晨興餧養
Morning Nourishment
弗四13『直到我們眾人都…達到了長成的人，達到了基督豐滿之身材的度量。』
Eph. 4:13 "Until we all arrive...at a full-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
15~16『…我們就得以在一切事上長到祂，就是元首基督裏面；本於祂，全身藉着每一豐富供應的節，並藉着每一部分依其度量而有的功用，得以聯絡在一起，並結合在一起，便叫身體漸漸長大，以致在愛裏把自己建造起來。』
15-16 ...We may grow up into Him in all things, who is the Head, Christ,out from whom all the Body, being joined together and being knit together through every joint of the rich supply and through the operation in the measure of each one part, causes the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love."
感謝主，我們都有心爲着祂的恢復，至少我們多多少少也都爲着主在地上的行動對祂認真。然而，我有一個大問題：你們在生命裏長大了多少？
Thank the Lord that we all have a heart for His recovery and that, at least to some extent, we all mean business with the Lord for His move on this earth. Yet, I have a big question: how much growth in life have you gained?
此外，我們中間許多人還沒有照着我們所該有的來盡功用。如果我們缺少在生命裏長大，缺少合式的盡功用，主的恢復怎麼能往前？最終我們會回到基督教的光景裏，重複基督教可悲的歷史。因此，這是一件很要緊的事！（成全訓練信息，四頁）。
Furthermore, many among us still do not function as we should. If we are lacking the growth in life and lacking the proper functioning, how can the Lord’s recovery go on? Eventually we will drift back into the situation of Christianity. Then we will be a repetition of the sad history of Christianity. So, this is a crucial matter! (Perfecting Training, p. 11)

Today's Reading
在召會生活的實行裏，該強調的首要之事就是生命。有時候別人要我們告訴他們，他們那個地方有什麼不對；我們絕不該說什麼。一個人如果死了，你告訴他在這件事或那件事上錯了，有什麼益處呢？就算他能領會，他也改不過來。
In the practice of the church life, the primary thing to be emphasized is life. Sometimes we are asked by others to tell them what is wrong in their place, but we should never do it. If a person is dead, what is the profit to tell him that he is wrong in this matter or that matter? Even if he could realize, he could not change.
在主恢復的召會生活裏，某處也許有個真正的地方召會。但如果沒有生命的實行，召會就是死的。召會也許在各方面都是對的，卻是死的。太平間裏的屍體是真人，卻是已經死了的人。因此，在召會生活的實行裏，主要的事乃是生命。我們爲着生命的事，永遠不會太過。其他的事也許會強調過度，但生命的事絕不會強調得過度。…對於生命來說，最重要的事就是長大。如果沒有長大，不是沒有生命，就是有什麼不對。我們需要在生命裏長大。
In the Lord’s recovery of the church life in a certain place, there may be a genuine local church. But without the practicality of life, it will be dead. It may be right in every aspect, but it is dead. The dead body in the mortuary was a real person, but it is now a dead person. Thus, the primary thing in the
practicality of the church life is life. We can never be too much for the matter of life. Other things can be over-emphasized, but the matter of life can never be over-emphasized....The most significant thing with life is growth. If there is no growth, it means that either there is no life, or there is something wrong. We need to grow in life.
如果在地方召會裏，眾聖徒中間有一些難處；解決難處最好的路，就是將他們的注意力轉向餧養的事，
轉向生命長大的事。醫生知道，最好的藥物就是食物。一個人如果吃得合式且充足，從食物來的養分就會應付各種疾病和輭弱。如果聖徒合式的吃主耶穌，在得餧養一段時間以後，一切死亡就都會被生命吞滅了。絕不要企圖運用你的手段來解決難處。在政治上也許可以那樣作，但在召會裏卻不然。人在召會裏越耍政治手腕，就越發死。他會先叫自己死，然後又叫別人死。我們要誠實、坦率、真摯，絕不玩弄政治。惟一有效的乃是生命的長大。我們要學習幫助人長大。
If there are some problems among the saints in a local church, the best way to solve the problems is to turn their attention to the matter of feeding, to the matter of growth in life. Medical doctors know that the best medicine is food. If one eats properly and sufficiently, the nourishment from the food will take care of all kinds of disease and weakness. If the saints feed on the Lord Jesus properly, after a certain time all the deadness will be swallowed up by life. Do not ever try to solve a problem by your maneuvering. In politics that might be fine but not in the church. In the church, the more one plays politics the more he will be deadened. He will first deaden himself and then deaden others. Be honest. Be frank. Be sincere. And never play politics. The only thing that works is the growth in life. Learn to help people grow.
我們〔該〕領悟…，今天在召會生活的實行上，生命乃是我們所必須關注最好、最主要，和首要的事。…主恢復的歷史顯示，在已過四、五百年間，幾乎所有的教訓都已經恢復了，恩賜也已經恢復到了極點，甚至走到極端。但生命的事從來沒有得着充分的恢復（召會生活的專特、包容與實行，五二至五四、五○頁）。
We realize that today the best thing, the primary thing, the first thing,that we have to take care of in the practicality of the church life is the matter of life. The history of the Lord’s recovery shows that in the past four or five hundred years almost all the teachings have been recovered. Also, the gifts have been recovered to the uttermost and even to the extreme. However, the matter of life has never been adequately recovered. (The Speciality, Generality, and Practicality of the Church Life, pp. 47-49, 45)
我們要對生命有進一步的認識，也必須知道什麼是生命的長進。有許多弟兄姊妹，向着主的心情不能
說不熱切，所付上的代價也不能說不彀多，但因不認識真正的生命長進是什麼，就有許多錯誤的看法和追
求，因而生命在他們裏面真正的長進就十分有限。這是何等可惜的事！所以爲着使我們能在生命的路上，
有正確的認識，和正當的追求，…〔就需要〕專一的來看什麼是生命的長進（生命的認識，二○九頁）。
If we desire to have further knowledge of life, we must also know what the growth of life is. There are many brothers and sisters whose hearts’ love toward the Lord cannot be said to lack fervency, and the price they have paid also cannot be considered insufficient, yet because they do not know what the real growth of life is, they have many mistaken views and pursuits; thus, the real growth of life in them is quite limited. How unfortunate this is! Therefore, in order that we may have accurate knowledge and proper pursuit in the path of life, we shall spend a little time to see what the growth of life is. (The Knowledge of Life, p. 175)
