39 靈性的倒退

你們也要去嗎?(約六67

多刺透人心的問題。主最深入人心的話,往往是最簡單的話。我們雖然知道耶穌是誰,但他仍然要問:你們也要去嗎?對主我們必須時刻持著敢作敢為的態度。從此他門徒中多有退去的,不再和他同行。他們轉身不與耶穌同行,並不回去犯罪,只是回復原形,依然故我。今日不少人為主作工竭盡心力,可是並沒有他同行。神要我們持守的,是要我們與耶穌基督合一。成聖之後,屬靈生命的操練是循這方向走。神若在你心中清楚地啟示他的心意,你不要用什麼特別的方法去保持與神的關係,只要順其自然地、完全靠賴耶穌基督而生活。與神同行的生活除了依循神的路徑之外,萬不能別開蹊徑。這條路就是要絕對忠心愛他。我真知道自己無知——這就是與主同行的秘訣了。

彼得只看見耶穌是他的救主,是世人的救主。但主卻要我們與他同負一軛。在第70節耶穌答覆了彼得的問話,填補他想法上的漏洞。我們不可以代人作答。

祈禱主啊,對於住在我裡面的基督,我所給予的滋養是何其短缺;噢,主啊,赦免我。求你讓我深深地感受到你的寬恕,以致我不單為著你的救恩而喜樂,更讓你的靈充滿這裡的工作。


March 9 The Time Of Relapse

“Will ye also go away?” John 6:67

A penetrating question. Our Lord's words come home most when He talks in the most simple way. We know Who Jesus is, but in spite of that He says – “Will ye also go away?” We have to maintain a venturing attitude toward Him all the time.

“From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him.” They went back from walking with Jesus, not into sin, but they relapsed. Many to-day are spending and being spent in work for Jesus Christ, but they do not walk with Him. The one thing God keeps us to steadily is that we may be one with Jesus Christ. After sanctification the discipline of our spiritual life is along this line. If God gives a clear and emphatic realization to your soul of what He wants, do not try to keep yourself in that relationship by any particular method, but live a natural life of absolute dependence on Jesus Christ. Never try to live the life with God on any other line than God's line, and that line is absolute devotion to Him. The certainty that I do not know – that is the secret of going with Jesus.

Peter only saw in Jesus Someone to minister salvation to him and to the world. Our Lord wants us to be yoke-fellows with Him.

v. 70. Jesus answers the great lack in Peter. We cannot answer for others.
