12生命不是知识,不是恩赐,也不是能力。生命乃是奇妙、独一且刚强的人位。…耶稣作我们的生命既是一个人位,我们就必须接触祂。…你可能认识耶稣二十多年了,但今天却失去祂的同在。我可能五分钟前才认识耶稣,但我如今有祂的同在。所以我得着祂,你却失去祂。我们必须忘掉我们的知识和已过的经历,甚至忘掉我们对耶稣所有的认识,那并没有什么意义。我们需要耶稣现今的同在。我们需要祂在这一刻并天天的同在。无论我们认识祂多少,或在已过对祂经历有多少,我们一直需要这位现时的人位。我们终日需要时时刻刻与基督有新的接触。祂是一个活的人位在我们里面,所以我们必须接触祂。我们必须告诉祂说,“主耶稣,我爱你!哦,主耶稣,我爱你!我恨恶并厌弃我自己。我将自己摆在一边,好叫我能天天时刻地接受你作我的生命。”(李常受文集一九七二年第一册,二九九至三○一页。)
12Life is not knowledge, it is not gifts, neither is it power. Life is a wonderful, unique, and strong person. Since Jesus as our life is a person, we must contact Him…You may have known Jesus for over twenty years and yet today miss His presence. Perhaps I came to know Him just five minutes ago, but I am in His presence. Thus, I get Him, and you miss Him. We must forget about our knowledge and past experiences. We even need to forget all that we know about Jesus. It means little. We need the present presence of Jesus. We need His presence at this very moment and day by day. We need the present person all the time, no matter how much we have known Him and experienced Him in the past. We need a new contact with Christ all day, moment by moment. He is a living person within us, so we must contact Him. We must tell Him, “Lord Jesus, I love You! O Lord Jesus, I love You! I hate and repudiate myself. I put myself aside so that I may take You as my life, moment by moment and day by day.” (CWWL, 1972, vol. 1, “Life and Building as Portrayed in the Song of Songs,” pp. 229-230)
