纲目
1肆 耶利米二章十三节说,『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』:
1
2一 神的百姓所作的恶事乃是他们离弃神作他们的泉源、源头,并且转向神以外的源头。
2
3二 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以外,没有什么能解我们的干渴,也没有什么能使我们成为祂的扩增,使祂得着彰显—约四13~14
3
4三 在神眼中,恶人,作孽的人,就是不来饮于祂的人;(赛五五7;)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。(五七20~21,参五五1~2。)

5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。
5Jer. 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.
6约四13~14 耶稣回答说,凡喝这水的,还要再渴;人若喝我所赐的水,就永远不渴……。
6John 4:13-14 Jesus answered and said to her, Everyone who drinks of this water shall thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall by no means thirst forever…
7神在祂经纶里的心意,是要作活水的泉源,源头,以满足祂的选民,作他们的享受。这享受的目标,是要产生召会,作神的扩增,神的扩大,好成为神的丰满,使祂得着彰显。这是神在祂经纶里的心愿,喜悦(弗一59)。这思想的完满发展是在新约里,但其种子是撒在耶利米二章十三节。
7God’s intention in His economy is to be the fountain, the source, of living waters to satisfy His chosen people for their enjoyment. The goal of this enjoyment is to produce the church as God’s increase, God’s enlargement, to be God’s fullness for His expression. This is the heart’s desire, the good pleasure (Eph. 1:5, 9), of God in His economy. The full development of this thought is in the New Testament, but it is sown as a seed in Jeremiah 2:13.
8这思想在约翰的著作中得着发展。在约翰一章一节、十四节,我们看见那是神的话成了肉体,丰丰满满地有恩典,有实际。十六节继续说,“从祂的丰满里我们都领受了,而且恩上加恩。”在四章,主耶稣对撒玛利亚妇人说到活水(10、14)。在七章三十八节祂说,“信入我的人,就如经上所说,从他腹中要流出活水的江河来。”……启示录二十二章一至二节给我们看见,在新耶路撒冷里有生命河涌流,在这河中长着生命树,作生命的供应,支持并维持全城。在约翰的著作中所看见的,的确是耶利米二章十三节里所撒种子的长大(耶利米书生命读经,二一页)。
8This thought is developed in the writings of John. In John 1:1 and 14 we see that the Word, which was God, became flesh, full of grace and reality. Verse 16 goes on to say, “For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.”…The Lord Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman concerning living water (4:10, 14). In John 7:38 He said, “He who believes into Me, as the Scripture said, out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.”…Revelation 22:1 and 2 show us that in the New Jerusalem the river of life flows and that in this river grows the tree of life as the life supply to support and sustain the entire city. What we have in the writings of John is surely the growth of the seed sown in Jeremiah 2:13. (Life-study of Jeremiah, pp. 17-18)

9这思想借着保罗的著作得着加强。譬如,林前十二章十三节说,“我们…… 都已经在一位灵里受浸,成了一个身体,且都得以喝一位灵。”在那灵里受浸,乃是进入那灵,消失在祂里面;喝那灵,乃是把那灵接受进来,使我们全人被祂浸透。在十章三至四节,保罗用旧约的预表,不仅说到喝,也说到吃。“都吃了一样的灵食,也都喝了一样的灵水;所喝的是出于随行的灵磐石,那磐石就是基督。”灵食指吗哪(出十六14~18),预表基督作我们每日生命的供应;灵水指流自裂开磐石的活水(十七6),预表那流自钉死十架而复活之基督的灵,作我们包罗万有的水。我们饮于神这活水,乃是为着召会作祂的扩增;我们的喝,乃是为着产生祂的扩大,祂的丰满,使祂得着彰显。
9This thought is strengthened by Paul’s writings. For example, 1 Corinthians 12:13 says, “In one Spirit we were all baptized into one Body… and were all given to drink one Spirit.” To be baptized in the Spirit is to get into the Spirit and to be lost in Him; to drink the Spirit is to take the Spirit in and to have our being saturated with Him. In 1 Corinthians 10:3 and 4 Paul, using the Old Testament types, speaks not only of drinking but also of eating. “All ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed them, and the rock was Christ.” The spiritual food refers to manna (Exo. 16:14-18), typifying Christ as our daily life supply; the spiritual drink refers to the living water that flowed out of the cleft rock (17:6), typifying the Spirit, who flowed out of the crucified and resurrected Christ as our all-inclusive drink. Our drinking of God as the living water is for the church as His increase; our drinking is for the producing of His enlargement, His fullness, for His expression.
10在耶利米二章十三节,我们不仅看见积极的事—活水的泉源,也看见消极的事—以色列人离弃这泉源,为自己凿出破裂不能存水的池子。这消极的事指明,以色列人和创世记三章的亚当一样堕落了。亚当因着离弃生命树,转向另一棵树—善恶知识树—而堕落了。以色列人因着离弃神作活水的泉源,并且转向神以外的源头而堕落了。这源头由以色列为自己努力凿出的池子所表征。
10In Jeremiah 2:13 we see not only something positive—the fountain of living waters—but also something negative—the children of Israel’s forsaking this fountain to hew out for themselves broken cisterns, which hold no water. This negative thing indicates that Israel, like Adam in Genesis 3, had become fallen. Adam fell by forsaking the tree of life and turning to another tree—the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Israel fell by forsaking God as the fountain of living waters and turning to a source other than God. This source is signified by the cisterns, which Israel labored to hew out for themselves.
11神有负担,叫以色列饮于祂,好成为祂的扩增,作祂的丰满,使他们彰显祂。以色列本该饮于神这活水的泉源,但他们反倒作了两件恶事:第一件恶事是离弃神;第二件恶事是凿出池子作另一个源头。然而,那些池子是破裂不能存水的。这指明除了神这活水的泉源,没有什么能解我们的干渴,没有什么能满足我们。除了神自己分赐到我们里面作活水以外,没有什么能使我们成为祂的扩增,使祂得着彰显(耶利米书生命读经,二一至二三页)。
11God was burdened that Israel would drink Him to become His increase as His fullness that they might express Him. Israel should have drunk of God as the fountain of living waters, but instead they committed two evils. The first evil was to forsake God; the second evil was to hew out cisterns as another source. Those cisterns, however, were broken and could hold no water. This indicates that apart from God as the fountain of living waters, nothing can quench our thirst, nothing can satisfy us. Nothing apart from God Himself dispensed into us as living water can make us His increase for His expression. (Life-study of Jeremiah, pp. 18-19)

今日要点
13主题:神作活水的目的
13
14引经:耶二13约四13~14
14
151.恶人离弃神这活水泉源:
15
16a.神在祂经纶里的心意,是要作活水的泉源,源头,以满足祂的选民,作他们的享受,这享受的目标,是要产生召会,作神的扩增,神的扩大,好成为神的丰满,使祂得着彰显,这思想的完满发展是在新约,但这思想的种子是撒在耶利米二章。
16
17b.耶二13说,『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』,神的百姓成了恶人,他们作两件恶事,第一,离弃神这活水的泉源,第二,为自己凿不能存水的池子。
17
182.不成为恶人,不作恶事的路:
18
19a.百姓离弃神作他们的泉源、源头,并且转向神以外的源头,而百姓凿池子,描绘以色列人用人的劳碌辛苦,制作一些东西顶替神,在神眼中,恶人,作孽的人,就是不来饮于祂的人,恶事就是他们没有就近主来吃喝享受主。
19
20b.除了神自己分赐到我们里面作活水之外,没有什么能解干渴,也没有什么能使我们成为祂的扩增,使祂得彰显,这思想在约翰著作中得着发展,约四13~14,主要撒玛利亚妇人向主要活水喝,至终她喝了活水,丢下水罐子,向人传扬福音。
20
21应用:我们的晨兴,不能只是读过了事,而该挖去一切的石头,让井涌上水来,好使我们能够喝得饱足,喝得容光焕发,被祂所充满,而在生活中,成为祂的扩大和彰显。
