2第一篇 享受包罗万有的基督是召会一切难处的唯一解答
2
3贰 神信实地呼召我们进入了祂儿子的交通,进入对祂儿子的享受,但许多时候我们对祂呼召我们进入祂的心意并不忠信——一9,耶二13哀三22~24
3
4一 神在祂经纶里的心意,是要作活水的泉源、源头,好将祂自己分赐到我们里面,作我们的满足和享受;这享受的目标是要产生召会,就是神的配偶,作神的扩增,神的扩大,好成为神的丰满,使祂得着彰显——约三29~30弗三16~1921
4
5二 接受神作活水的泉源,唯一的路就是天天喝祂并将祂涌流出来;这需要我们不断地呼求主(连同歌颂、称谢、喜乐、祷告、赞美并传扬神拯救的作为)——诗三六8~9赛十二3~6林前十二13约七37~39四1014罗十12~13帖前五16~18
5
6三 神的百姓本该喝神而享受神,但他们反倒向祂不忠信,作了两件恶事——“我的百姓,作了两件恶事,就是离弃我这活水的泉源,为自己凿出池子,是破裂不能存水的池子”——耶二13
6
71 第一,神的百姓离弃这位作他们享受之泉源、源头的神;第二,他们转向神以外的源头,那不能满足他们,或使他们成为神的扩大,作祂的丰满,使祂得着彰显。
7
82 凿出池子描绘以色列用人的劳碌辛苦,制作一些东西(偶像)顶替神;那些池子是破裂不能存水的,指明除了神自己分赐到我们里面作活水给我们享受以外,没有什么能解我们的干渴,也没有什么能使我们成为神的扩增,使祂得着彰显——约四13~14
8
9四 恶人邪恶的光景,乃是他们没有就近主来吃喝并享受主;他们作许多事,却不来接触主,取用祂,接受祂,尝祂并享受祂;在神眼中,没有比这更邪恶的事——赛五七20,参五五1~26~7
9
10五 我们虽然不忠信,神却是信实的,但祂的信实不是照着我们天然的领会或观念:
10
111 神信实的取去我们的偶像;凡我们里面所爱的任何事物,超过了对主的爱,或在我们的生活中顶替了主,就是偶像——结十四3约壹五21
11
122 我们外面环境的平安,个人的舒适和安逸,以及我们的财物都能成为我们的偶像,引我们走迷;但神信实地取去这些事物,使我们饮于祂这活水的泉源。
12
133 神信实地允许我们有难处,使我们学习不信靠自己,只信靠祂,使祂得以引导我们进入祂的经纶,使我们享受基督,吸取基督,喝基督,吃基督,并吸收基督,好叫神在我们身上得着扩增,以完成祂的经纶——耶十七7~8林后一8~9约十六33林前十3~4十二13
13
144 除了我们享受基督以外,神对任何事物都不感兴趣;我们也许以为,因着我们的失败,我们是无望的;但神不失望;我们的失败开路让基督进来作我们的一切,使祂能把我们带到成熟——罗八28~29来六1上创三七1与注,四七7与注。

15耶二13 “因为我的百姓,作了两件恶事,就是离弃我这活水的泉源,为自己凿出池子,是破裂不能存水的池子。”
15Jer. 2:13 For My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, to hew out for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, which hold no water.
16约四14 “人若喝我所赐的水,就永远不渴;我所赐的水,要在他里面成为泉源,直涌入永远的生命。”
16John 4:14 But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall by no means thirst forever; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.
17〔在耶利米二章十三节〕神要作活水的泉源给祂的选民喝,目的是祂要得着扩增并扩大。
17God is the fountain of living waters [Jer. 2:13]…God’s purpose in wanting to be the fountain of living waters for His elect to drink is that He would be increased and enlarged.
18神需要对祂的选民作活水的泉源,乃因祂有一个经纶;而祂的经纶是要为自己产生一个配偶,新妇。神经纶的目的是神不再独居,乃要得着一个妻子,作祂的扩增,祂的扩大,好与祂这丈夫相配。…施浸者约翰提到基督,说,“祂必扩增。”〔约三30。〕在前一节约翰说,“娶新妇的,就是新郎。”三十节的扩增,就是二十九节的新妇。新郎是基督,新妇是祂的扩增,祂的扩大。正如夏娃是用亚当的肋骨建造的,是亚当的扩增;照样,神的选民是新妇,是基督这新郎的扩增。(耶利米书生命读经,三○、三二至三三页。)
18God needs to be the fountain of living waters to His elect because He has an economy, and His economy is to produce a counterpart, a bride, for Himself. The purpose of God’s economy is that God would no longer be alone but would have a wife to be His increase, His enlargement, and thus to match Him as the Husband…John the Baptist, speaking of Christ, says, “He must increase” [John 3:30]. In the previous verse John had said, “He who has the bride is the bridegroom.” The increase in verse 30 is the bride in verse 29. The Bridegroom is Christ, and the bride is His increase, His enlargement. Just as Eve was the increase of Adam, being built from Adam’s rib, so God’s elect as the bride are the increase of Christ as the Bridegroom. (Life-study of Jeremiah, pp. 25, 27)

19神的经纶是要使祂自己得着彰显。神不要独自彰显祂自己,乃要借着祂的配偶彰显祂自己。我们虽然不忠信,神却是信实的。哀歌三章二十三节下半说,“你的信实,极其广大。”有一首著名的诗歌论到神的信实,(诗歌十三首,)副歌说,“你的信实广大!…你的怜悯每晨都是新鲜!我所需要一切全由你供给…。”我们对圣经并对这首诗歌所说关于神信实的领会,可能是天然的,也可能是属灵的。…有人说神是信实的,意思是祂信实地顾到他们物质的需要。然而,在林前一章九节保罗说,“神是信实的,你们乃是为祂所召,进入了祂儿子我们主耶稣基督的交通。”神在这件事上是信实的,但祂也许没有信实地供给你大的房子,或高薪的工作。我不否认神信实地顾到我们的福利。我的点乃是,神的信实并非照着我们天然的领会。
19God’s economy is to have an expression of Himself. God does not want to express Himself by Himself alone; rather, He wants to express Himself through His counterpart. Although we are unfaithful, God is faithful. Lamentations 3:23b says, “Great is Your faithfulness.” The chorus of a well-known hymn on God’s faithfulness (Hymns, #19) says, “Great is Thy faithfulness!…/ Morning by morning new mercies I see. / All I have needed Thy hand hath provided…” We may understand what the Bible says and what this hymn says about God’s faithfulness either in a natural way or in a spiritual way…When some say that God is faithful, they mean that He is faithful to take care of their material needs. However, in 1 Corinthians 1:9 Paul says, “God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” God is faithful in this matter, but He may not be faithful to provide you a large house or a well-paying job. I would not deny the fact that God is faithful in caring for our welfare. My point is that God’s faithfulness is not according to our natural understanding.
20看看使徒保罗的苦难。他蒙神呼召、受神托付、委以负担、并受差遣,然而他无论去到哪里,都有难处。比如,他一开始传扬基督,就遭受逼迫。…难道这是神对保罗不信实么?不,这意思乃是:神的信实不是按照我们天然的领会。
20Consider the sufferings of the apostle Paul. He was called, commissioned, burdened, and sent by God, but wherever he went, he had troubles. For example, as soon as he began to preach Christ, he began to suffer persecution… Does this mean that God was not faithful to Paul? No, it means that God’s faithfulness is not according to our natural understanding.
21我们相信主耶稣时,也许期望有平安和祝福;但我们也许反而有了许多难处,失去了我们的安全、健康或财产。有些基督徒经历这样的事,就疑惑神的信实,问说为什么神不阻止艰难临到他们。…我们要领悟,神允许我们有难处,但祂在祂的定旨上是信实的,就是要使我们转离偶像,带领我们归向祂自己。我们的平安、安全、健康和财产,也许成了我们的偶像,而神是信实的,祂取去这些东西,为要我们饮于祂这活水的泉源。…神的信实就是要对付这些偶像,好使我们饮于祂。
21When we believed in the Lord Jesus, we might have expected to have peace and blessing. But instead we might have had many troubles and might have lost our security, our health, or our possessions. When some Christians experience such things, they may question God’s faithfulness and ask why He did not prevent hardships from happening to them. We need to realize that in allowing us to have troubles, God is faithful in His purpose to turn us from idols and bring us back to Himself. Our peace, safety, health, and possessions may become idols to us, and God is faithful to take these things away so that we may drink of Him as the fountain of living waters…God’s faithfulness is a matter of dealing with these idols and causing us to drink of Him.
22在引导我们进入祂的经纶上,神是信实的;祂的经纶乃是要我们喝基督,吃基督,享受基督,吸取基督,并吸收基督,好叫神在我们身上得着祂的扩增,以完成祂的经纶。这就是神的信实。(耶利米书生命读经,三二至三五页。)
22God is faithful in leading us into His economy, and His economy is for us to drink Christ, to eat Christ, to enjoy Christ, to absorb Christ, and to assimilate Christ that God may have His increase with us to fulfill His economy. This is God’s faithfulness. (Life-study of Jeremiah, pp. 26-29)

今日要点
24主题:神照着祂的经纶,信实的引导我们进入祂的交通
24
25引经:耶二13约四14
25
261.神信实的呼召我们进入交通:
26
27A.在林前一9保罗为什么在开头要说到,『神是信实的…』呢?因为神是信实的,但神的信实不是照着我们天然的领会或观念,不是说我们相信祂之后,祂就会信实的顾到我们物质的需要。
27
28B.那神在什么事上对我们是信实的呢? 9节接着说到,神召我们进入祂的交通,因此,神在祂经纶里的心意,作活水的泉源、源头,将祂自己分赐到我们里面作满足和享受,所以,在呼召我们进入享受的事上,神是信实的。
28
292.纵然我们不忠信,但神仍是信实的:
29
30A.神是信实的(God is faithful),但许多时候我们对祂呼召我们进入祂的心意并不忠信(We are unfaithful),耶二13指出,百姓不忠信地作了两件恶事,第一,离弃神这活水泉源,第二,为自己凿破裂不能存水的池子。
30
31B.纵然我们不忠信,但神仍是信实的,祂仍引导我们进入祂的经纶,借着祂经过过程,我们就能经历约四14,借着喝主所赐的水,这水就要在我们里面成为水源,涌上来成为水泉,并且涌流出来,涌入永远的生命,使祂得着扩增、扩大和彰显。
31
32应用:当我们遇到环境和难处,甚至疑惑神时,需要重温异象,看见神是信实的,为此我们需要转向活水的泉源,经历诗歌13首说,你的信实广大,你的怜悯每晨都是新鲜,我所需要一切全由你供给,好饮于祂自己。
