晨興餧養 約二一15~16 他們喫完了早飯，耶穌對西門彼得說，約翰的兒子西門，你愛我比這些更深麼？彼得對祂說，主阿，是的，你知道我愛你。耶穌對他說，你餧養我的小羊。耶穌第二次又對他說，約翰的兒子西門，你愛我麼？彼得對祂說，主啊，是的，你知道我愛你。耶穌對他說，你牧養我的羊。 沒有父神愛和赦免的心，沒有救主牧養和尋找的靈，乃是我們不結果子的原因。我知道你們都勞苦作工，但幾乎沒有果子。主說，『樹總是憑果子認出來的』（太十二33），但我們卻是不結果子的樹。…因着我們缺少父那愛和赦免的心，以及子那牧養和尋找的靈，我們就沒有果子。我們定罪人、規範人，卻不牧養人、尋找人。我們缺少愛和牧養；…我們必須重新省察自己的行為，如哈該所言（該一5）。我們的行為是不正確的；有些地方出了問題（李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五冊，四四至四五頁）。 信息選讀 傳福音是對罪人最高的牧養。…基督這頭一位傳福音者，乃是藉着牧養盡祂的職事。祂到耶利哥只是為着要探訪一個人，就是稅吏長（路十九1~10）。…祂的目的是要去傳福音得一個人，而祂的傳揚乃是一種牧養。 約翰四章說，當主在去加利利的路上，祂『必須經過撒瑪利亞』（4）。祂不走主要的道路，反而繞道至敘加，到雅各井旁，為要接觸一個犯罪的撒瑪利亞婦人，她先前有過五個丈夫。主豫先知道她會來到雅各井。雅各井乃是豫表基督，祂是泉源，直湧入永遠的生命（14下）。我們必須學習主的榜樣，特意繞道至敘加，以得着一個人。 我們在一個人身上花三年的工夫來得着他，這是值得的。你如果連續探訪一個人三年，你就能得着他。這樣過了十二年，你就有四個新人隨着你參加召會的聚會。 基督這位大祭司在祂的神性裏以祂神聖的愛（由祂胸間的金帶所表徵），照顧作為燈檯的眾召會，以餧養眾召會（啟一13下）。…啟示錄二至三章啟示基督對燈檯的照顧。一面，祂修剪召會的燈芯，剪掉寫給七個召會的七封書信中所提的一切錯誤、短處、失敗和缺點。基督在人性裏作了最好的修剪工作，來顧惜眾召會。…〔基督〕也是大祭司，以祂自己這包羅萬有的基督，在祂三個時期的豐滿職事中，帶着祂的神性作『力量帶子』來餧養我們。…祂在神性裏餧養眾召會，使眾召會能在祂神聖的生命中長大成熟，而在祂七倍的加強裏成為得勝者。 我們的基督今天是我們的大祭司。在祂的人性裏，祂很容易同情我們的輭弱。…祂乃是在人性裏顧惜我們。同時，祂也在神性裏，用…祂人位裏一切積極的方面，來餧養我們。祂在兩方面來照顧恢復中的眾召會。祂在人性裏顧惜我們，使我們正確合宜，好叫我們快樂、愉快、舒適。祂在神性裏餧養我們，使我們在神聖的生命中長大成熟，作祂的得勝者，以完成祂永遠的經綸（李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五冊，一五三、二一二、二一四至二一五頁）。 參讀：活力排，第五、七至十一篇；約翰福音結晶讀經，第十三篇。 WEEK 5 — DAY 5 Morning Nourishment John 21:15-16 Then when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My lambs. He said to him again a second time, Simon, son of John, do you love Me? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Shepherd My sheep. Not having the Father’s loving and forgiving heart and not having the Savior’s shepherding and seeking spirit is the reason for our barrenness. I realize that you all work hard, but there is almost no fruit. The Lord said, “By the fruit the tree is known” (Matt. 12:33), but we are a tree without any fruit… We do not have fruit because we are lacking in the Father’s loving and forgiving heart and the Son’s shepherding and seeking spirit. We condemn and regulate others rather than shepherding and seeking them. We are short of love and shepherding… We have to consider our ways, as Haggai said (Hag. 1:5). Our way is not right; something is wrong. (CWWL, 1994- 1997, vol. 5, “A Word of Love to the Co-workers, Elders, Lovers, and Seekers of the Lord,” p. 31) Today’s Reading The preaching of the gospel is the top shepherding of sinners… The first gospel preacher, Christ, carried out His ministry by shepherding. He went to Jericho just to visit one person, a chief tax collector (Luke 19:1-10)… His desire was to preach the gospel to gain one person, and His preaching was a shepherding. John 4 says that while the Lord was on His way to Galilee, “He had to pass through Samaria” (v. 4). He detoured from the main way to Sychar, near Jacob’s well, in order to contact a sinful Samaritan woman, who previously had five husbands. The Lord foreknew that she would come to the well of Jacob. The well of Jacob is a type of Christ, who is the fountain of water springing up into eternal life (v. 14b). We have to learn of the Lord’s pattern in purposely detouring to Sychar to gain only one person. To spend three years to gain one person is worthwhile. If you spend three years to visit one person continually, you will gain him. After twelve years you will have four new ones following you to the church meetings. Christ, as the High Priest, takes care of the churches as the lampstands in His divinity with His divine love, signified by the golden girdle on His breasts, to nourish the churches (Rev. 1:13b). Revelation 2 and 3 reveal Christ’s care for the lampstands. On the one hand, He trims the wicks of the church lamps, cutting away all the wrongdoings, shortages, failures, and defects mentioned in the seven epistles to the seven churches. Christ does the best trimming work in His humanity to cherish the churches. [Christ] is also the High Priest with His divinity as the “energy belt” to nourish us with Himself as the all-inclusive Christ in His full ministry of three stages. His nourishing the churches in His divinity is so that the churches may grow and mature in His divine life and become the overcomers in His sevenfold intensification. Our Christ today is our High Priest. In His humanity He is easily touched with the feeling of our weaknesses… He is cherishing us in His humanity. Meanwhile, He is nourishing us in His divinity with all the positive aspects of His person… He is taking care of the churches in the recovery in both ways. In His humanity He is cherishing us to make us proper so that we may be happy, pleasant, and comfortable. In His divinity He is nourishing us so that we may grow and mature in the divine life to be His overcomers to accomplish His eternal economy.
