| 上帝與羔羊的寶座 | |
| 經文: 「天使又指示我在城內街道當中一道生命水的河，明亮如水晶，從上帝和羔羊的寶座流出來。」（啟示錄廿二：1） | |
| 這道生命河水是指什麼？當然意謂著聖靈，而這聖靈要在羔羊坐寶座後才出現。這河要往那裏流？它要流向全地，就如同經上所應許的，上帝要按信徒信心的大小、渴慕的程度，讓這活水的泉源，在信徒腹中湧出，且要湧到永生。這生命活泉是環繞著我們，但常因我們的遲鈍，以及俗事的干擾，使得我們沒有察覺到它的存在，來享用它的甘甜美好。 或許我們可用一個實例，將這真理闡釋得更明白。當馬可尼議員發現了無線電報，他發現這電訊可以傳到世界各個角落，無遠弗屆。他第一次使用電報，從英國打到義大利，這電訊橫越整個法國版圖，但那兒上百萬的百姓完全不知曉，惟有義大利的接收站才接獲這電訊。 同理，生命活泉環繞著我們，我們卻完全不知情；屬天的恩典與能力也籠罩著我們，我們也一無所知。馬可尼花了好幾年的時間瞭解無線電報的祕密，我們也只有在專心一致尋求耶穌時，我們心眼才得以打開，感受到生命活泉正從寶座羔羊處源源不絕地流出，環繞著我們，供應我們每日所需。 喔！親愛的弟兄姐妹們，「花時間」在寶座前敬拜這位羔羊，你心中將充滿榮光，也會感受到聖靈像生命活泉一樣，從你寧靜飽滿的心中湧出，不但供應你個人的需要，也賜下能力，在你助人時，不虞匱乏。這是多麼美好奇妙的生活，羔羊寶座要不斷流洩出生命活泉，滋潤我們的心靈，供應我們需要，直到永生。 | |

| THE THRONE OF GOD AND OF THE LAMB | |
| Scripture: "He showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the Throne of God and of the Lamb."—REV. xxii. 1. | |
| What does the river of water of life signify? Nothing less than the Holy Spirit, which was not given until the Lamb was in the midst of the Throne. Where does the river of the water of life flow? Through the whole earth. It gives us according to our faith and desire that which Christ has promised, a fountain springing up to eternal life. It gives streams of living water to each one who believes in Him fully. It surrounds us all, but through slowness and worldliness we are unable to grasp it and enjoy it. This may be made clear to us by means of a parable. When Senator Marconi discovered the means for wireless telegraphy, he found that waves of ether were streaming through the whole world. He discovered that he could entrust a message to these waves, and it would be conveyed to distant places. When he sent his first message from England to Italy, it passed through France, where there were millions of people who had no idea that any such message was passing. The message was heard and understood only when it reached the reception station which had been prepared for it in Italy. Just so are we surrounded by the waves of the river of the water of eternal life without being aware of it. Yes, the waves of heavenly grace, of life and power, of love and joy, surround us, and we know it not. Marconi spent years in trying to learn the secret of wireless telegraphy. It is only as we seek with an undivided heart that our eyes will be opened, to see that the waves of the life-stream flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb really do surround us, and are for our daily use. O Christian, take time to worship God and the Lamb in the midst of the Throne, and to be filled with their glory, and you will realize that the Holy Spirit as a stream of living water sur¬rounds you each day, and will be in you a fountain springing up to eternal life, and as a stream flowing from you in blessing to others. How wonderful it will be to see the Lamb in the midst of the Throne of God, and the water of life, that flows from beneath the Throne. | |
