晨興聖言-經歷、享受並彰顯基督(W20-3)

晨興餧養
加三14 『為叫亞伯拉罕的福,在基督耶穌裏可以臨到外邦人,使我們藉著信,可以接受所應許的那靈。』
一15~16 『然而那把我從母腹裏分別出來,又藉著祂的恩典呼召我的神,…樂意將祂兒子啟示在我裏面,叫我把祂當作福音傳在外邦人中…。』
分享、有分於三重後裔的路,可見於加拉太書。在加拉太這卷短短的書裏,保羅陳明一個事實,就是他供應給人的這位基督,乃是終極完成的神作為那靈,成了我們的福。(三14。)…神福音的福乃是終極完成的三一神,作為終極完成的靈。…接受、經歷並享受包羅萬有之基督作為包羅萬有賜生命之靈(就是神全備福音那包括一切之福的集大成)的路,第一是藉著神將基督啟示在我們裏面。(一16上。)(李常受文集一九九一至一九九二年第一冊,五九三頁。)
信息選讀
凡真正重生得救的人都能見證,自從他們聽見福音,他們裏面就有一種揭示。他們聽見福音以後,耶穌這個人位的景象就開始在他們裏面照亮。…我們不是只聽見了一些事,我們乃是在裏面看見了一些事。我們裏面若沒有對基督的這種揭示,我們就不會得救。
我們所看見的基督,是深奧的基督,祂的大小乃是整個宇宙的量度。宇宙的量度是無限的。…但保羅說,我們若讓基督安家在我們心裏,就能與眾聖徒一同認識這宇宙的闊、長、高、深,也就是基督的量度。(弗三17~18。)…哦,基督的豐富是追測不盡的!
今天基督仍在我裏面照亮,我也不斷更多的看見祂。我們都需要這樣的揭示。這是神所作的。基督徒生活的每一面都出於這個揭示。我們是照著我們所看見的基督,過基督徒生活。…我的基督徒生活,乃是出於一天過一天所看見的基督。基督必須不僅啟示到我們裏面,更是啟示在我們裏面。…從我們相信主耶穌的那一日起,神就一直在我們裏面揭示基督。這個揭示是永不中止的。(李常受文集一九九一至一九九二年第一冊,五九四至五九五頁。)
我們越得著神兒子的啟示,祂就越活在我們裏面。祂越活在我們裏面,祂對我們就越成為神應許亞伯拉罕,那福音獨一且中心的福。這就是說,祂對我們是那包羅萬有的地,實化為包羅萬有、經過過程、賜生命的靈。…倘若我們放下自己的觀念,將我們的心轉向主,注意靈,並花時間在主的話上,基督就要啟示在我們裏面,活在我們裏面,並成形在我們裏面。一天過一天,祂要更多成為我們的享受。結果,這活的人位要實實際際的使我們成為新造。藉著神的兒子活人位裏面的啟示,加拉太書最終要把我們帶到新造。
得著裏面、主觀、屬靈啟示的路乃是:一直放下我們的觀念,將我們的心轉向主,並告訴主我們在祂以外不持守甚麼,我們的心完全是為著祂的。然後,我們若注意我們的靈,並花時間在主的話上,我們就要得著啟示。…保羅寫加拉太書的負擔,以及我們今天的需要,乃是要把我們帶進一種光景裏,使我們滿了對神兒子的啟示,並且因著基督在我們裏面活著,成形在我們裏面,我們也不斷享受基督作那包羅萬有的靈,如此我們便成為新造。(加拉太書生命讀經,四五至四六頁。)

WEEK 20 — DAY 3
Morning Nourishment
Gal.
3:14 …That the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ
Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
1:15-16
But when it pleased God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and
called me through His grace, to reveal His Son in me that I might announce Him as the gospel among the Gentiles…
The
way to share in, partake of, and participate in the threefold seed can
be seen in the book of Galatians. In the short book of Galatians Paul
presents the fact that the very Christ whom he ministered to people is
the consummated God as the Spirit to be our blessing (3:14)…The blessing
of God’s gospel is the consummated Triune God as the consummated
Spirit. The way to receive, experience, and enjoy the all-inclusive
Christ as the allinclusive life-giving Spirit, the aggregate of the
all-embracing blessing of the
full gospel of God, is first by God’s
revealing of Christ in us (1:16a). (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 1, “The
Central Line of the Divine Revelation,” p. 456)
Today's Reading
Those
who have been genuinely regenerated and saved can testify that since
the time they heard the gospel, within them there has been an unveiling.
After they heard the gospel, the scenery of a person, Jesus, began to
shine within them…We have not just heard something; we have seen
something within. We could not have been saved unless we had had such an
unveiling of Christ within us.
The
Christ whom we have seen is a profound Christ, One whose size is the
dimensions of the entire universe. The dimensions of the universe are
unlimited…However, Paul says that if we allow Christ to make His home in
our hearts, we will have the ability to know with all the saints the
breadth, the length, the height, and the depth of this universe, that
is, the dimensions of Christ (Eph. 3:17-18)…Oh, the riches of Christ are unsearchable!
Today
Christ is still shining in me, and I am continually seeing more of Him.
We all need such an unveiling. This is God’s doing. Every aspect of the
Christian life comes out of this unveiling. We live the Christian life
according to the Christ whom we have seen…My Christian life comes out of
the Christ whom I have seen day after day. Christ must be revealed not
only into us but in us…Since the day we believed in the Lord Jesus,
God’s unveiling of Christ has been going on in us. This unveiling
never ceases. (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 1, “The Central Line of the Divine
Revelation,” pp. 457-458)
The
more revelation we receive of the Son of God, the more He will live in
us. The more He lives in us, the more He will become to us the unique
and central blessing of the gospel, which God promised to Abraham. This
means that He will be to us the all-inclusive land realized as the
all-inclusive, processed, life-giving Spirit…If we drop our concepts,
turn our heart to the Lord, pay attention to the spirit, and spend time
in the Word, Christ will be revealed in us, He will live in us, and He
will be formed in us. Day by day He will become more of an enjoyment to
us. As a result, this living person will make us a new creation in a
practical way. The book of Galatians eventually brings us to the new
creation by way of the inward revelation of the living person of the Son
of God.
The
way to receive an inward, subjective, spiritual revelation is always to
drop our concepts, to turn our heart to the Lord, and to tell the Lord
that we hold on to nothing besides Him and that our heart is wholly for
Him. Then if we pay attention to our spirit and spend time in the Word,
we will receive revelation. Paul’s burden in writing the book of
Galatians, and our need today, is that we be brought into a state where
we are full of the revelation of the Son of God and thereby become a new
creation with Christ living in us, being formed in us, and being
enjoyed by us continually as the all-inclusive Spirit. (Life-study of Galatians, pp. 35-36)
