第六周 周二
纲目
1四 我们需要将基督的丰富当作属灵的食物供应人,使他们得着滋养并在生命里长大;神的话被比作滋养人的奶和干粮——来五12~14林前二2彼前二2
1
21 信仰的话就是关乎神新约经纶之完全福音的话。
2
32 善美教训的话,乃是那些包含并传输基督的丰富,以喂养、造就并加强祂信徒之甜美的话。
3
4五 作为基督一个身体的肢体,我们该渴望作基督的好执事,“同心合意”并“用同一的口”(罗十五6)“说一样的话”(林前一10):

51 “我们必须学习神当前启示的高峰,并学习讲说这些事。······我愿意鼓励大家,都按受这个高的托付:······带着神今时代的异象出去,为着神圣启示的高峰,与神一同行动,以完成祂永远的经纶”——三一神的启示与行动,一一六页。

62 由主今时代之职事所兴起的圣徒,对这职事有一种口味,而这口味乃是主恢复里控制的因素;那些由这职事所兴起来的人,会拒绝与这职事不合的口味;这意思是,你若说与主恢复口味不合的事,你的讲说会被拒绝,你也会受亏损——参诗三四8彼前二3

晨兴喂养
Morning Nourishment
7来五12~14 按时间说,你们该作教师;可是你们还需要有人将神谕言开端的要纲教导你们;并且成了那必须用奶,不能吃干粮的人。凡只能享用奶的,对公义的话都是没有经验的,因为他是婴孩;只有长成的人,才能吃干粮……。
7Heb. 5:12-14 ...Because of the time you ought to be teachers, [but] you have need again for someone to teach you what the rudiments of the beginning of the oracles of God are and have become those who have need of milk and not of solid food. For everyone who partakes of milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness, for he is an infant; but solid food is for the full-grown...
8按照提前四章六节所说,我们也该在我们向来所紧紧跟随善美教训的话上,得着喂养。善美教训的话,乃是那些包含并传输基督的丰富,以喂养、造就并加强祂信徒之甜美的话。事实上,信仰的话与善美教训的话是指同样的事。我们要教导别人,自己必须先紧紧跟随这些话。我们紧紧跟随这些话,并得其喂养,然后才能喂养别人。譬如,母亲若不知道如何好好喂养自己,就不会知道如何将健康的食物喂养她的孩子。借着她自己得喂养的经历,她就会知道什么食物对她的孩子最好。这说明我们作基督的好执事,自己必须先在信仰的话,并我们向来所紧紧跟随善美教训的话上,得了喂养,然后我们才能喂养别人(提摩太前书生命读经,八八页)。
8According to 1 Timothy 4:6, we should also be nourished with the good teaching which we have closely followed. The words of the good teaching are the sweet words that contain and convey the riches of Christ to nourish, edify, and strengthen His believers. Actually, the words of the faith and the words of the good teaching refer to the same thing. If we would teach others, we ourselves must first follow these words closely. Following them closely and being nourished with them, we will then be able to feed others. For example, if a mother does not know how to nourish herself properly, she will not know how to feed healthy food to her children. Through her own experience of being nourished, she will know what food is best for her children. This illustrates the fact that as good ministers of Christ, we must first be nourished ourselves with the words of the faith and of the good teaching which we have closely followed, and then we will be able to nourish others. (Life-study of 1 Timothy, second edition, pp. 72-73)

Today’s Reading
9我们在接纳信徒过召会生活等等的生活上,要照着基督耶稣,彼此思念相同的事,同心合意荣耀神(罗十五5~7)。当我们同心合意时,我们都用同一的口,说同样的话。我们同心同口唯一的路,就是让基督在我们心里和口中,有地位作一切,使荣耀归与神。我们已经说过,神就是新耶路撒冷。我们荣耀神,就是以祂为新耶路撒冷,将一切荣耀都归与祂(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册,六四○页)。
9We need to be of the same mind toward one another according to Christ Jesus so that with one accord we may glorify God in receiving the believers to live the church life (Rom. 15:5-7). Whenever we are in one accord, we speak the same thing; we speak with one mouth. The only way to be with one accord and with one mouth is to allow Christ the room to be everything in our heart and in our mouth so that God may be glorified. We have said that God is the New Jerusalem. When we glorify God, we take Him as the New Jerusalem and give all the glory to Him. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “The Experience of God’s Organic Salvation Equaling Reigning in Christ’s Life,” p. 509)
10在公会里有许多寻求的基督徒,许多亲爱的弟兄们,在寻求比他们所听过的、所有的更高、更深、更丰富的东西。他们厌倦了肤浅的东西。我们若告诉他们高峰的真理,他们会醒过来。起初他们可能会反对,但他们渐渐地会找到真理。那么我们该作什么?我们必须学习神当前启示的高峰,并学习讲说这些事。我们必须去,我们也必须说。我信今天这启示的高峰,要成为今日基督徒中间最热门的市场产品。
10Many seeking Christians, dear brothers, in the denominations are seeking something higher, deeper, and richer than what they have heard and possess. They are tired of shallow things. If we tell them the high-peak truths, they will wake up. At first, they may oppose, but gradually they will find the truth. Then what shall we do? We have to learn the high peaks of God’s present revelation and learn to speak these things. We have to go, and we have to speak. I believe that the high peaks of today’s revelation will become the hottest market among today’s Christians.
11我愿意鼓励大家,都接受这个高的托付:带着神圣启示的高峰,并带着神今时代的异象出去,为着神圣启示的高峰,与神一同行动,以完成祂永远的经纶(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第三册,一八八页)。
11I would encourage all of us to pick up this high commission: to go out with the high peaks of the divine revelation and with God’s up-to-date vision to move with God for His high peaks of the divine revelation that will consummate His eternal economy. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 3, “The Triune God’s Revelation and His Move,” p. 151)
12正如人在食物上有不同的口味,主的恢复照样有一种职事的味道:这职事多年来建造了主的恢复。主的恢复被兴起来,具有一种味道。那些被兴起来,具有这种口味的人,会拒绝与这不合的味道。这就是说,如果你讲说与主恢复的味道不合的事,你的讲说会被拒绝,并且你将是头一个遭亏损的人。已往我们见过许多这样的例子。
12Just as people have different tastes in food, so the Lord’s recovery also has a taste for the ministry that has built up the recovery over the years. The recovery was raised up with a certain taste. Those who have been raised with this taste will reject a taste that is contrary to it. This means that if you speak something contrary to the taste of the Lord’s recovery, your speaking will be rejected, and you will be the first to suffer loss. We have seen a number of examples of this in the past.
13如果你有智慧,你会晓得你说话对象的口味。在主恢复里所有的召会都是借着这职事兴起来的,圣徒们多年“吃”这职事,对这职事有一种口味。……你若盼望圣徒们“吃”与主恢复的味道不合的东西,你也会有难处(李常受文集一九八四年第二册,四四一至四四二页)。
13If you are wise, you will know the taste of those to whom you are speaking. All the churches in the recovery were raised up through the ministry, and the saints have been “eating” this ministry for years and have a taste for it...You will have trouble if you expect the saints to “eat” something against the taste in the Lord’s recovery. (CWWL, 1984, vol. 2, “Elders’ Training, Book 3: The Way to Carry Out the Vision,” pp. 344-345)

今日要点
15主题:供应话奶与干粮,而用同一的口说一样的话
15
161.作为基督的好执事,供应话奶与干粮:
16
17A.得了餧养这样的话,与使徒们在其他书信所说的话,原则是一样的,我们需要将基督的丰富当作属灵的食物供应人,使他们得着滋养并在生命上长大,神的话被比作滋养人的奶和干粮,我们很熟悉彼前说到,要像才生的婴孩,切慕纯净的话奶,然而,我们也需要认识来五12~14关于干粮的话。
17
18B.保罗说到,我们起头是婴孩,要靠话奶的滋养,但我们不能一直停留在用奶,只能接受开端的话,更要往前,对干粮,就是公义的话有经验,而成为长成的人,为此我们需要信仰的话,并善美教训的话,以餧养、造就并加强信徒。
18
192.在话上得餧养,有相同口味,用同一的口说一样的话:
19
20A.当我们得着餧养、造就并加强,我们作为基督一个身体的肢体,就会渴望并成为基督的好执事,而能够照着基督耶稣,彼此思念相同的事,让基督在我们的心里和口里,有地位作一切,使荣耀归与神,「同心合意」并「用同一的口」「说一样的话」。
20
21B.在主恢复的召会一段时间,你会感觉,正如人在食物上有不同的口味,主的恢复照样也有一种职事的味道,这职事多年来建造了主的恢复,当你被兴起,被建立,你就具有这样的口味,就会拒绝与这不合的味道,当我们有相同的口味,用同一个口说一样的话,就会神经纶得成就,并使身体得建造。
21
22应用:我们今天必须接受一个高的托付,学习神当前启示的高峰,并带着这些真理,讲说这些高品真理,借着每周的晨兴圣言材料,不仅读过,更是借着祷读、研读、背诵、讲说,学习走被真理构成的路,并且要去,也要说。
