| 屬天的生命 | |
| 經文: 「因為你們已經死了，你們的生命與基督一同藏在上帝裡面。基督是我們的生命。」（歌羅西書三：3、4） | |
| 對基督徒而言，明白他所接受的新生命，就是耶穌的生命，也是上帝的生命，這點很重要。我的生命與耶穌一起藏在上帝的生命裡，而且每天被更新調整，保守成為聖潔。 這是需要花時間，常常安靜思想、禱告，才能抓住這真理，明白耶穌住在天父裡的生命，和祂住在我們裡面的生命，是一模一樣的生命。經上說：「我活著，你們也要活著。」「到那一天，你們將會明白，我在天父裡面，你在我裡面，我也在你們裡面。」正如同耶穌在天父裡面，我們也在耶穌裡面，耶穌也在我裡面，這聖潔的生命在這三者中是互通的。 很少人領悟這真理，更少人費神去經歷這真理。追求認識這真理的路是窄的，需要花時間付代價，每天要安靜禱告，沈思默想，揣摩耶穌在我們裡面，我們又在耶穌裡面，究竟是什麼意思，慢慢你才會明白，原來我們的生命是與耶穌一起被藏在上帝的生命裡面，當你花時間去體會、領悟這真理，並將它深刻印在心版上，你才可被稱為天父的兒女。 惟有讓聖靈常將耶穌屬天的生命，活在我們心中，我們才會明白何謂「我與耶穌同死，每天我向罪、老我、世界死，好叫耶穌榮耀的屬天生命，能在我心中生長運行。」 如此，我們才能經驗何謂與耶穌「同行談天」，並且有勇氣相信耶穌是住在我裡面，祂且要掌管我的生活，在我心裡面做工，使我能做討天父上帝喜悅的事。藉著每天時時刻刻，謙卑地與耶穌同行，我們得以在上帝聖潔的生命上有分，且享受祂的大愛。 | |

| THE HEAVENLY LIFE | |
| Scripture: "Ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Christ is our life."—COL. in. 3, 4. | |
| It is of the utmost importance for a Christian to know that the new life which he receives actually is the life of Christ which He lives in the Father. Our life, my life, is hid with Christ in God, and must daily be received anew, and preserved as a holy of holies. It takes time, and quiet thought and prayer in any measure to grasp this great marvel, that the life Christ lives in the Father is the same life He lives in me. Christ does not live one life in the Father and another in me. His words are: "I live and ye shall live." "In that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you." As He is in the Father, so are we in Him, and He in us. One divine life in the Father and in Christ and in me. How little have we grasped this! How little trouble do we take to experience it. Here is the secret of the necessity of taking quiet time and prayerful meditation each day, to become deeply impressed with the truth that the Lord Jesus whose life is hid in God has also His life hid in me. It is only by taking time to realize that the glorious heavenly Christ lives in my heart that I shall truly live as a child of my Father in heaven. When we allow God's Holy Spirit daily to keep alive in us that heavenly life in Christ, we shall grasp what it means to say, "I died with Christ, and I die daily to sin and self and the world, in order to make room for that glorious heavenly life that Christ actually lives in me." Then we shall experience, "our conversation is in heaven." Thus shall I have courage to believe that Christ lives in me and reigns and works that which is well pleasing to His Father. Thus shall my life be a humble and constant walk with God, in the fellowship of His holiness and His love. | |
