9约八12 ……我是世界的光，跟从我的，……必要得着生命的光。
9John 8:12 ...I am the light of the world; he who follows Me...shall have the light of life.
1032 你们必认识真理，真理必叫你们得以自由。
1032 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
11约壹一5~6 神就是光，在祂里面毫无黑暗；……我们若说我们与神有交通，却在黑暗里行，就是说谎话，不行真理了。
111 John 1:5-6 ...God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and are not practicing the truth.
12凭着我们天然的生命努力效法基督是错误的。……当我们相信主耶稣而得救时，神就把我们放在作为模子的基督里。这模子就是记载在四福音书里耶稣的生活，这是完全照着实际而有的生活。实际（真理）是光的照耀，光的彰显。因为神就是光（约壹一5），所以实际（真理）就是神的彰显。福音书里所记载耶稣的生活，每一面都是神的彰显。祂所说所行的，都彰显神。……耶稣这照着实际而有的生活乃是模型，神已经把我们放在其中。在这模型里，我们照着那在耶稣身上是实际者，学了基督。这意思是，我们照着福音书所给我们看见的实际，亦即照着主耶稣那完全照着神实际的生活，学了基督。这生活是光的照耀。光的照耀是实际（真理），而实际（真理）是神的彰显。所以，在耶稣的生活里有实际。主耶稣所设立的模型，其素质乃是实际。这意思是，耶稣之生活的素质乃是实际（以弗所书生命读经，四七七页）。
12It is a mistake to endeavor to imitate Christ by the efforts of our natural life...When we believed in the Lord Jesus and were saved, God put us into Christ as the mold. This mold is the life of Jesus recorded in the four Gospels, a life absolutely according to reality, truth. Truth is the shining of light, the expression of light. Since God is light (1 John 1:5), truth is the expression of God. Every aspect of the life of Jesus recorded in the Gospels is an expression of God. In everything He said and did, He expressed God...This life of Jesus according to [truth], reality, is the pattern in which God has placed us. In this pattern we have learned Christ as the reality is in Jesus. This means that we have learned Christ according to the reality shown in the Gospels, that is, according to the life of the Lord Jesus, which was wholly according to God’s reality, God’s truth. This life is the shining of light. The shining of the light is truth, and truth is the expression of God. Therefore, in the life of Jesus there is truth, reality. The essence of the pattern set up by the Lord Jesus is reality. This means that the essence of the life of Jesus is reality. (Life-study of Ephesians, second edition, p. 383)

Today’s Reading
13我们也许有了更多的知识，但这不是说，我们就有更多的真理。照新约的启示来看，真理乃是光的结果。道理是什么？真理是什么？没有光的知识就是道理，满了光的知识就是真理。神学博士也许有许多圣经的知识，却没有多少光。生命读经对你可能仅仅是道理，也可能是真理。分别乃在于你有带着光的知识，那就是真理；没有光，那不过是道理。你无须爱主就能得着道理；你可以进神学院或圣经学院，得着许多知识，但你可能并没有接受光，因为光乃是主自己。祂从来没有告诉我们祂是知识；祂说，祂就是光（约八12），就是真理（实际）（十四6）。如果我们不爱主，我们可以读圣经，可以守晨更，但我们所读的不过是没有光的知识。如果我们有主的同在调和在我们的知识里，这种知识就是真理，因为主的同在就是光。
13We may have more knowledge, but this does not mean that we have more truth. According to the New Testament revelation, truth is the issue of light. What is doctrine? What is truth? Knowledge without light is doctrine. Knowledge full of light is truth. Doctors of theology may have much knowledge of the Bible, but they may not have much light. The Life-studies may be just doctrine to you, or they may be truth. The difference is that when you have the knowledge with light, it is truth. Without the light it is only doctrine. You can get doctrines without loving the Lord. You may go to a seminary or to a Bible college and gain a lot of knowledge, but you may not receive light, because light is the Lord Himself. He never tells us that He is knowledge; He says that He is the light (John 8:12) and the truth (14:6). If we do not love the Lord, we may come to the Bible, we may have morning watch, but what we read may be just knowledge without light. If we have the Lord’s presence mingled in our knowledge, then that knowledge is the truth because the Lord’s presence is the light.
14我们必须火热寻求主，然后圣经和生命读经对我们才有帮助；不是帮助我们得着道理，乃是得着真理，得着带着光的真知识。这样，我们就有真理，有实际。我们领头的人不该过于要求圣徒，我们自己必须带头。倘若我们不带头火热寻求主，而盼望别人火热，我们所说的就成了道理或教训，全无冲击力（李常受文集一九八三年第一册，八三至八四页）。
14We must have a zeal to seek after the Lord. Then the Bible helps, the Lifestudies help—help to get not doctrines but the truth, the real knowledge with light. Then we have the truth, the reality. We, the leading ones, should not put too many requirements on the saints. We ourselves have to take the lead. If we do not take the lead to be zealous after the Lord but expect others to be zealous, whatever we say becomes a doctrine, or a teaching, all with no impact. (CWWL, 1983, vol. 1, “Practical Talks to the Elders,” pp. 59-60)
15今天在基督徒中间普遍有许多东西，却没有赐生命的灵。天主教里有故事，也有某些迷信；但这一切都没有赐生命的灵。在更正教里，有许多合乎圣经并基要的东西，但也许欠缺赐生命的灵。因这缘故，更正教也缺少实际。在这事上，主恢复的目标是什么？主恢复的目标乃是要恢复圣经里所启示之事物的实际、生命、活力、力量、能力和冲击力。……赐生命的灵乃是圣经里一切道理和故事的命脉、实际、能力和冲击力（出埃及记生命读经，一四四○页）。
15It is common among Christians today to have many things without the lifegiving Spirit. In Catholicism there are stories and also certain superstitions, but all of this is without the life-giving Spirit. In Protestantism there are many scriptural and fundamental things, but the life-giving Spirit may be lacking. For this reason, in Protestantism there is also the shortage of reality. Regarding this matter, what is the goal of the Lord’s recovery? The goal of the Lord’s recovery is to recover the reality, life, livingness, strength, power, and impact of the matters revealed in the Scriptures...The life-giving Spirit is the life pulse, the reality, the power, and the impact of all the doctrines and stories in the Bible. (Life-study of Exodus, p. 1259)
