马太福音-Matthew 10章40~42节

10:40 接待你们的,就是接待我;接待我的,就是接待那差遣我的。
  He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who has sent Me.
10:41 因申言者的名接待申言者的,必得申言者的赏赐;因义人的名接待义人的,必得义人的赏赐。
  He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward, and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
10:42 无论谁,因门徒的名,只把一杯凉水给这小子里的一个喝,我实在告诉你们,他绝不会失去他的赏赐。
  And whoever gives to one of these little ones only a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.

Enlightenment:

To participate in such an identification with the heavenly King requires us to love Him above all, at any cost, and to follow Him by taking the narrow way of the cross, as revealed in verses 37 through 39. Not only do the sent ones have the King’s authority and peace and the Spirit of the Father, but they are also one with the King and are identified with Him. To receive the King’s sent ones means to receive the King Himself, because the sent ones are identified with the King. This is an encouragement to those who are sent. In the Lord’s recovery we have the authority, the peace, the Spirit, and the identification with our King. We are one with Him. Whoever receives us receives the King, and whoever rejects us rejects the King. This is not an insignificant matter. It is very serious. We all need to have the assurance that we have the authority, the peace, the Spirit, and the identification.

亮光

我们要与属天的王有这样的联合,就需要不惜任何代价,爱祂胜过一切,并走十字架的窄路跟从祂,如三十七至三十九节所启示的。受差遣的人不仅有王的权柄、平安和父的灵,并且与王是一,与祂联合。接待王所差遣的人,意思就是接待王自己,因为受差遣的人与王联合。这对受差遣的人乃是鼓励。在主的恢复里,我们有权柄、平安、那灵,并且与我们的王联合。我们与祂是一。凡接待我们的,就是接待王;凡弃绝我们的,就是弃绝王。这不是微不足道的事,乃是非常严肃的。我们都需要确信,我们有权柄、平安、那灵,并且与王联合。
