晨興餧養

利十四17   將手掌裏所剩的油抹些在那求潔淨之人的右耳垂上,和右手的大拇指上,並右腳的大拇指上,就是抹在贖愆祭牲的血上。

太十六24   於是耶穌對門徒說,若有人要跟從我,就當否認己,背起他的十字架,並跟從我。

利未記十四章六至十節以及十四至十八節…告訴我們,麻風患者先是藉血得着潔淨。血是基礎。然後在血的基礎上抹油,就是塗上膏油。血和膏油是塗在患者的右耳垂上、右手的大拇指上,並右腳的大拇指上。耳表徵我們的聆聽,手表徵我們的工作,腳表徵我們的行動。我們的聆聽是很大的難處。我們受攪擾,因為我們聽了許多消極的事。因着這是有罪的,所以我們的耳,我們的聆聽,需要血。在某種意義上,我們對許多事最好是聾子。我們的工作和行動也需要血的潔淨。

因為我們的聆聽、工作和行動錯了,所以我們是患麻風的,需要先藉基督救贖的血所潔淨。然後我們需要在血之上塗抹膏油。塗抹的膏油連同血完成了我們的潔淨。最終,我們的潔淨是藉着基於基督潔淨之血而有那靈的神聖交通(三一神作三部分人的生命,一八五至一八六頁)。

信息選讀

神聖的交通乃是三一神分賜到我們這些三部分的人裏面,使我們與神成為一。實際上,這一乃是交通。交通的希臘原文意一同參與,這一同參與就產生了一。當丈夫有分於妻子,而妻子有分於丈夫時,他們就是一。實際上,交通就是一。當神與我們有交通,我們也與神有交通,那就使神與我們成為一。在全宇宙中有一個大的一,這個大的一就是神聖的交通。我們這些三部分

的人與三一神是一。在約翰十七章,主禱告說,使他們成為一,正如我們是一一樣。22下)主的願望是要使我們眾人成為一,正如父、子、靈是一一樣。召會的一乃是神聖三一那神聖之一的一部分。至終,召會與神聖的三一在交通中乃是一。

因着你裏面對另一位弟兄有障礙,你與他的交通就不會那麼徹底。因着我們裏面神聖交通的障礙,我們可能回避和某些聖徒的接觸。我們的交通不是徹底的,裏面仍有障礙存留,因為我們在經歷中沒有十字架。

十字架將基督帶給我們。我已經與基督同釘十字架,現在活着的不再是我,乃是基督在我裏面活着。這就是十字架。基督活在我裏面作忍耐。祂活在我裏面作一切屬人的美德,這些美德就是人所認為的倫常道德。我們需要基督,但如果我們沒有經歷十字架,我們就無法經歷基督。詩歌四百六十四首說,不死就不生。這意思就是:沒有十字架,就沒有基督。不僅如此,如果沒有基督,就沒有那靈;如果沒有那靈,就沒有交通。這就是需要十字架的原因。主在馬太十六章二十四節…用他的十字架這辭,指明我們每個人都有特別一分的十字架,要除去我們這個人。

十字架主要是為着對付己。主說我們若要跟從祂,就必須否認己,背起自己的十字架。實際上,背十字架就是否認己,把己置於死地,一直應用基督的十字架在己身上。如果我們有很強的己,被每一件事和每一個人得罪,我們就無法有真實的交通。為要有平面的交通,我們需要否認自己。否認己的意思就是對自己沒有感覺。這樣,我們就絕不會被得罪。我們需要經歷十字架,好加深我們對神聖交通的經歷(三一神作三部分人的生命,一八六至一八九、一九一頁)。

WEEK 1 — DAY 6

Morning Nourishment

Lev. 14:17 "And from the rest of the oil that is in the palm of his hand the priest shall put some on the lobe of the right ear of the one who is to be cleansed and some on the thumb of his right hand and some on the big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering."

Matt. 16:24 "...If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me."

   In Leviticus 14:6-10, 14-18...we are told that a leper is to be cleansed firstly by the blood. The blood is the base. Then upon the base of the blood,the oil, the ointment, is applied. The blood and the ointment are applied to the lobe of the leper’s right ear, to the thumb of his right hand, and to the big toe of his right foot. The ear signifies our hearing, the hand signifies our working, and the foot signifies our walking. Our hearing is a big problem.We are troubled because we listen to many negative things. Because this is
sinful, our ear, our hearing, needs the blood. In a sense, it is good for us to be “deaf” to many things. Our working and walking also need the cleansing of the blood.

    Because we are wrong in our hearing, working, and walking, we are lepers.Because we are lepers, we need to first be cleansed by Christ’s redeeming blood. Then upon the blood we need the anointing oil. The anointing oil with the blood consummates our cleansing. Consummately, our cleansing is by the divine fellowship of the Spirit based upon the cleansing blood of Christ.(The Triune God to Be Life to the Tripartite Man, p. 159)

Today's Reading

    The divine fellowship is the dispensing of the Triune God into us,the tripartite men, making us and God one. Actually, this oneness is the fellowship. The Greek word for fellowship, koinonia, means joint
participation, and this joint participation issues in oneness. When a husband participates in his wife and his wife participates in him, they are one.Actually, fellowship is just oneness. When God is fellowshipping with us,and when we are fellowshipping with God, that makes God and us one. In the whole universe, there is a big oneness, and this big oneness is the divine fellowship. We, the tripartite men, are one with the Triune God. In John 17 the Lord prayed, “That they may be one, even as We are one” (v. 22b). The
Lord’s desire is to make us all one like the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are one. The church’s oneness is a part of the divine oneness of the Divine Trinity. Eventually, the church and the Divine Trinity are one in fellowship.

    Because there is an obstacle within you toward another brother, your fellowship with him is not that thorough. We may avoid contact with certain saints because of the obstacles within us to the divine fellowship. Our fellowship is not thorough and obstacles remain within us because we do not have the cross in our experience.

    The cross brings Christ to us. I have been crucified with Christ,and I no longer live but Christ lives in me. This is the cross. Christ lives in me as patience. He lives in me as all the human virtues, which
are considered by others as ethics. We need Christ, but without the experience of the cross, we cannot experience Christ. Hymns, #631 says, “If no death, no life.” This means, “If no cross, no Christ.” Furthermore, “If no Christ, no Spirit, and if no Spirit, no fellowship.” This is why the cross is needed....[In Matthew 16:24] the Lord used the words his cross. There is a particular portion of the cross for each one of us to cross each one of us out.

    The cross is mainly for dealing with ourselves. The Lord said that if we desire to follow Him, we must deny ourselves and take up our cross. Actually, to bear the cross is to deny the self, to put the self to death, to apply the cross of Christ to the self all the time. If we have a strong self and are offended by
everything and by everyone, we cannot have real fellowship. In order for us to have the horizontal fellowship, we need to deny ourselves. To deny ourselves means to be senseless about ourselves. Then we can never be offended. We need the experience of the cross to deepen our experience of the divine
fellowship. (The Triune God to Be Life to the Tripartite Man, pp. 159-161, 163)
