晨興餧養

徒二42    他們都堅定持續在使徒的教訓和交通裏,持續擘餅和禱告。

約壹一4~5 我們寫這些事,是要叫我們的喜樂得以滿足。神就是光,在祂裏面毫無黑暗;這是我們從祂所聽見,現在又報給你們的信息。

交通在〔約壹一章三節〕指明為着某一共同的目的,把個人的利益放在一邊,並聯於別人。因此,與使徒有交通,在使徒的交通裏,並在使徒的交通裏與三一神有交通,乃是放下我們個人的利益,聯於使徒和三一神,為着完成神的定旨。…我們有分於使徒對三一神的享受,就是聯於使徒和三一神,以完成神、使徒和所有信徒所共有三一神的神聖定旨(聖經恢復本,約壹一33)。

信息選讀

神聖的交通乃是在基督身體裏生活的實際。歷世紀以來,主一直受阻撓,就是因着缺少交通。在啟示錄二十二章二十節,主耶穌說,我必快來!但將近二千年過去,主仍沒有回來。原因乃是信徒持個人主義,都是單獨、有意見並且製造分裂的。

有一件事能管制我們,那就是神聖的交通。我們在這交通裏受限制。藉着在這交通裏受限制,基督的身體就蒙保守在一裏,職事的工作就繼續往前。我們若離開交通,一切就都完了。那使一切活着的乃是交通。我們若學習交通,就會得着許多益處,特別在主的工作上,更是如此(三一神作三部分人的生命,一七二至一七三頁)。

  生命的交通就是神聖生命的湧流。…經歷基督作生命正確的路,乃是在我們裏面得着這流。…我們要知道自己是否在交通中、憑基督而活,並經歷基督的路,乃是核對裏面是否有一道流。…我們若沒有這流,或者這流衰退了,我們就必須向主呼喊,並向祂敞開。

你有生命的流,就有喜樂。…按理說,基督徒必須是喜樂的人;他們必須是每時每刻滿了喜樂的人。有時我們真是如此滿了喜樂,以致我們覺得若不呼喊阿利路亞讚美主阿們,我們就要炸開了。…因為我們裏面真是滿了神聖生命的流、湧流和滿溢,我們無法靜默,而必須呼喊並說話。你會發覺,你越發表你裏面的湧流,生命的交通就越要在你裏面湧流。

我們若顧到我們裏面生命的湧流和照耀,我們就別無所需。當然,我們仍然需要禱告、讀經、參加聚會,並與聖徒交通。但我們必須看見,這些正當的基督徒活動,實際上乃是湧流和照耀的結果。同時,這一切實行乃是我們憑以經歷更多湧流和照耀的工具、憑藉。我們所必須認識的基本的事,乃是憑基督而活、活在基督裏,並以基督為我們的生命,其秘訣是一直顧到內裏的湧流和內裏的照耀。你若沒有內裏的湧流和照耀,就必須到主那裏與祂辦交涉,受祂對付,因為那是很強的指標,指明你裏面有甚麼錯了。倘若我們中間所有的聖徒都天天顧到這事,我們將成為何等活潑、照耀並湧流的基督徒!這樣,每當我們來聚會,每個人都會帶來他們裏面湧流並照耀的一些東西。享受生命的交通和生命的光,必須是我們每日每時的經歷(經歷基督作內裏的生命,一四至一六、一九至二○頁)。

WEEK 1 — DAY 3

Morning Nourishment

Acts 2:42 "And they continued steadfastly in the teaching and the fellowship of the apostles, in the   breaking of bread and the prayers."

1 John 1:4-5 And these things we write that our joy may be made full. And this is the message which we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all."

    Fellowship [in 1 John 1:3] indicates a putting away of private interests and a joining with others for a certain common purpose. Hence, to have fellowship with the apostles, to be in the fellowship of the apostles, and to have fellowship with the Triune God in the apostles’ fellowship is to put aside our private
interests and join with the apostles and the Triune God for the carrying out of God’s purpose....Our participation in the apostles’ enjoyment of the Triune God is our joining with them and with the Triune God for His divine purpose, which is common to God, the apostles, and all the believers. (1 John 1:3, footnote 3)

Today's Reading

    The divine fellowship is the reality of living in the Body of Christ. The Lord has been frustrated throughout the centuries because of the lack of fellowship. In Revelation 22:20 the Lord Jesus said, “I come quickly,” but it has been nearly two thousand years, and the Lord is still not back. The
reason is that the believers are individualistic, independent, opinionated, and divisive.

    The one thing which should rule us is the The one thing which should rule us is the divine fellowship. We are restricted in this fellowship. By being restricted in this fellowship, the Body of Christ is kept in oneness, and the work of the ministry continues to go on. When we are out of fellowship, everything is finished. The thing which makes everything alive is fellowship. If we learn to fellowship, we will receive many benefits, especially in the Lord’s work. (The Triune God to Be Life to the Tripartite Man, pp. 147-148)

    The fellowship of life is simply the flow of the divine life....The proper way to experience Christ as life is to have this flow within us....The way to know whether we are in the fellowship, living by Christ, and experiencing Christ is simply to check whether there is a flow within....If we do not have the flow or
if the flow is ebbing, we must cry out to the Lord and open to Him.

    When you have the flow of life, you will have joy....Christians, as a rule,must be joyful persons; they must be persons who are full of joy at all times. Sometimes we are so full of joy that we feel we will burst unless we shout “Hallelujah!” “Praise the Lord!” or “Amen!”...Because we are so full of the current, flowing, and bubbling of the divine life within us, instead of being quiet, we must shout and speak. You will find that the more you express what is flowing within, the more the fellowship of life will flow
within you.

    If we take care of the flowing and shining of life within us, we will have need of nothing else. Of course, we will still need to pray, read the Scriptures,attend the meetings, and fellowship with the saints. But we have to realize that all these proper Christian activities are actually the result of the flowing and the shining. At the same time, all these practices are the instruments,the means, by which we experience more flowing and shining. The basic thing we must realize is that the secret of living by Christ, living in Christ,and taking Christ as our life is to always take care of the inward flowing and the inward shining. If you do not have the inward flowing and shining, you must go to the Lord to deal with Him and be dealt with by Him, for that is a strong indication that something is wrong within. If all the saints among us
would take care of this matter day by day, what living, shining, and flowing Christians we would be! Then whenever we come to the meetings, everyone would come with something flowing and shining within their being. The enjoyment of the fellowship of life and the light of life must be our day-byday and moment-by-moment experience. (Experiencing Christ as the Inner Life, pp. 18-19, 22-23)
