12主耶稣在肉体里为我们舍了自己之后,祂复活了,并且在复活里成了赐生命的灵(林前十五45)。祂作为赐生命的灵,乃是说话的灵。凡祂所说的,都是洗涤我们的话。以弗所五章二十六节里的“话”,希腊原文不是logos,娄格斯,常时的话,乃是rhema,雷玛,指即时的话,就是主现在对我们所说的话。作为赐生命的灵,主不是静默的,祂不断地说话。如果你接受祂作人位,你会发现祂何等渴望在你里面说话。偶像是哑巴,但内住的基督总是在说话。没有一个接受基督作他生命和人位的人,是静默不言的。相反的,他会受基督的困迫而说话(以弗所书生命读经,五六一页)。 12After the Lord Jesus gave Himself for us in the flesh, He was resurrected and in resurrection became the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45). As the lifegiving Spirit, He is the speaking Spirit. Whatever He speaks is the word that washes us. The Greek word rendered “word” in Ephesians 5:26 is not logos, the constant word, but rhema, which denotes the instant word, the word the Lord presently speaks to us. As the life-giving Spirit, the Lord is not silent; He is constantly speaking. If you take Him as your person, you will discover how much He desires to speak within you. Idols are dumb, but the indwelling Christ is always speaking. No one who takes Christ as his life and his person can remain silent. On the contrary, he will be constrained by Christ to speak.
