纲目
1三 吃生命树,就是享受基督作我们生命的供应,该是召会生活中首要的事(创二916启二7);召会生活的内容在于享受基督;我们越享受基督,召会生活的内容就越丰富。
1
2四 但我们要享受基督,就必须用起初的爱爱祂;我们若离弃对主起初的爱,就要失去对基督的享受,并且会失去耶稣的见证;结果,灯台要从我们挪去——4~7节。
2
3五 恢复起初的爱,就是在凡事上以主耶稣为第一;我们若使基督成为我们生活中的一切,意思就是我们已经得胜,不再失去起初的爱——西一18下约十四2123诗九十1九一1腓三13~14
3
4六 主向以弗所召会的说话,可归纳为四个关键辞;这四个辞的四个英文字都开始于字母“l”——爱(love) 、生命(life) 、光(light) 、灯台(lampstand) ; 我们必须在各方面、在凡事上让主耶稣居首位,以恢复起初的爱;这样,我们就会享受祂作生命树,而这生命立即成为生命的光(约八12);然后我们就会在日常生活中照耀,并团体地作为灯台照耀(启二1~7)。
4
5七 恶人的邪恶光景,乃是他们没有就近主来吃主并享受主(参赛五五1~26~7五七20~21);他们作许多事,却不来接触主,取用祂,接受祂,尝祂并享受祂;在神眼中,没有比这更邪恶的事(耶二13)。

6启二4~5 然而有一件事我要责备你,就是你离弃了起初的爱。所以要回想你是从哪里坠落的,并要悔改,行起初所行的。不然,我就要临到你那里;你若不悔改,我就把你的灯台从原处挪去。
6Rev. 2:4-5 But I have one thing against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore where you have fallen from and repent and do the first works; but if not, I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.
77 ……得胜的,我必将神乐园中生命树的果子赐给他吃。
77 …To him who overcomes, to him I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
8吃生命树,就是享受基督作我们生命的供应,该是召会生活中首要的事。召会生活的内容在于享受基督。……我们若要享受基督,就必须用起初的爱爱祂。我们若离弃了对主起初的爱,就要失去对基督的享受,并且会失去耶稣的见证;结果,灯台要从我们挪去。爱主、享受主以及成为主的见证,三者乃是并行的(启示录生命读经,一五一页)。
8Eating the tree of life, that is, enjoying Christ as our life supply, should be the primary matter in the church life. The content of the church life depends on the enjoyment of Christ…To enjoy Christ requires us to love Him with the first love. If we leave our first love toward the Lord, we will miss the enjoyment of Christ and lose the testimony of Jesus; consequently, the lampstand will be removed from us. These three things—loving the Lord, enjoying the Lord, and being the testimony of the Lord—go together. (Life-study of Revelation, p. 121)

9歌罗西书告诉我们,我们的基督必须是第一位。祂必须居首位(一18下)。基督必须是第一。……恢复起初的爱,就是在凡事上以主耶稣为第一。如果我们在生活上凡事以基督为第一,那意思就是我们胜过了失去起初的爱。
9Colossians tells us that our Christ must have the first place (1:18b). He must have the preeminence. Christ must be the first…To recover the first love is to consider the Lord Jesus as the first in everything. If we make Christ everything in our life, that means we have overcome the loss of the first love.
10在我们身上基督是否凡事居首位?我们必须胜过的第一项,乃是胜过失去基督作起初、上好、真实的爱。以色列的失败是他们弃绝了神,就是活水的泉源,而召会的堕落是离弃了起初的爱。事实上,离弃起初的爱就是离弃基督,没有在凡事上以祂为第一。
10Is Christ the first in everything with us? The first item we have to overcome is the loss of Christ as the first, as the best, as the real love. The failure of Israel was that they forsook God, the fountain of living waters, and the degradation of the church is the leaving of the first love. Actually, to leave the first love is just to leave Christ, not taking Him as the first in everything.
11我们应当在穿衣和发型的事上让主居首位。当我们在凡事上让基督居首位,这就是恢复失去的起初的爱。……有时当我穿衣时,我会对主说,“主啊,你喜欢这件衬衫么?你喜欢这双鞋么?”这样的谈话是非常亲密的,是以主为起初的爱。恢复起初的爱,乃是在大事小事上让主居首位。作丈夫的应当在对妻子谈话的方式上,让基督居首位。我们必须求主赦免我们在许多事上没有让祂居首位。
11We should give Christ the preeminence in the way that we dress and the way that we style our hair. When we give Christ the preeminence in everything, this is to recover the loss of the first love…At times when I am getting dressed, I talk to the Lord by saying, “Lord, do You like this shirt? Do You like this pair of shoes?” Such a talk is very intimate with the Lord as the first love. To recover the first love is to give Him the preeminence in great things as well as in small things. The husbands should give Christ the preeminence in the way that they talk to their wives. We need to ask the Lord to forgive us for all the things in which we do not give Him the preeminence.
12我们必须胜过离弃起初的爱,维持吃基督作生命树,并且作为灯台,照耀出神圣的光(参启二5下)。爱与生命有关,生命与光有关。爱、生命和光乃是三而一。你若使基督在凡事上居首位,你就有爱。你若有这爱,你就有生命,你就会享受主。你若有生命,这生命要成为你的光。
12We need to overcome the leaving of the first love, to maintain the eating of Christ as the tree of life, and to shine forth the divine light as the lampstand (Rev. 2:5b). Love is related to life, and life is related to light. Love, life, and light are a trinity. If you make Christ the first in everything, you have love. If you have this love, you have life, and you will enjoy the Lord. If you have life, this life becomes light to you.
13我们若享受基督作我们的爱、生命和光,我们就会在我们所在地方,如同灯台照耀,持守耶稣的见证(十二17下)。我们见证基督的身位,祂是神也是人。我们也见证基督的为人生活、钉十字架、复活、升天、降下和第二次的显现。……在我们日常生活中的每一面,我们应当照耀基督。这照耀乃是灯台的照耀。
13If we are enjoying Christ as our love, life, and light, we will keep the testimony of Jesus as the shining of the lampstand in our locality (12:17b). We will testify of Christ’s person as God and as man and of Christ’s human living, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, descension, and second appearing…In every aspect of our daily life, we should be shining forth Christ. This shining is the shining of the lampstand.
14我们必须记得这四个辞:爱、生命、光、灯台。这四个辞第一个是爱。我们必须在各方面、在凡事上让主耶稣居首位,以恢复起初的爱。这样,我们就会享受祂作生命树,而这生命立即成为生命之光(约八12)。我们就会在日常生活中照耀,并团体地作为灯台照耀。否则,灯台就要在个人一面从我们挪去,并在团体一面从召会挪去。主警告在以弗所的召会要悔改,恢复起初的爱,好享受祂。不然,灯台就要从他们挪去。我们需要爱、生命、光和灯台。这样,我们的所是就要成为主给我们的赏赐,我们也要在祂里面活着(得胜者,二七○至二七一、二七四至二七五页)。
14We need to remember these four words that begin with the letter l—love, life, light, and lampstand. These four l words start with love. We must give the Lord Jesus the preeminence in every way and in everything to recover the first love. Then we will enjoy Him as the tree of life, and this life right away becomes the light of life (John 8:12). Then we will be shining in our daily life and corporately as the lampstand. Otherwise, the lampstand will be removed from us individually and from the church corporately. The Lord warned the church in Ephesus to repent and recover the first love for the enjoyment of Him. Otherwise, the lampstand would be removed from them. We need love, life, light, and the lampstand. Then we will be rewarded by the Lord with what we are and live in Him. (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 4, “The Overcomers,” pp. 203-206)

今日要点
16主题:恢复起初的爱,享受基督作生命树
16
17引经:启二4~5启二7
17
181.享受基督作生命树,召会生活的首要之事:
18
19A. 吃生命树,享受基督作生命,该是召会首要的事,主在启二4~5责备以弗所召会说:「然而有一件事我要责备你,就是你离弃了起初的爱。所以要回想你是从哪里坠落的,并要悔改,行起初所行的」,并且在9节呼召以弗所召会的得胜者说,「得胜的,我必将神乐园中生命树的果子赐给他吃」,指明我们要恢复到生命线,吃生命树的基督,作我们生命的供应。
19
20B.召会的内容在于享受基督,我们越享受基督,召会生活的内容就会越丰富,但是,我们要享受基督有一个条件,就是我们必须用起初的爱爱祂,以弗所召会什么都有,有行为、有劳碌、有忍耐,能试验出假使徒、有忍耐,什么都有,却失去了最关键的一件,就是离弃了起初的爱,所以主要他们行起初所行的,就是恢复起初的爱,否则就会失去对基督的享受,甚至失去主的见证。
20
212.恢复起初的爱,在凡事上让基督居首位:
21
22A. 恢复起初的爱,并不困难,路乃是在凡事上以主耶稣为第一,我们让使基督成为我们生活的一切,让主居首位,这意思不是主是第一,家庭第二,事业第三,房子第四,而是主是家庭的一切,主是事业的一切,主是房子的一切,主是第一、第二、第三、第四,基督是一切,这样,我们就会恢复起初的爱,这就是主向七个召会为首的以弗所召会所说的话。
22
23B. 主向以弗所召会的说话,可以归纳为四个关键词,这四个词的四个英文字都开始于字母L:爱(Love)、生命(Life)、光(Light)、和灯台(Lampstand),我们要在凡事上让基督居首位,以恢复起初的爱(Love),然后我们就能享受基督作生命(Life),而这生命会立即成为生命的光(Light),然后我们就会在日常生活中照耀,并团体的成为金灯台(Lampstand),作耶稣的见证。
23
24应用:我们应当在穿衣和发型的事上让基督居首位,要操练穿衣时说,『主啊,你喜欢这件衬衫吗?你喜欢这双鞋吗? 』无论大事小事任何事,包括夫妻的说话,都应当让基督居首位。
