14约壹一5 神就是光，在祂里面毫无黑暗；这是我们从祂所听见，现在又报给你们的信息。
141 John 1:5 And this is the message which we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
15赛二5 雅各家啊，来吧，我们在耶和华的光中行走。
15Isa. 2:5 House of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.
16有分于基督并享受基督，唯一的路就是在光中。神与基督就是光。当我们转向主，进入祂的同在里，我们就在光中，并且自然而然开始享受祂作我们的分。
16The only way to partake of Christ and to enjoy Him is in the light. God and Christ are light. When we turn to the Lord and come into His presence, we are in the light and spontaneously begin to enjoy Him as our portion.
17所有的基督徒都该读圣经。然而，连我们读圣经的时候，也可能是在黑暗里。我们也许不在主的面光中读圣经。……读圣经正确的方法乃是不只用心思，也用寻求的灵，读的时候仰望主的面光。……我们以祷读的灵来读圣经，将自己向主敞开的时候，我们就被带进祂的面光中。自然而然我们就在光中，基督就成了我们的分（歌罗西书生命读经，七○页）。
17All Christians should read the Bible. However, it is possible to be in darkness even when we are reading the holy Word. We may read the Scriptures without being in the presence of the Lord…The proper way to read the Scriptures is not only with the mind but also with our seeking spirit, looking to the Lord’s countenance as we read…When we read the Bible in a pray-reading spirit, opening ourselves to the Lord, we are brought into His presence. Spontaneously, we are in the light, and Christ becomes our portion. (Life-study of Colossians, 2nd edition, p. 59)

18我们若因着与人争辩而在黑暗里，就无法享受基督。……在黑暗里，基督不能成为我们的分；祂只能作我们的逾越节。然而，连基督作我们的逾越节，也需要我们的悔改和认罪。
18If we are in darkness because of arguing with someone, we cannot enjoy Christ…Christ cannot be our portion in darkness. He can only be our Passover. However, even for Christ to be our Passover requires that we repent and confess.
19因为我发现争辩会把我摆在黑暗中，我就不能容许争辩的事。一次又一次，我因着黑暗的威胁，不得不停止说话。我祷告主，求祂赦免我彰显了我自己。借着这样的悔改和认罪，光回来了，我就能继续享受基督。
19Because I have found that arguing puts me in darkness, I cannot bear to argue. Time after time, I am forced to stop speaking because of the threat of darkness. I pray to the Lord and ask Him to forgive me for expressing the self. Through such repentance and confession the light returns, and I am able to continue to enjoy Christ.
20光就是神的同在。我们若要在光中，就必须从里面转向祂，然后祂的同在就成为照耀的光。这样，基督便实际地成为众圣徒的分。
20Light is the presence of God. If we would be in light, we must turn to Him from within. Then His presence will become the shining light. In this way Christ becomes the portion of the saints in a practical way.
21我们若要与神有交通，就必须在光中行（约壹一7）。我们在许多事上也许能够装假，但在光中享受基督这件事上，不可能装假。你可以欺哄别人，但你无法欺哄主。祂是太实际、太真实、太真诚、又太实在了。
21If we would fellowship with God, we must walk in the light (1 John 1:7). In many things we may be able to pretend, but in this matter of enjoying Christ in the light, there is no room for pretense. You may deceive others, but you cannot deceive the Lord. He is too real, genuine, honest, and practical.
22在以赛亚的时代，以色列人忙于他们的宗教，却失去了神的光，因为他们的心偏离了耶和华。他们有圣殿、祭司体系和祭物。但因着他们的心偏离了神，他们就在黑暗里。他们没有在光中行。故此，以赛亚呼吁他们行在耶和华的光中〔赛二5〕。这是悔改和认罪的呼召，为要把他们带进耶和华的同在中。
22During Isaiah’s time, the children of Israel were occupied with their religion, but they had lost the light of the Lord because their heart had turned from Him. They had the temple, the priesthood, and the sacrifices. But because they had turned their heart away from God, they were in darkness. They were not walking in the light. Therefore, Isaiah called them to come and walk in the light of the Lord (Isa. 2:5). This was a call to repent and to confess in order to be brought into the Lord’s presence.
23诗篇三十六篇八至九节，描述一个转向主，并且在主的同在中的人。这样的人必因神殿里的肥甘得以饱足，也必喝主乐河的水。他认识主是生命的源头，并且在主的光中得以见光。在这光中，众圣徒的分成了他的享受。我们需要住在基督里，并行在生命的光中（约八12），好叫我们在光中有分于基督（弗五14）。
23Psalm 36:8 and 9 describe a person who has returned to the Lord and who is in the Lord’s presence. Such a one is saturated with the fatness of God’s house and drinks of the river of the Lord’s pleasures. He knows the Lord as the fountain of life, and in the light of the Lord he sees light. In this light the portion of the saints becomes his enjoyment. We need to abide in Christ and walk in the light of life (John 8:12) that we may partake of Christ in the light (Eph. 5:14).
24我们需要更多接触主；我们需要以没有帕子遮蔽的脸和敞开的心来读祂的话。我们与主交通并跟随里面膏油的涂抹，就实际地在我们里面经历祂作生命。这生命就是光。我们若跟随里面膏油的涂抹，就必在光中。我们也借着与人真实的交通，而被带进光中。在交通中，有光的照耀。再者，我们需要在召会生活里，并参加聚会，因为在召会中并在聚会里，我们就在光中。在召会的聚会里，我们里面深处常常觉得，我们是在光中享受基督作我们的分。这一切都是凭借，叫我们能在光中享受基督作众圣徒的分（歌罗西书生命读经，七一至七三页）。
24We need to have more and more contact with the Lord. We need to read His Word with an unveiled face and an open heart. As we fellowship with the Lord and follow the inner anointing, we will experience Him as the life within us in a practical way. This life is the light. If we follow the inner anointing, we will be in light. We are also brought into the light by fellowshipping with others in a genuine way. In fellowship there is the shining of light. Moreover, we need to be in the church life and attend the meetings, for in the church and in the meetings, we are in the light. In the meetings of the church we often have the sense deep within that we are in the light enjoying Christ as our portion. All of these are means by which we may be in the light to enjoy Christ as the portion of the saints. (Life-study of Colossians, second edition, pp. 59-61)

今日要点
26主题：为着建造基督的身体，在光中经历基督作美地
26
27引经：约壹一5，赛二5
27
281.光就是神的同在：
28
29a.有分于基督并享受基督，惟一的路就是在光中，约壹一5说到，神就是光，光就是神的同在，我们若要在光中，同得所分给众圣徒的分—基督，就必须从里面转向祂，然后祂的同在就成为照耀的光，基督便实际地成为众圣徒的分。
29
30b.在以赛亚的时代，以色列人忙于他们的宗教，却失去了神的光，因为他们的心偏离了耶和华，他们有圣殿、祭司体系和祭物，却因着心偏离了神，而在黑暗里，故此，在赛二5，以赛亚呼吁“雅各家阿，来罢，我们在耶和华的光中行走。”
30
312.借着祷读主话而在光中：
31
32a.今天，我们要如何在光中呢？所有的基督徒都该读圣经，然而，很可能读圣经时，却在黑暗里，我们要以祷告的灵来读经，将自己向主这真光敞开，我们就会被带进祂的面光中，自然而然在光中，经历基督作我们的美地。
32
33b. 因此，我们必须“在光中”，好享受包罗万有的基督作美地，因为光就是神的同在，借此在光中经历祂作美地，结果就被建造为基督的身体，作神的家彰显祂，并作神的国，带来神的管治权。
33
34应用：消极一面，借着祷告和认罪，除去因与人争辩而落在黑暗里的罪，好使光回来，积极一面，我们每天早晨需要更多接触主，以没有帕子遮蔽的脸和敞开的心来读祂的话，好进入光中与主交通，并在生活中跟随膏油的涂抹，而终日活在光中。
