11神将祂自己建造到我们里面,完全是一件生机的事。我们要让这建造进行,就需要接受、消化并吸收生机的元素。我们属灵的食物和饮料,就是那生机的、是灵的基督(约六51、57,七37~39),祂就是赐生命的灵。……今天祂是那灵,是实际、真实、活泼、与我们同在的。……当我们借着吃基督、喝基督并呼吸基督而享受……基督,我们里面就产生新陈代谢的过程,就是属灵的消化和吸收。借着这新陈代谢的过程,基督就构成到我们里面;这构成就是建造。因此,基督现今正将祂自己建造到我们里面,作我们内里的构成。这样建造的结果,就使我们成为一班特别的人—基督身体的肢体。 11God’s building Himself into our being is altogether an organic matter. In order for such a building to take place, we need to receive, digest, and assimilate an organic element. Our spiritual food and drink is the organic, pneumatic Christ (John 6:51, 57; 7:37-39), the Christ who is the life-giving Spirit…Today as the Spirit He is real, genuine, living, and present. When we enjoy…Christ by eating, drinking, and breathing Him, a metabolic process, a spiritual digestion and metabolism, takes place within us. Through this metabolic process Christ is constituted into our being. This constitution is the building. Christ, therefore, is building Himself into us as our inner constitution. The issue of such a building is that we become a very particular class of people—the members of the Body of Christ.
