10在行传一章四至八节,复活的主在公开升天之前,嘱咐门徒要等候在圣灵里受浸,告诉他们说,“圣灵降临在你们身上,你们就必得着能力,并要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地、撒玛利亚,直到地极,作我的见证人。”然后门徒看见主从橄榄山升到天上(9~11)。看见这异象后,他们回耶路撒冷去,上了一间楼房,并且同心合意,坚定持续地祷告(12~14)。钉十字架、复活并升天之基督的异象,加强了他们,使他们放弃他们的家乡、事业、前途、家庭和亲戚。他们从自己和世界里释放出来,并且同有一个目标;因此,他们同心合意。这是我们需要有的经历。我们若被自己的情况、前途和目标霸占,就不可能同心合意。我们要同心合意作工,就需要看见钉十字架、复活并升天之基督的异象,并完全脱离自己和世界。
10In Acts 1:4-8, prior to His public ascension, the resurrected Lord charged the disciples to wait for the baptism in the Holy Spirit, telling them, “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Then the disciples saw the Lord ascending into heaven from Mount Olivet (vv. 9-11). After seeing this vision, they returned to Jerusalem, went to the upper room, and continued steadfastly with one accord in prayer (vv. 12-14). The vision of the crucified, resurrected, and ascended Christ strengthened them to give up their country, career, future, home, and relatives. They were delivered from the self and the world and had one goal. Hence, they were in one accord. This is the experience that we need to have. If we are preoccupied with our own situation, future, and goal, it will be impossible for us to be in one accord. In order for us to work in one accord, we need to see the vision of the crucified, resurrected, and ascended Christ and be fully delivered from the self and the world.
