22约翰叙述基督在地上的生活工作时,提到以赛亚在这里所看见的异象,说以赛亚看见基督的荣耀(约十二41)。……对于在荣耀里之基督的异象,以赛亚的反应是说,“祸哉,我灭亡了!”(赛六5上)以赛亚看见这异象,就领悟他是该被了结的,是该灭亡的。……由〔五节下半〕可见,我们必须注意我们的嘴唇,注意我们的说话。……我们的话大部分是邪恶的,因为我们说的大多是批评的话。……不洁的事,诸如闲谈、发怨言和起争论,都使召会生活变得像醋一样。我们若把闲谈、怨言和争论除去,就会发现我们没有什么可说的。我们需要像以赛亚一样,领悟我们的嘴唇是不洁的。 22John, in his account of Christ’s living and working on earth, referred to Isaiah’s vision here, saying that Isaiah saw Christ’s glory (John 12:41). Isaiah responded to the vision of Christ in glory by saying, “Woe is me, for I am finished!” (Isa. 6:5a). As a result of seeing this vision, Isaiah was terminated, finished. [In verse 5b] we can see that we must pay attention to our lips, to our speaking…A great percentage of the words we speak are evil, because most of our words are words of criticism…Unclean things, such as gossip, murmuring, and reasoning, make the church life taste like vinegar. If we eliminate gossip, murmuring, and reasoning, we may find that we have very little to talk about. Like Isaiah, we need to realize that our lips are unclean.
