6弗二4 然而神富于怜悯，因祂爱我们的大爱。
6Eph. 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us.
7罗十一32 因为神将众人都圈在不信从之中，为要怜悯众人。
7Rom. 11:32 For God has shut up all in disobedience that He might show mercy to all.
8〔罗马九章〕所启示的原则乃是，一切皆在于神的怜悯。使徒〔保罗〕把这原则应用在以色列人身上，叫我们看见一切发生在以色列人身上的事，都是出于神的怜悯。
8[Romans 9] reveals the principle that everything depends on God’s mercy. The apostle applies this principle to the Israelites. He shows us that everything that happened to the Israelites was of God’s mercy.
9热心与追求并没有用，不热心、不追求也没有用。等太久或不等，跑得太快或者跑得太慢，都没有用。……一切在于神的怜悯。只有圣灵才能引领人到正确的地步。你总得有一次看见什么是神的怜悯。……不论你是一次的看见，或是经过一段过程的看见，当你摸到这件事，就会摸着一个事实；不是一个感觉，乃是一个事实。这事实就是：一切皆在于神的怜悯（倪柝声文集第三辑第十一册，一至二页）。
9Zeal and pursuit are of no use. Neither is the absence of zeal and pursuit of any use. Waiting too long, not waiting long enough, being too quick, or not being too quick—none of these is of any use…Everything depends on the mercy of God. Only the Holy Spirit is able to lead men to a proper standing. There must be at least one time that a person sees God’s mercy…Whether we see this matter all at once or realize it through a process, the minute we touch this matter, we touch the fact—not a feeling but the fact—that everything depends on God’s mercy. (CWWN, vol. 57, “The Resumption of Watchman Nee’s Ministry,” p. 3)

10神的怜悯乃是一个事实，事实是不在乎感觉的。以重生得救为例，我们常对罪人说，你总要有一次清楚悔改信主。……人在对神的怜悯的认识上，原则是一样的。他总得有一次清楚地碰见神的怜悯。
10God’s mercy is a fact. A fact is not dependent on feeling. Take the matter of regeneration as an example. We often tell sinners that they must have a onetime definite experience of repentance and believing in the Lord …It is the same in principle in regard to man’s understanding of God’s mercy. There must be at least one time when a person definitely touches God’s mercy.
11有三种人是应当受神的对付的，就是意志强的人、情感强的人和心思强的人。……〔人的意志、情感、心思〕需要被神打断。神要对付人的强点，过于对付他的弱点。有的时候，强点拦阻人灵命的进步多过他的弱点。人在这三方面没有受过对付，就不能认识神的怜悯。
11Three kinds of people need God’s dealings: those who are strong in their will, those who are strong in their emotion, and those who are strong in their mind… [The will, the emotion, and the mind] must experience God’s breaking. God deals with man’s strong points more than He deals with his weak points. Man’s strong points often hinder him from spiritual progress even more than his weak points. Unless a man is dealt with in these three areas, he cannot know God’s mercy.
12人被神对付过，在他的属灵生命上就有了调整。……有的人等太久，有的人不等。……有的人里面的人不够大，外面的人太大。……有的人心思太强，有的人情感、意志太强。……这些光景都需要调整。
12After a man has been dealt with by God, he will be tempered in his spiritual life…Some people wait too long, and others do not wait long enough…Some people are not strong enough in their inner man; their outer man is too strong…Some people are too strong in their mind. Others are too strong in their emotion or their will…These conditions require tempering.
13我们的属灵生命若要有合式的调整，就需要我们这个人的光景是恰好的，也不太多，也没有不够。好比打弹球机（pinball machine），需要球送得刚刚好，才能拿到分数，不然左边有钉，右边也有钉。在属灵的追求上有许多的试探，我们的心思、情感和意志都会成为拦阻，太过和不够都会落在危险里。
13If we want our spiritual life to be well tempered, we need to attune our condition to a proper balance. We must neither be too much nor be too little. This can be compared to shooting on a pinball machine; there are pins to the left and to the right, and the balls must be directed at the optimum angle before they can score. There are many pitfalls in our spiritual journey; our mind, emotion, and will can all become hindrances to us. If we are too much or too little, we fall into danger.
14一切都是在于神的怜悯。我没有得救以前，准备留美。假如早去两个月，就不会与余慈度小姐相会，或许就永远不会得救。即使后来有机会，我也不一定能信。乃是神的怜悯叫我不早不晚，刚好在那个时候碰见余慈度小姐。
14Everything depends on God’s mercy. Before I was saved, I planned to go to America. If I had left two months earlier, I would not have met Sister Dora Yu, and I might never have been saved. Even if I had been given the chance later, I might not have believed. It was God’s mercy that I met Miss Dora Yu at that time. It was neither too early nor too late.
15只有神能够作得恰到好处。我们人说话，总是容易说得太过或者不够。没有一个人能传一篇道是适合各种人的需要的，即使使徒保罗、彼得也是一样。因为话讲出来，总不容易说得恰到好处，因此就容易叫人误会。
15Only God can do things in just the right proportion. We are prone to speak either too much or not enough. No one can preach a message that will meet everyone’s need. Even the apostle Paul and the apostle Peter faced the same problem. When words come out of a person’s mouth, it is difficult for the words to come out just right. This is why it is easy for people to misunderstand.
16召会二千年以来的道路乃是仰望神的怜悯。只有神的怜悯，才能够叫我们被调整过来。我常对一些青年人说，五年以后，你才会知道，一切都是在于神的怜悯（倪柝声文集第三辑第十一册，二至五页）。
16The way of the church during the past two thousand years is a way of looking to the mercy of God. Only God’s mercy can temper us. I have often told the young people that they may have to wait for five years before they will realize that everything is of God’s mercy. (CWWN, vol. 57, “The Resumption of Watchman Nee’s Ministry,” pp. 3-6)

今日要点
18主题：看见并摸着神的怜悯，而活在神的怜悯之下
18
19引经：弗二4，罗十一32
19
201.一切在于神的怜悯：
20
21A.保罗写罗马九章所启示的原则乃是，一切皆在于神的怜悯，使徒保罗把这原则应用在以色列人身上，叫我们看见一切发生在以色列人身上的事，都是出于神的怜悯，热心与否，追求与否都没有用，等或不等，跑得快或慢也都没有用，一切在于神的怜悯。
21
22B.神的怜悯乃是一个事实，这与感觉无关，人要认识神的怜悯，就需要受过对付，特别是人强的部分，神要对付人的强点，过于人的弱点，有时候，人的强点拦阻人属灵生命的进步过于人的弱点，因此，人的心思、情感和意志，若没有受过对付，就不能认识神的怜悯。
22
232.看见并摸着神的怜悯，使人谦卑下来：
23
24A.弗二4说，『然而神富于怜悯，因祂爱我们的大爱』，我们总得有一次看见神的怜悯，并且确定的碰着神的怜悯，使我们眼睛得开，看见一切在于神的怜悯，当我们摸着了，就会摸着这个事实，只有神的怜悯才能够叫人真正的谦卑下来，召会惟有仰望神的怜悯，才能叫我们被调整过来。
24
25B.罗十一32说，『因为神将众人都圈在不信从之中，为要怜悯众人』，一面，我们该有分福音的传扬，但另一面，连人的得救，也都在于神的怜悯，李弟兄自己见证，他得救以前，准备留学美国，假若早两个月，就不会遇见福音，也就不会得救，即便后来有机会，也不一定能信，不早不晚，不偏不倚，就刚好那时候听见福音，这是神的怜悯。
25
26应用：我们的属灵生命若要有合适的调整，就需要我们这个人的光景是恰好的，不偏不倚，不多不少，为此我们需要过祷告的生活，使我们不在属灵的追求上有许多的试探，不使心思、情感和意志成为拦阻，一面我们积极有分召会的事奉，另一面我们又不凭自己的力量，而学习仰望神的怜悯。
