儿子耶稣基督又把这一个名转过来交在你手里,交在我手里,交在他手里,是你、我、他都可以用的。……不只有祂的名,并且还有在祂的名里。耶稣基督的名,是祂在神面前所得着的;在主耶稣基督的名里,是神的儿女有分于祂这一个名。所以,在主耶稣的名里就是有分于主耶稣的名,就是我们能用这一个名。弟兄姊妹,你要知道,这是神,这是主耶稣对我们一个最大的信托(倪柝声文集第二辑第二册,二○七至二○八页)。
10The first time the Lord Jesus mentioned being in His name was in John 14—16…He said, “Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do… If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it” (14:13-14). All the way from chapters 14 through 16, He repeatedly told the disciples to ask “in My name.” This shows us not only that He would one day receive a name above every name but also that the disciples could use this name. It is also a name you and I can use. This name is the name God gave to His Son Jesus, which has, in turn, been put in our hands…You and I and everyone else can now use this name…Not only is there His name, but there is also such a thing as being in His name. The name of Jesus Christ is the name He received before God, and being in the name of Jesus Christ is for God’s children to partake of this name. Hence, being in the name of the Lord Jesus is to partake of His name. It means that we can use this name. Brothers and sisters, we have to realize that this is the greatest thing committed to us from God and the Lord Jesus. (CWWN, vol. 22, “The Prayer Ministry of the Church,” pp. 179-180)
