13主耶稣在六章五十七节说,“活的父怎样差我来,我又因父活着,照样,那吃我的人,也要因我活着。”子不凭自己活着。然而,这意思不是子被摆在一边,停止存在。子当然继续存在,但祂不活自己的生命,祂乃是活父的生命。子与父是这样的同有一个生命和一个生活。我们今天与基督的关系也是这样。我们与基督没有两个生命。我们只有一个生命和一个生活。我们凭祂活着,而祂在我们里面活着。我们若不活,祂就不活;祂若不活,我们就不能活。一面,我们被了结;另一面,我们继续存在,但我们不是在基督之外存在。基督活在我们里面,我们与祂同活。因此,我们与祂同有一个生命,同过一个生活。
13In John 6:57 the Lord Jesus said, “As the living Father has sent Me and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me.” The Son did not live by Himself. However, this does not mean that the Son was set aside and ceased to exist. The Son, of course, continued to exist, but He did not live His own life. Instead, He lived the life of the Father. In this way the Son and the Father had one life and one living. It is the same in our relationship with Christ today. We and Christ do not have two lives. We have one life and one living. We live by Him, and He lives in us. If we do not live, He does not live; and if He does not live, we cannot live. On the one hand, we are terminated; on the other hand, we continue to exist, but we do not exist without Christ. Christ lives within us, and we live with Him. Therefore, we and He have one life and one living.
