14我们读彼前二章十八至二十五节时,看见彼得在经历上非常丰富。在这段他说到恩典、范本、救主、牧人和监督。基督是我们里面的生命,祂也是给我们跟随的榜样。我们若凭着作我们里面生命的基督而活,就是凭着内住的基督自己而活,我们就会经历属灵影印的过程,成为基督的复制品。同时,我们会经历祂作拯救我们的救主,作带领并引导我们的牧人,并作照顾我们的监督。哦,彼得的经历是丰富的,他的写作是美妙的!愿我们都照着这些经文里所启示的,操练享受基督。愿我们都享受祂作恩典,作榜样,并作美妙的救主、牧人和监督(彼得前书生命读经,二三一至二三二页)。
14As we read 1 Peter 2:18-25, we see that Peter was very rich in experience. In this portion he speaks of grace, the writing copy, the Savior, the Shepherd, and the Overseer. Christ is the life within us, and He is also the model for us to follow. If we live by Christ as our inward life, that is, by the indwelling Christ Himself, we will undergo the process of spiritual xeroxing to become a reproduction of Christ. At the same time, we will experience Him as the Savior saving us, as the Shepherd leading and guiding us, and as the Overseer caring for us…May we all practice to enjoy Christ according to what is revealed in these verses. May we all enjoy Him as grace, as the model, and as the wonderful Savior, Shepherd, and Overseer. (Life-study of 1 Peter, p. 194)
