14 我们要实行父的旨意,就必须进窄门,走狭路——13~14节:

8太七13~14 你们要进窄门;因为引到毁坏的,那门宽,那路阔,进去的人也多;引到生命的,那门窄,那路狭,找着的人也少。
8Matt. 7:13-14 Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it. Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way that leads to life, and few are those who find it.
9有些工作也许是在主的名里作的,却不是照着神的旨意作的。你在作这样的工作,还是在实行神的旨意?……我们无论作什么,都必须确信我们在实行天父的旨意。否则,主耶稣会对我们说,“行不法的人。”〔太七23〕甚至在主的名里,却不照着父的旨意预言,也是一种不法。不仅如此,在主的名里,却不照着神的旨意赶鬼、行异能,在属天的王眼中也视为不法(马太福音生命读经,三三九页)。
9Certain works may be done in the Lord’s name and yet not be done according to the will of God. Are you doing this kind of work, or are you doing God’s will?…We must have the assurance in whatever we do that we are doing the will of the heavenly Father. Otherwise, the Lord Jesus will say to us, “Workers of lawlessness.” Even prophesying in the Lord’s name, but not according to the will of the Father, is a type of lawlessness. Moreover, casting out demons in the Lord’s name and doing works of power in the name of the Lord, but not according to the will of God, are also considered in the eyes of the heavenly King as lawlessness. (Life-study of Matthew, 2nd ed., pp. 286-287)

Today's Reading
10无论哪一种赛跑,跑者必须跑在正确的跑道上。你也许跑得比别人快,但你若跑出你跑道的线外,你就不被承认了。……今天许多基督教工人的工作,不受属天跑道的约束。在他们自己眼中,他们在主的名里,并为着主作了许多的事。然而在主眼中,他们的工作是一种过犯,违犯了属天的跑道。因此他们的工作是不法。在马太七章二十一至二十三节,主的话对我们众人是有力的警告,叫我们不该只看重预言、赶鬼或行异能。我们必须顾到属天的跑道。……在主的恢复里,有限制的跑道,我们奔跑时必须受限制。我们若跑在跑道上,没有跑出去,我们就要蒙主称许。
10The runners in any race must run in the proper lanes. Although you may run faster than others, your running will not be recognized if you run outside the lines of your lane…Today the work of many Christian workers is not restricted by the heavenly lines. In their own eyes they have done a great deal in the Lord’s name and for the Lord. In the eyes of the Lord, however, their work is a kind of transgression, a violation of the heavenly lines. Hence, their work is lawlessness. The Lord’s word in Matthew 7:21-23 is a strong word of warning to us all that we should not care only for prophesying, for casting out demons, or for works of power. We must take care of the heavenly lines…There are constricting lines in the Lord’s recovery, and we must be constricted in our running. If we run between the lines, not outside of them, we will be approved by the Lord.
11诸天之国宪法的总结是要引我们进窄门,走狭路。……我们不该看重预言、赶鬼或行异能。我们只该顾到实行我们天父的旨意。……我们凭着我们里面父的生命和性情,就能知道父的旨意。父的性情总是会告诉我们“是”或“不是”。你若照着神圣的性情,并且在跑道内奔跑,神圣的性情就会指明:“是,不错,继续往前。”但你若不照着神圣的性情奔跑,或跑出线外,神圣的性情就会说,“别跑这边。”不需要任何人告诉你要作什么,因为规律、限制、神圣的性情就在你里面。这性情告诉你,你在哪里。在赛跑时,因为跑者能看见跑道,就不需要别人告诉他是否跑在线内。同样的,我们里面也有限制的跑道,就是神圣生命和神圣性情的跑道,我们能说出我们在哪里。照着我们里面神圣的性情,我们不能在聚会中使用摇滚乐。你也许尝试各种属世的方法,但神圣的性情不同意这一切方法,并且指明你犯规了。所有国度的子民,所有父所重生的人,他们里面都有祂的生命和性情。父的生命和性情指明我们是否在狭路上。让我们都照着父的性情来赛跑。
11The consummation of the constitution of the kingdom of the heavens is to usher us in through the narrow gate and onto the constricted way…We should not care for prophesying, for casting out demons, or for works of power. Instead, we should care only for doing the will of our heavenly Father…We can know [the Father’s will] by the Father’s life and nature within us. The Father’s nature will always tell us yes or no. If you are running according to the divine nature and within the constricted lines, the divine nature will indicate, “Yes, you are right; go on.” But if you are not running according to the divine nature or if you step outside the lines, the divine nature will say, “Don’t go this way.” There is no need for anyone to tell you what to do, for the regulating, constricting, divine nature is within you. This nature tells you where you are. Because a runner in a race can see the lines, he needs no one to tell him whether or not he is inside the boundaries. Likewise, we have the constricting lines within us, the lines of the divine life and the divine nature, and we can tell where we are. According to the divine nature within us, we cannot use rock music in our meetings. Although you may try various worldly methods, the divine nature would disagree with them all and indicate that you are transgressing the lines. All those who are the kingdom people, all those who have been regenerated by the Father, have His life and nature within them. The Father’s life and nature indicate whether or not we are on the constricted way. Let us all run the race according to the Father’s nature.
12在二十四节王说,“所以,凡听见我这些话就实行的,好比一个精明人,把他的房子盖在磐石上。”这里的磐石不是指基督,乃是指基督智慧的话—那启示祂诸天之上父旨意的话。国度子民的生活和工作,必须建立在新王的话上,以成就天父的旨意。这就是进窄门,走那引到生命的狭路(马太福音生命读经,三三九至三四一页)。
12In verse 24 the King said, “Everyone therefore who hears these words of Mine and does them shall be likened to a prudent man who built his house upon the rock.” Rock here does not refer to Christ but to His wise word, the word that reveals the will of His Father who is in the heavens. The living and work of the kingdom people must be founded on the word of the new King for the accomplishing of the will of the heavenly Father. This is to enter in through the narrow gate and walk on the constricted way that leads to life. (Life-study of Matthew, 2nd ed., pp. 287-288)
13参读:圣经要道,第二十六题。
13
今日要点
14主题:借着进窄门走狭路,实行神纯全的旨意
14
15引经:太七13~14,补太七23
15
161.不按神许可的旨意,而是按神纯全的旨意:
16
17A.在太七23主说,你们这些行不法的人,离开我去罢。 在恩典时代,神许可我们做一些积极的事,这些工作可能真的是在主的名里作的,却不是按着神许可的旨意,但却不是神纯全的旨意,我们可能得主许可, 却成为不法的人,而在主来的时候,无法享受主的同在,无法进到千年国度的享受,而要在外面哀哭切齿。
17
18B.接着主就从24节说到,听见我这话就实行的,好比一个精明人,把房子盖在磐石上,这磐石乃是指基督智慧的话,启示祂诸天之上父旨意的话, 国度子民的生活和工作,需要顾到实行我们天父纯全的旨意,需要凭借我们里面天父的生命和性情,使我们不该只在外面注意神迹奇事,而该注意里面的动机 和源头。
18
192.借着进窄门走狭路,实行神的旨意:
19
20A.在太七13~14说到,『你们要进窄门;因为引到毁坏的,那门宽,那路阔,进去的人也多;引到生命的,那门窄,那路狭 ,找着的人也少。 』若将太七13~14与后面这段关乎天父旨意的话放在一起,我们就能看见,我们要实行父的旨意,就必须进窄门,走狭路。
20
21B.窄门把旧人、己、肉体、人的观念、世界同其荣耀,都摒除在外;只有合乎神旨意的,才能进去,当我们走在狭路上,我们就受到一种奥秘、看不见 、内在的管治所约束,并且活在这管治之下,这就是属天的赛道,不是跑得快就好,我们必须跑在正确的跑道上,但愿我们为着神的工作, 能够不违犯这赛道,而受属天跑道的约束,使我们在那日得蒙称许。
21
22应用:我们不能拿着这些话指着基督徒团体,指证他们为主作许多,在主名里的预言、赶鬼、行异能,而以为我们没有行这些事,就没有不法,我们仍需要 蒙光照,知道自己是否跑在线外,好使我们活在国度的实际里,好被带进国度的实现里。
