1128 絕處逢生

如今卻蒙神的恩典……就白白地稱義。(羅三24

神恩惠的福音挑起人心靈強烈的強求,但同時又叫人產生同樣強烈的反抗,因為福音帶來的啟示,是難以下嚥的。人有一種自傲,就是寧可一味施予,但要近前來接受不太願意。我可以殉道舍生,可以獻上自己,可以做任何事,但不要把我貶卑至只配下地獄的罪人,告訴我除了接受耶穌基督的救恩外,別無他法。

我們必須認識,人無法從神賺取或贏得什麼;我們若不肯接受神的禮物,就不要指望得著什麼。屬靈最大的福氣,就是認識自己絕望;若未認識這一點,主就無能為力。我們若仍以為自己有所作為,他就無法為我們做什麼。我們一日自恃、獨立、自以為富足,神就一日無法有所作為。只有在我們感到屬靈的饑餓時,才能接受聖靈。神藉聖靈把他的本性賜給我們,把耶穌活潑的生命賜給我們,把那“超然的”放在我們裡面。那“超然的”一旦進入,就把我們提升至“天上”,我們就被高舉在主耶穌所活的國度裡了。(約三5

祈禱◆噢,主啊,願你使我重新獲得敏銳的屬靈洞察力;願你藉著主耶穌基督豐富的恩典將我舉起,進入你的光明中。在更多認識你和你的道路上,我是何等緩慢!


November 28 The Bounty Of The Destitute

Being justified freely by His grace. . .” Romans 3:24

The Gospel of the grace of God awakens an intense longing in human souls and an equally intense resentment, because the revelation which it brings is not palatable. There is a certain pride in man that will give and give, but to come and accept is another thing. I will give my life to martyrdom, I will give myself in consecration, I will do anything, but do not humiliate me to the level of the most hell-deserving sinner and tell me that all I have to do is to accept the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.

We have to realize that we cannot earn or win anything from God; we must either receive it as a gift or do without it. The greatest blessing spiritually is the knowledge that we are destitute; until we get there Our Lord is powerless. He can do nothing for us if we think we are sufficient of ourselves, we have to enter into His Kingdom through the door of destitution. As long as we are rich, possessed of anything in the way of pride or independence, God cannot do anything for us. It is only when we get hungry spiritually that we receive the Holy Spirit. The gift of the essential nature of God is made effectual in us by the Holy Spirit, He imparts to us the quickening life of Jesus, which puts “the beyond” within, and immediately “the beyond” has come within, it rises up to “the above,” and we are lifted into the domain where Jesus lives. (John 3:5)
