第七周　周二

纲目

1三虽然我们需要经营基督这地好出产基督，但我们需要领悟，不是我们出产基督，乃是基督借着我们的经营而在我们里面生产祂自己—腓二13，弗三17，西三15~16：

21 我们都需要经营基督，并让基督给我们许多的出产，然后我们对基督就会有丰富的经历—弗三8，腓四19。

32 对基督的收成乃是我们所经营并收成的基督—三10。

4四每天早晨我们需要祷告，向主求当天的一份恩典，并将自己奉献给主，目的是要在祂身上经营，好经历并享受祂—罗十二1~2，十五16。

5五在一整天之中，我们要维持我们与主的交通，借此接触祂，在祂身上经营，应用祂，经历祂并享受祂—约十五4~5、11，十六22，彼前一8。

晨兴喂养

Morning Nourishment

6腓二13 因为乃是神为着祂的美意，在你们里面运行，使你们立志并行事。

6Phil. 2:13 For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for His good pleasure.

7弗三17 使基督借着信，安家在你们心里，叫你们在爱里生根立基。

7Eph. 3:17 That Christ may make His home in your hearts through faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love.

8西三15~16 又要让基督的平安在你们心里作仲裁，……且要感恩。……让基督的话丰丰富富地住在你们里面……。

8Col. 3:15-16 And let the peace of Christ arbitrate in your hearts…; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…

9神邀请祂一切的子民聚在一起，然而神自己不烹调。虽然神不烹煮食物，但祂已经赐给食物。神终年赐下阳光、空气和雨水，借此已赐给他们食物，……一切都已赐下，但他们需要与神合作，以得着出产。然后出产成为十分取一之物，而十分取一之物被带来回应神的邀请。每个人都受邀请到神的家。每个人都来到家中喂养父，并使祂满足。这是何等喜乐的时刻！

9God invited all His people to come together, yet God did not cook. Although God did not cook the food, He had given the food already. He had given them the food by sending the sunshine, the air, and the rain year round…All the things were sent, but they needed to cooperate with God to have the produce. Then the produce became the tithes, and the tithes were brought to answer God’s invitation. Everyone was invited to God’s home. Everybody came home to feed the Father and to satisfy Him. What a happy time this was!

10这一切都必须是基督。当我们聚在一起，该这样带着基督而来。……你带多少基督到聚会里，在于你出产多少基督，生长多少基督。你必须经营基督这地，好叫你能出产基督。实际上，不是你出产基督，乃是基督借着你的经营而出产祂自己。今天可怜的事乃是：基督徒这些神所救赎的子民，都空手来聚集（李常受文集一九八二年第一册，六四二至六四三页）。

10All of this must be Christ. When we come together, we should come with Christ in this way…How much Christ you bring to the meeting depends upon how much Christ you produce, how much Christ you have grown. You have to labor on Christ as the land so that you can produce Christ. Actually, it is not that you produce Christ but that Christ produces Christ Himself through your labor. The poor thing today is that the Christians as God’s redeemed people all come together empty-handed. (CWWL, 1982, vol.1, “Experiencing Christ as the Offerings for the Church Meetings,” p. 510)

11我相信到目前为止，我们已摆出一幅清楚的图画，说到我们该如何聚在一起。聚会是正确的召会生活，聚会是实行的召会生活。我们没有这种聚会，就没有实行的召会生活。我们所有的，可能只是一种组织，同一些社交活动。但正确的召会生活该是聚会生活。我们来聚会以前，必须经营基督。我们必须收获基督；我们必须收取一些基督，好叫我们来聚会的时候，充满着基督而来（李常受文集一九八二年第一册，六四三页）。

11I believe that thus far we have presented a clear picture of how we should come together. Meeting is the proper church life. Meeting is the practical church life. Without this kind of meeting, we do not have the practical church life. What we have might be just a kind of organization with certain communal activities. But the proper church life should be a meeting life. Before coming to the meeting, we must be laboring on Christ. We must reap Christ. We must have gathered some amount of Christ so that when we come to meet, we come filled with Christ. (CWWL, 1982, vol. 1, “Experiencing Christ as the Offerings for the Church Meetings,” pp. 510-511)

12每一天早晨你必须这样祷告：“主啊，我又一次把自己献上给你，不是来为你作工，乃是来享受你。”你必须把自己真诚地奉献给神，只为着一个简单的目的，就是享受并经历祂，此外再无其他别的目的。从你早晨醒过来的那一个时刻，你就必须说，“主啊，我在这里。我把自己献上来享受你。求你使我从这时候开始，在这一整天之中，在每一处境中，经历并应用你。我不是为明天求什么，我乃是向你求恩典，使我今天能享受你。求你指示我，使我看见该如何耕地、撒种并浇灌主的植物。”在这一整天中的每一时刻，你要维持你与主的交通。你就必实际地活在主里面，在祂身上经营，应用祂，享受祂。你若是这样作的话，试想看你的“田地”将如何丰收，如何美丽。……当主日来到，你和所有的圣徒一同去敬拜神的时候，你就能说，“我现在去朝见我的神；我要去敬拜我的主。我去并不是空手而去，乃是双手满了基督。我有余剩的丰富，而且在我的右手中有为我亲爱的主所保留最好的一分。”……当聚会开始的时候，你已准备好从你为主的储藏中向祂献上祷告和赞美。这是你余剩丰富中最好的部分，你与所有的圣徒欢乐地献给神，作祂的享受和满足。你已经收割了足够的基督，为着你自己，为着缺乏的人，和为着主。不仅如此，你还能将相当可观的一部分留起来，为着你将来的日子之用（包罗万有的基督，二一一至二一二页）。

12Every morning you need to pray, “Lord, I consecrate myself once more to You, not to work for You but to enjoy You.” You must consecrate yourself sincerely to the Lord for the simple purpose of enjoying and experiencing Him—nothing more. From the moment you awake in the morning, you need to say, “Lord, here I am. I give myself to enjoy You. Grant me through the entire day, from this moment on, to experience and apply You in every situation. I am not asking for anything tomorrow. I am asking for grace to enjoy You today. Show me how to till the ground, sow the seed, and water the plants of the Lord.” Moment by moment through the whole day you will maintain your communion with the Lord. You will live practically in the Lord, laboring on Him, applying Him, and enjoying Him. If you do this, consider how fruitful and how beautiful your “farm” will be…When the Lord’s Day comes, and you go to worship the Lord with the saints, you will be able to say, “I am going now to see my God; I am going to worship my Lord. I will not go with empty hands but with hands full of Christ. I have a surplus, and in my right hand is the best part reserved for my dear Lord.”…When the meeting begins, you are well prepared to offer your prayers and praises to the Lord from your reserve for Him. This is the best of your surplus, and with the saints you joyfully render it to the Lord for His enjoyment and satisfaction. You have reaped enough of Christ for yourself, for the needy ones, and for the Lord. You have furthermore put aside a considerable portion that will stand you in good stead in future days. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, “The Allinclusive Christ,” pp. 345-346)
