【读圣经学英语】永远生命的话

约翰福音-John 6 章 68~71节

6:68 西门彼得回答祂说,主啊,你有永远生命的话,我们还归从谁?
Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life,
6:69 我们已经信了,又知道你是神的圣者。
And we have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God.
6:70 耶稣回答说,我不是拣选了你们十二个么?但你们中间有一个是魔鬼。
Jesus answered them, Was it not I who chose you, the twelve? Yet one of you is a devil.
6:71 耶稣是指着加略人西门的儿子犹大说的;他本是十二门徒中的一个,后来要出卖耶稣的。
Now He spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, would betray Him.

亮光

 

主是灵和话。复活的基督乃是那灵,那灵就是话;话是灵,灵又是给我们享受的复活之主。现在我们知道祂的所是与所在。因此,当我们在灵中接触话,实际上就是接触主自己这活粮。当我们在灵中接受这话,我们就是接受基督自己作丰盛生命的供应。如今一天过一天,我们有分于这奇妙复活的基督作我们的食物、生命、并生命的供应。祂乃是赐人生命的灵,祂也是生命的话。

在六十八节西门彼得说了非常有趣的话:『主阿,你有永远生命的话,我们还归从谁?』这一章结束于生命的话,这话是接受主惟一的路。今天问题归结于话。你若接受话,你里面就要得着灵;你若在里面得着灵,你就有基督作里面生命的供应。

我们已经看见,基督为着使祂自己便于给我们接受,经过了六个步骤-成为肉体、钉十字架、复活、升天、成为赐生命的灵、并具体化于生命的话。主已经成为肉体、钉十字架、复活、升天、从肉体变化形像成为那灵、并且具体化于话。话乃是主的灵的具体化身。你不能说你不知道如何接触主,因为主已经具体化于话。祂是灵,也是话。你若接受话,就有那灵作你对基督的享受。

 

Enlightenment:

The Lord is the Spirit and the Word. The resurrected Christ is the Spirit, the Spirit is the Word, the Word is the Spirit, and the Spirit is the resurrected Lord for us to enjoy. Now we know what He is and where He is. Hence, when we contact the Word in spirit, we are actually contacting the Lord Himself as the living bread. When we receive the Word in spirit, we are receiving Christ Himself as the abundant supply of life. Now, day by day, we are participating in this wonderful, resurrected Christ as our food, life, and life-supply. He is the Spirit that gives life and He is the Word of life.

In verse 68 Simon Peter said something very interesting. “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” This chapter closes with the Word of life, which is the only way to receive the Lord. The problem today boils down to the Word. If you receive the Word, you will have the Spirit within; if you have the Spirit within, then you have Christ as the inner supply of life.

We have seen six steps whereby Christ has made Himself available for us to receive—incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, becoming the life-giving Spirit, and being embodied in the Word of life. The Lord has been incarnated, crucified, resurrected, ascended, has been transfigured from the flesh into the Spirit, and has been embodied in the Word. The Word is the embodiment of the Spirit of the Lord. You cannot say that you do not know how to contact the Lord, for the Lord has been embodied in the Word. He is the Spirit and the Word. If you receive the Word, you will have the Spirit as your enjoyment of Christ.
