啟三7     …那聖別的、真實的,…這樣說。

  14    …那阿們,那忠信真實的見證人,…這樣說。

約壹一3   我們將所看見並聽見的,也傳與你們,使你們也可以與我們有交通;而且我們的交通,又是與父並與祂兒子耶穌基督所有的。

 

啟示錄三章七節啟示基督是那聖別的、真實的。基督要把生命分賜給人,就必須是聖別的,也必須是真實的。

基督是忠信真實的見證人(14下)。…祂的見證從不說謊。這也是為着分賜。說謊者、作假見證的人絕不能把生命分賜給人。你如果要將生命賜給人,你就必須忠信,必須真實。你必須沒有一點虛假,你纔有資格把生命賜給人。因為基督是活着的,是聖別、忠信、真實的,所以祂有資格把生命分賜到我們裏面(李常受文集一九八三年第二冊,三一七頁)。

信息選讀

啟示錄三章十四節上半說,基督是那阿們的。『阿們』是甚麼意思?這是獨特、屬天、神聖的語言。…你說阿們的時候,你的意思是『是的』。哦,神聖的分賜太奇妙了。是的!哦,三一神把祂自己分賜到我裏面。是的!我真喜樂我在召會生活裏。阿們!是的!榮耀的召會生活!是的,這是真實的!永遠是『是的』。阿們是一種永遠的是。『是的』就是基督自己。基督有一個名字,祂的名字叫阿們—是的!這也是為着生命的分賜。

從這樣一位供應給人的基督,已經產生出神的兒女來。基督供應給人的結果,乃是有許多人從神而生。…這些兒女有永遠的生命(約三15~16、36,約壹一2,五12~13、20)。有永遠的生命,意思就是有一些活的分賜。因着你有永遠的生命,這生命就在你裏面湧流。這在你裏面的湧流就是生命的分賜。

我們藉着住在主裏面,並在光中生活行動,有分於永遠生命的交通(一3~7,二6)。交通就是湧流。有一個生命在神與我們之間湧流。甚至在祂身體眾肢體中間也有這樣一道流。這流臨到我們眾人,甚至達到神自己。所以,這是一種交通。電是很好的說明:房子裏的電燈和發電廠中間有電流,那流是所有電燈之間的交通。電流使每盞燈與發電廠有交通。

我們裏面有一道流,那流是永遠的生命,那流也是交通。我們都有分於這樣的交通。有分於這樣的交通,也許不像彼得提到有分於神聖的性情(彼後一4)那樣具體,但這交通更有可享受的。比方說,雞有兩種喫法:一種是喫雞肉,一種是喝雞湯。你輭弱、生病的時候,雞湯比雞肉更好。雞肉好比神聖的性情,而雞湯好比神聖生命的交通。你喜歡那一樣?你如果很強健,你也許喜歡喫雞肉。這很不錯,但是喝雞湯更有味。…如果沒有雞肉,你就不可能有雞湯。照樣,你如果沒有神聖的性情,你就不會有永遠生命的交通。神聖的性情是具體的實質,而神聖生命的交通便是這個實質的交通;這是為着生命的分賜。有分於永遠生命之交通的路,就是住在主裏面,並且在光中生活行動(李常受文集一九八三年第二冊,三一七至三二○頁)。

WEEK 6 — DAY 5

Morning Nourishment

Rev. 3:7 …These things says the Holy One, the true One…

        14…These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness…

1 John 1:3 That which we have seen and heard we report also to you that you also may have fellowship with us, and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

In Revelation 3:7 Christ is revealed as the Holy One and the true One. In order to dispense life to others, He must be holy, and He must be true.

Christ is the faithful and true Witness (v. 14b)…He never tells a lie in His testimony. This also is for dispensing. A liar, a false witness, can never give life to others. If you are going to give life to others, you must be faithful, and you must be true. You must have no falsehood. Then you will be qualified to give life to others. Because He is living and holy and faithful and true, He is qualified to impart life into us. (CWWL, 1983, vol. 2, “The Divine Dispensing of the Divine Trinity,” pp. 241-242)

Todays Reading

Revelation 3:14a says that Christ is the Amen. What does Amen mean? This is the unique, heavenly, and divine language…When you say Amen, you mean “that’s it.” Oh, the divine dispensation is so wonderful! That’s it! Oh, the Triune God dispenses Himself into me! That’s it! I am so happy that I am in the church life. Amen! That’s it! The glorious church life! That’s it! It is real; it is yes forever. Amen is a kind of eternal yes. “That’s it” is just Christ Himself. Christ has a name, and His name is called Amen—That’s it! This is also for life dispensing.

Out of Christ being ministered, the children of God have been brought forth. The issue of Christ being ministered is that many have been born of God. These children first of all have the eternal life (John 3:15-16, 36; 1 John 1:2; 5:12-13, 20). To have the eternal life simply means to have some living dispensing. Because you have the eternal life, it flows within you. This flowing within you is the dispensing of life.

We are partakers of the fellowship of the eternal life by abiding in the Lord and walking in the light (1:3-7; 2:6). The fellowship is the flowing. There is a life that flows between God and us. Even between the members of His Body there is such a flow. This flow reaches all of us and even God Himself. So this is a kind of fellowship. Electricity is a good illustration. Within the lamps in a house and within the power plant itself there is the flow of electricity. That flow is the fellowship between all the lamps. The current brings every lamp into the fellowship with the plant.

Within us there is a flow. That flow is the eternal life, and that is the fellowship. We all are partaking of such a fellowship. To partake of such a fellowship may not be so substantial as partaking of the divine nature, which Peter mentions (2 Pet. 1:4). But this fellowship is more enjoyable. For example, there are two ways to eat chicken: one is to eat the solid chicken, and the other is to eat soup made of chicken. When you are weak or sick, chicken soup is better than chicken. We may use the chicken to illustrate the divine nature, and chicken soup to illustrate the fellowship of the divine life. Which do you prefer? If you are a strong person, you may like solid chicken. This is good, but it is more tasteful to eat the chicken soup…Without a solid chicken, you could not have chicken soup. Likewise, without the divine nature you could not have the fellowship of the eternal life. The divine nature is the solid thing, the substance, and the fellowship of the divine life is the fellowship of this substance. This is for the life dispensing. The way to partake of the fellowship of the eternal life is to abide in the Lord and walk in the light. (CWWL, 1983, vol. 2, “The Divine Dispensing of the Divine Trinity,” pp. 242-243)
