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.
