晨興餧養

提後二2『你在許多見證人面前從我所聽見的，要託付那忠信、能教導別人的人。』

       15『你當竭力將自己呈獻神前，得蒙稱許，作無愧的工人，正直的分解真理的話。』

我們出外接觸人，應當帶着對真理完全的認識而去。（提前二4。）要被聖經中神聖的真理浸透，我們需要讀職事書刊，將這些書刊放在我們家中每個地方—在臥室裏、客廳裏、餐桌上、並廚房裏。我們該勤讀職事書籍，使我們被真理構成。（參徒二42。）我們若被真理充滿，那麼每當我們開口，這些寶貴的真理自然而然會從我們湧流出來。（提後二2，15。）我們出外不該帶着膚淺的福音，乃該帶着高品的福音，以應付人的需要，就是需要三一神。…今天許多人有學問又有思想，並且一直花時間思考他們人生的意義。專講得救是從地獄上天堂這種膚淺的福音，不會吸引他們，因爲這種福音他們耳熟能詳。聖徒們發現『人生的奧祕』小册子在傳福音上很有效。因爲這本小册子的主題，應付了今天許多有思想之人的需要。（李常受文集一九八七年第一册，九頁。）

信息選讀

有思想的人，包括青少年，會思考他們人生的意義，想要找出答案。事業有成的人渴望知道人生的意義和目標。我們若帶着高品福音去接觸這樣的人，他們當中許多人會有興趣。雖然今天人們也許熟悉宗教、倫理或哲學，但他們多半從未聽過聖經中更深的真理。我們需要向人陳明更深的真理，就如關於生命、三一神、享受基督、稱義、聖別、和神的分賜這種真理。譬如，我們可以告訴人，他們是受造的器皿，爲要接受神作他們的內容，使神可以活在他們裏面。（創一26，羅九21，23，林後四7，弗三17。）我們許多人能見證，我們向人陳明的高品真理，使他們當中許多人驚奇並被抓住。我們若使用聖經恢復本的註解，向人述說更深的真理，就能吸引他們。（李常受文集一九八七年第一册，九至一○頁。）

我們應當操練一個一個的接觸人，而不該想要向一羣人傳講。我們可能在一個時候對五十人傳講，但最終我們可能在這五十人中一個也得不着。最有效的路乃是一個一個的接觸人。

我們必須傳高品的福音。我們不該受老觀念的影響，以爲如果我們所講的較深或較高，人就不會明白。有思想的人都願意聽關於人生真正意義的較深真理。

我們可以從聖經的任何一部分，向人講說高品的福音。我們甚至可以從馬太一章的開頭向人傳福音。一節說，『耶穌基督，大衞的子孫，亞伯拉罕子孫的家譜。』從這裏我們可以說一點關於基督的事。接着我們可以告訴他們，有關大衞和亞伯拉罕的故事。最後我們可以來到主耶穌是救贖主和救主的這一點上。

我們都需要研讀職事文字中神聖的真理，使我們得裝備以傳講高品的福音。（李常受文集一九九一至一九九二年第一册，三九○至三九二頁。）

WEEK 3 — DAY 6

Morning Nourishment

2 Tim. 2:2 And the things which you have heard from me through many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who will be competent to teach others also.

           15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman, cutting straight the word of the truth.

When we go out to contact people, we should go with the full knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:4). In order to be saturated with the divine truths in the Bible, we need to read the ministry publications, placing these publications everywhere in our home—in the bedrooms, in the living room, on the dining table, and in the kitchen. We should diligently read the ministry books so that we may be constituted with the truth (cf. Acts 2:42). If we are filled with the truth, then whenever we open our mouth, these precious truths will spontaneously flow out of us (2 Tim. 2:2, 15). We should go out not with a superficial gospel but with a high gospel in order to meet people’s need, which is the Triune God...A good number of people today are knowledgeable and thoughtful and have spent some time considering the meaning of their human life. A superficial gospel that focuses on salvation from hell and into heaven will not attract them, because they have already heard such a gospel. The saints have found the booklet The Mystery of Human Life to be effective in preaching the gospel. This is because the subject of this booklet addresses the need of many thoughtful people today. (CWWL, 1987, vol. 1, pp. 7-8)

Today’s Reading

Thoughtful people, including teenagers, consider and want to discover the significance of their human life. Those who have had a successful career desire to know the meaning and goal of their human life. If we go to such ones with the high gospel, a good number among them will be interested. Although people today may be familiar with religion, ethics, or philosophy, most of them have never heard the deeper truths in the Bible. We need to present the deeper truths to others, such as the truth concerning life, the Triune God, the enjoyment of Christ, justification, sanctification, and the dispensing of God. For instance, we may tell people that they were created as vessels in order to receive God as their content so that He may live in them (Gen. 1:26; Rom. 9:21, 23; 2 Cor. 4:7; Eph. 3:17). Many of us can testify that the high truths we presented to others astonished and captured a good number among them. If we speak the deeper truths to people, using the footnotes of the Recovery Version, we will be able to attract them. (CWWL, 1987, vol. 1, p. 8)

We should always practice to contact people one by one. We should not try to preach to a group. We may speak to fifty persons at one time, but eventually we may gain none of these fifty. The most effective way is to contact people one by one.

We need to preach the high gospel. We should not be influenced by the old concept that people will not understand us if we share things that are deep and high. The thoughtful people want to hear the deeper truths concerning the real meaning of human life.

We can speak the high gospel to people from any part of the Bible. It is even possible to preach the gospel from the beginning of Matthew 1. Verse 1 says, “The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.” From this point we can say something about Christ. Then we can proceed by telling the stories about David and Abraham. We can eventually arrive at the point of the Lord Jesus being the Redeemer and the Savior.

All of us need to study the divine truths in the printed ministry to equip us for the preaching of the high gospel. (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 1, “The World Situation and the Direction of the Lord’s Move,” pp. 307-308)
