925 “去”的關係

有人強逼你走一裡路,你就同他走二裡。(太五41

除非主在我們身上行超然的工作,否則他所要求的那種是不可能的。主耶穌要求門徒在遇到暴虐不平時,不可有絲毫的怨恨,即使藏在內心也不可。無論怎樣的熱誠,也受不住主耶穌加在工人身上的考驗。只有一件事可以,就是與他有密切的關係,經歷過他潔淨的磨坊,以致只有一個心志留存--“我在此任神差派往何方。”別的東西都可以消失,但與主的關係絕對不可。

登山寶訓不是一套理想。它說明了我內心要發生的事:就是當主改變我,把他自己的性情放在我裡面時所要成就的光景。只有耶穌基督才能達成登山寶訓。我們若要做主的門徒,就必須循超然的途徑;若死持作門徒的存心,就必不能作門徒。“我揀選了你們。”這是神恩典的開始。這個催迫是我們無法逃避的,我們可以不聽命,但我們斷不能產生這個催迫。神超然的恩典是圖畫的主筆,我們無法追溯他工作的起源。他塑造門徒的工作是超然的,並不建基於天然的力量。神不會叫我們做人力容易達成的事,他只叫我們做那些憑恩典才能應付裕如的事,而十字架往往就循這個途徑而來。

祈禱◆噢,主啊,為著那環繞我、使我猶如在天堂的聖徒祈禱,我讚美你。為著那透過你的救贖而臨到我的無言恩典,我稱頌你。


September 25 The “Go” Of Relationship

And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.” Matthew 5:41

The summing up of Our Lord's teaching is that the relationship which He demands is an impossible one unless He has done a supernatural work in us. Jesus Christ demands that there be not the slightest trace of resentment even suppressed in the heart of a disciple when he meets with tyranny and injustice. No enthusiasm will ever stand the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His worker, only one thing will, and that is a personal relationship to Himself which has gone through the mill of His spring-cleaning until there is only one purpose left – I am here for God to send me where He will. Every other thing may get fogged, but this relationship to Jesus Christ must never be.

The Sermon on the Mount is not an ideal, it is a statement of what will happen in me when Jesus Christ has altered my disposition and put in a disposition like His own. Jesus Christ is the only One Who can fulfil the Sermon on the Mount.

If we are to be disciples of Jesus, we must be made disciples supernaturally; as long as we have the dead set purpose of being disciples we may be sure we are not. “I have chosen you.” That is the way the grace of God begins. It is a constraint we cannot get away from; we can disobey it, but we cannot generate it. The drawing is done by the supernatural grace of God, and we never can trace where His work begins. Our Lord's making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are easy to us naturally; He only asks us to do the things we are perfectly fitted to do by His grace, and the cross will come along that line always.
