【读圣经学英语】不可按外貌判断
人从外面看耶稣,只见祂是个拿撒勒人。祂无佳形美容,也无美貌使人羡慕。但在祂里面,祂就是神。有时我对主说,『主阿,为什么在美国,你带到教会的人很少是体面的,甚至有些人还衣冠不整的来聚会?』但我终于看出那些瓦器里有宝贝。

正当热心宗教的人期望一位伟大的首领时,施浸者约翰介绍耶稣是神的小羔羊。耶稣来并不是作一个宗教运动的伟大首领;祂来是作神的小羔羊,除去世人的罪。这并不是一个运动;这是救赎,解决人类罪的问题。我们的罪要除去,我们不需要一位神学博士或宗教首领-我们需要一只小羔羊。

我们都必须按着内在的实际,不按着外貌认基督。主在地上的时候,没有吸引人的外表。今天,在教会生活也是这样,没有什么吸引人的外表。然而,你若进入教会生活里面,就会在那里看见基督的美丽。祂不是那拿撒勒人,祂乃是大卫的后裔。这就是基督!阿利路亚!
没有人能借律法有分于神,恩典却叫人享受神,实际叫人实化神。至终,恩典是神给人享受,实际是神给人实化。既然恩典和实际都是同着耶稣而来,当耶稣与我们同在时,我们就有恩典和实际。虽然我们缺少合式的言语来描述这事,但我们至少从经历里能有某种程度的认识。我们多次享受神在基督里作我们的恩典,并且我们多次认识神在基督里真是生命、亮光、安慰、安息、忍耐、谦卑、以及许多别的事物。这乃是神的实化。
if you obey the living Word and say, “Amen, Lord Jesus,” you immediately have the sensation that something has fallen off your eyes and you have light. Your old humanity has fallen away and you can see into the heavens. This is the way to receive light.
There are three steps which we must follow in order to receive sight for our eyes.
我们成为神的儿女时,我们不是从我们肉身的生命、堕落的生命、或受造的生命生的;我们是从神生的,就是从非受造的生命生的。人成为神的儿女,就是有了神的生命和神的性情。
这些经文所描述的生,不是我们借父母而有天然的出生,而是我们信入主耶稣之名以后所发生的第二次出生。
在祂能成为我们的食物之前,祂必须先成为微小的。所以二个小孩带来的五个小的大麦饼和两条小鱼就象征了祂。我们需要对主的伟大和祂的微小,同样有深刻印象。祂甚至生在小马槽里,长在小城中,并且在卑微的家庭中被抚育。祂不是来作宗教伟人。祂是小小的拿撒勒人,毫无伟大之处。哦,祂是何等微小!

Lord never comes to improve you or to regulate your behavior. He always comes to enliven you. The Lord’s only intention is to impart Himself to you as the enlivening life.
If God was going to solve all the basic problems of man, He had to become a man Himself. Satan knows the importance of this. Satan was not afraid of the Lord Jesus being the Son of God. He was afraid of the Lord Jesus being a man. Therefore, Jehovah God became a man.

这里的『水』象征物质享受和属世娱乐的消遣。这些都不能解除人深处的干渴,人无论喝了多少物质和属世的『水,』还会再渴。这些『水』喝得越多,干渴越加增。比方说,在受教育的事上,人喜欢得更高的学位。在拿到学士学位之后,就想要硕士;拿到了硕士,又想要博士。

If people will receive this light, they will have God. He is the manifestation of God as light, and if you receive Him as light, you will have God. If a man believes in Him, he will not remain in darkness.

For us to maintain pleasant fellowship with the Lord and with one another we need spiritual foot-washing.

Satan, the enemy of God, has organized a system known as the cosmos.
He did not groan over the death of Lazarus, but over the fact that not one of the sorrowful ones knew that He was the present resurrection, and He was troubled by this. At this juncture, the Lord wept in sympathy with their sorrow over Lazarus’s death.

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。
