9西一9~10 所以,我们自从听见的日子,也就为你们不住地祷告祈求,愿你们在一切属灵的智慧和悟性上,充分认识神的旨意,行事为人配得过主,以致凡事蒙祂喜悦,在一切善工上结果子,借着认识神而长大。
9Col. 1:9-10 Therefore we also, since the day we heard of it, do not cease praying and asking on your behalf that you may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, to walk worthily of the Lord to please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and growing by the full knowledge of God.
10充分认识神的旨意,意思就是对神的计划有启示,以致借着这启示,我们知道神在这宇宙中计划要作的。……对神计划的启示会为我们开路,使我们对基督有更多的经历。……因此,我们需要花更多时间学习关于在神计划里的基督。这是我们必须读圣经的一个最重要的原因。我们读圣经不是要得着道理或教训,乃是要得着对基督的启示,和对神永远计划充分的认识(李常受文集一九六一至一九六二年第四册,一六七至一六八页)。
10To be filled with the full knowledge of God’s will simply means to have the revelation of God’s plan so that through this revelation we know what God plans to do in this universe. The revelation of God’s plan opens the way for us to have more experience of Christ…Thus, we need to spend more time to learn about Christ in the plan of God. This is one of the most important reasons why we have to read the Scriptures. We read the Scriptures not to receive doctrine or teachings but to receive the revelation of Christ and the full knowledge of God’s eternal plan. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, “The Mystery of God and the Mystery of Christ,” pp. 129-130)

Today's Reading
11圣经打开宇宙的帘子,宇宙的幔子,给我们看见在神心思里的是什么,以及神在这宇宙中所计划要作的是什么。这计划就是要使祂的儿子成为一切。神的愿望、计划和心思,是要使基督成为一切。这是全本圣经的内容。因此,我们需要花更多时间,带着这样的眼光和期待来读圣经;不是期待认识更多的道理和教训,乃是期待更多认识基督,并更多得着对神永远计划充分的认识。
11The Bible opens the universal curtain, the universal veil, to show what is in the mind of God and what it is that God plans to do in this universe. This plan is to make His Son everything. God’s desire, plan, and mind is to make Christ everything. This is the content of the entire Scriptures. Thus, we need to spend more time to read the Scriptures with such a view and expectation—not expecting to learn more doctrines and teachings but expecting to know Christ more and to receive more of the full knowledge of God’s eternal plan.
12首先我们得着对神计划的认识,然后基于那认识,我们“行事为人配得过主”〔西一10〕。……认识神的旨意和神永远的计划,使我们行事为人能配得过主。我们的启示指引我们的行事为人。我们的行事为人受我们所得着之启示的控制。
12First we receive the knowledge of God’s plan and then, based on that knowledge, we “walk worthily of the Lord” [Col. 1:10]…Knowing the will of God and the eternal plan of God enable us to walk worthily of the Lord. Our revelation directs our walking. Our walk is under the control of the revelation that we have. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, “The Mystery of God and the Mystery of Christ,” p. 130)
13整卷歌罗西书清楚地告诉我们神的旨意。神照着祂的旨意,使祂一切的丰满都居住在基督里面,使基督在万有中居首位,并使基督在我们里面作我们的生命以及我们的一切。我们要领悟这个事实:我们与基督同死、同埋葬并同复活,而且我们已经脱去旧人—亚当,并穿上了新人—基督。我们也要操练将基督的死应用于我们身体的肢体,让基督的平安在我们心里作仲裁并施行管治,又要让祂的话住在我们里面,使我们彰显祂。简而言之,神的旨意一点不差就是基督自己,祂是一切,又在一切之内。我们必须清楚,神的旨意是要基督作我们的一切。我们需要据有基督,经历祂,并在凡事上应用祂。
13The entire book of Colossians tells us clearly about the will of God. According to God’s will, He caused all His fullness to dwell in Christ, giving Christ the first place in all things and causing Christ to be in us as our life and our all. We need to realize the fact that we are dead, buried, and raised with Christ and that we have put off the old man, Adam, and put on the new man, Christ. We also need to exercise to apply His death to the members of our body, let His peace arbitrate and govern in our hearts, and let His word dwell in us so that we express Him. In brief, the will of God is nothing other than Christ, who is all and in all. We must be clear that the will of God is for Christ to be everything to us. We need to possess Christ, experience Him, and apply Him in all things.
14我请求你们众人下定决心,靠主的恩典天天为三件事祷告。首先,为你自己祷告:“主,天天提醒我,要在你里面行事为人,经历你,并在日常生活中凡事应用你。”……我们需要在日常生活中,以这样的方式经历基督并应用祂。……第二,我们需要为众圣徒祷告,不单为着同我们在一起的人,还要为远处的圣徒祷告。要记念他们,为他们祷告,也为全召会祷告。第三,祷告求主恢复在祂的众儿女当中,……对祂旨意的认识与经历。要为你们自己、为众召会并为着恢复祂的旨意祷告;祂的旨意乃是关于包罗万有的基督和祂真正的彰显。这乃照着主的心意。……神永远的旨意乃是要使基督作我们的一切。这样我们就会认识神的旨意,知道我们所追求的是什么,并且知道如何为全召会祷告。不仅如此,我们也就会知道,神要在这时代恢复对祂永远定旨、计划和旨意的认识与经历。我们仰望主天天加给我们负担,为我们自己、为众圣徒并为着在这末后的日子恢复这件事而祷告(李常受文集一九六一至一九六二年第四册,一六八至一六九、六五三至六五四页)。
14I would ask you all to make a decision that by the grace of the Lord, you would pray every day for three things. First, pray for yourself: “Lord, day by day remind me to walk in You, experience You, and apply You to everything in my daily life.”…We need to experience Christ and apply Him in such a way in our daily life…Second, we need to pray for the saints, not only for those who are with us but also for those who are far away. Remember them and pray for them and for the whole church. Third, pray that the Lord would recover the knowledge and experience of His will among all His children…Pray for yourself, for the churches, and for the recovery of His will concerning the allinclusive Christ and His genuine expression. This is according to the Lord’s mind…The eternal will of God is that we would have Christ as everything to us. Then we will know God’s will, know what we are pursuing, and know how to pray for the whole church. Moreover, we will know that God will recover the knowledge and experience of His eternal purpose, plan, and will in this age. We look to the Lord to burden us every day to pray for ourselves, for the saints, and for the recovery of this matter in these last days. (CWWL, 19611962, vol. 4, pp. 489-490)

今日要点
16主题:借着充分认识神的旨意,而过活基督、完成神定旨的生活
16
17引经:西一9~10
17
181.过完成神定旨的生活,需要充分认识神的旨意:
18
19A.我们要过为着完成神定旨的生活,我们需要充分认识神的旨意,因着文化掺杂进到歌罗西的召会生活中,所以在西一9上保罗说,愿你们在 一切属灵的智慧和悟性上,充分认识神的旨意,这里神的旨意,乃是神永远定旨的意愿,是神关于基督之经纶的意愿。
19
20B.充分认识神的旨意,意思就是对神的计划有启示,以至于借着这个启示,使我们知道神在这宇宙中所要做的。 当我们有这启示,就会为我们开路,使我们对基督有更多的经历,所以这个顺序乃是:第一,读经,第二,借着读经得着对基督的启示,对神永远计 画充分的认识,第三,使我们对基督有更多的经历。
20
212.充分认识神旨意的结果-活基督:
21
22A.圣经打开宇宙的帘子,宇宙的幔子,给我们看见在神心思里的是什么,以及神在这宇宙中所计画要作的是什么,这计画就是要使祂的儿子成为一切, 神的愿意、计画和心思,都是使基督成为一切,这是全本圣经的内容,也是保罗写歌罗西书的负担,因此,我们不该读圣经读到一个情形,认识更多的知识和 道理,甚至成为活串珠,却没有对基督有更多的经历和活出。
22
23B.当我们充分认识神的旨意,西一9下半接着说,行事为人配得过主,以致凡事蒙祂喜悦,行事为人配得过主,乃是充分认识神旨意的结果,也 可以说,基于那认识,我们就能结果子,使我们在这种配得过主的行事为人里,被基督所据有,在一切事上应用祂活基督。
23
24应用:我们需要靠主的恩典天天为三件事祷告:首先,为自己祷告说,主,天天提醒我,要在你里面行事为人,经历你,应用你。 第二,我们要为众圣徒祷告,为全召会祷告,第三,我们要祷告主,求主恢复在祂众多儿女当中,对祂旨意的认识和经历。
