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哀三22~24 “我们不至消灭,是出于耶和华的慈爱,因祂的怜恤不至断绝;每早晨这些都是新的;你的信实,极其广大。我的魂说,耶和华是我的分;因此,我要仰望祂。”
15Lam. 3:22-24 It is Jehovah’s lovingkindness that we are not consumed, for His compassions do not fail; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. Jehovah is my portion, says my soul; therefore I hope in Him.
16恶人的邪恶光景,乃是他们没有就近主来吃主并享受主。(参赛五五1~2。)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。(圣经恢复本,赛五七20注1。)
16The evil condition of the wicked is that they do not come to the Lord to eat and enjoy the Lord (cf. Isa. 55:1-2). They do many things, but they do not come to contact the Lord, to take Him, to receive Him, to taste Him, and to enjoy Him. In the sight of God, nothing is more evil than this. (Isa. 57:20, footnote 1)
17以色列人没有饮于神这活水的泉源,反而饮于他们的偶像。所以,神用巴比伦人对付这些偶像,也毁灭对他们成了偶像的耶路撒冷,甚至圣殿。我们要看见,我们不比以色列人好。任何事物对我们都能成为偶像。但神在完成祂经纶的事上是信实的;因着祂的信实,祂就对付我们的偶像,使我们饮于祂。我们都需要饮于神这活水的泉源,将基督接受到里面,并吸收祂,这样祂就能扩增,以完成神的经纶,借着祂的配偶得着彰显。(耶利米书生命读经,三五页。)
17Instead of drinking of God as the fountain of living waters, Israel drank of their idols. Therefore, God used the Babylonians to deal with these idols and also to destroy Jerusalem and even the temple, which had become an idol to them. We need to see that we are not better than Israel. Anything can become an idol to us. But God is faithful in fulfilling His economy. In His faithfulness He deals with our idols that we may drink of Him. We all need to drink of God as the fountain of living waters, receiving Christ into us and assimilating Him, so that He may increase for the fulfillment of God’s economy to have His expression through His counterpart. (Life-study of Jeremiah, p. 29)
信息选读
Today’s Reading
18我们也许以为,因着我们的失败,我们是无望的。…哀歌三章二十二至二十五节…是在巴比伦人毁灭了耶路撒冷,焚烧了圣殿,并将许多人掳去以后写的。…当然,以色列人必定觉得,神丢弃了他们,他们完了。耶利米一面哭泣,一面写作。在他的写作里他能说,他们不至消灭,是出于耶和华的慈爱。他能说,他们仍在那里,神没有丢弃他们。首领、申言者和祭司失败了,但神的怜恤不至断绝,反而,每早晨这些都是新的。耶利米甚至能宣告,耶和华是他的分,他要仰望祂,因那等候祂的,必蒙祂善待。为什么在神里面有盼望?因为神不失望。
18We may think that because of our failure, we are hopeless…Lamentations 3:22-25…[was] written after the Babylonians had destroyed Jerusalem, burned the temple, and carried away many into captivity…Surely, the people of Israel must have felt that God had given them up and that they were finished. On the one hand, Jeremiah was weeping; on the other hand, he was writing. In his writing he could say that it was of Jehovah’s lovingkindness that they were not consumed. He could say that they were still there and that God had not given them up. The princes, the prophets, and the priests had failed, but God’s compassions do not fail; rather, they are new every morning. Jeremiah could even declare that Jehovah was his portion and that he hoped in Him, for He is good to those who wait on Him. Why is there hope in Him? There is hope in God because with God there is no disappointment.
19我们要看见,以色列的失败为基督开了路,使祂进来作他们的义。今天我们的情况也是一样。我们的失败为基督开路,使祂进来。…照耶利米的预言,无论以色列多么邪恶、奸恶,无论他们离弃神多少次,去为自己凿出破裂的池子,他们仍要得复兴。在以色列复兴时,基督将是他们的公义、救赎和生命,(耶三一33~34,)基督也要被高举为他们的中心与普及。神要进来,将祂自己这神圣的生命分赐到祂的选民里面,作他们的生命,和生命之律连同其性能,使他们认识神并活神。至终,他们要和保罗以及今天在基督里的信徒一样,成为新造。
19We need to see that Israel’s failure opened the way for Christ to come in to be their righteousness. The situation is the same with us today. Our failure opens the way for Christ to come in. According to the prophecy of Jeremiah, no matter how evil and wicked Israel may be and no matter how often they have forsaken God to hew out broken cisterns for themselves, Israel will be restored. In the restoration of Israel, Christ will be their righteousness, redemption, and life (Jer. 31:33-34), and Christ will be exalted to be their centrality and universality. God will come in to dispense Himself into His elect as the divine life to be their life and life law with its capacity to know God and to live God. Eventually, they, like Paul and the believers in Christ today, will be a new creation.
20神是信实的,但我们既不忠信,也不贞洁,反而有了许多别的丈夫。我们失败亏欠神以后,也许得着一些怜悯和恩典,因而悔改哭泣。…我们悔改哭泣的时候,神就欢乐。…我们悔改以后,应当开始饮于活水,赞美神,为凡事感谢祂,并且享受祂。这是神所要的。除了我们享受基督以外,神对任何事物都不感兴趣。
20Whereas God is faithful, we are neither faithful nor chaste but go to many other husbands. After failing God, we may receive some mercy and grace and therefore repent and weep…While we are repenting and weeping, God is rejoicing…After repenting, we should begin to drink of the living waters, praising God, giving thanks to Him for everything, and enjoying Him. This is what God wants. God is not interested in anything other than our enjoyment of Christ.
21今天我们若失败亏欠神,我们不该失望;神有路来对付我们。祂有路使我们成熟,然后将我们带进新耶路撒冷。…神是忍耐、同情并怜恤的,祂会花时间使我们成熟。每位信徒,无论现在软弱或刚强,都要在新耶路撒冷里,在其中每个人都要成熟。无论我们是殷勤或只是稍微寻求神,神都有路使基督成为我们的公义、救赎、生命、生命之律、生命的性能,这样我们就能成熟。(耶利米书生命读经,三五至三九页。)
21If we fail God today, we should not be disappointed. God has a way to deal with us. He has a way to cause us to mature and then to bring us into the New Jerusalem. God is patient, sympathetic, and compassionate, and He will take the time to make us mature. Every believer, whether presently weak or strong, will be in the New Jerusalem, and everyone there will be mature. Whether we seek God diligently or only a little, God has a way to make Christ our righteousness, our redemption, our life, our life law, and our life capacity so that we can be matured. (Life-study of Jeremiah, pp. 29-31, 29, 31)

今日要点
23主题:神信实的调度一切,为着百姓享受祂自己
23
24引经:哀三22~24
24
251.神的信实极其广大:
25
26A.在耶利米写哀歌的时期,巴比伦人已经毁灭了耶路撒冷,焚烧了圣殿,并将许多人掳去,以色列人必定觉得,神丢弃了他们,他们已经了了,耶利米一面哭泣,一面写作。
26
27B.但在他的写作中,他却说,他们不至于消灭,是出于耶和华的慈爱,他却说,每早晨,神的慈爱和怜悯不至于断绝,甚至都是新的,甚至他宣告,神的信实极其广大,耶和华是他的分,为什么申言者这样宣告?因为神是信实的。
27
282.神信实的对付行恶事的恶人:
28
29A.因着恶人的邪恶光景,没有就近主来吃主并享受主,他们这些恶人就行了恶事,他们没有饮于神这活水泉源,反而饮于偶像,为此神信实的对付我们,祂信实的取去我们的偶像,甚至用列国来对付这些偶像。
29
30B.借着神信实的对付我们的偶像,包括凡在我们里面所爱的任何事物、环境平安、个人的舒适安逸、财物等,甚至允许我们有难处,使我们有失败,也给基督开路,使祂能进来作我们的义。
30
31应用:不要害怕失败,失败为神开路,使人谦卑柔软,转向灵里预见主,以摸着祂作为怜悯和恩典,因而悔改哭泣,恢复饮于活水的生活。
