| 活出公义和平并圣灵中的喜乐 罗 14章1节 | 14:1 | 1信心软弱的,你们要2接纳,但不是为判断3所争论的事。 | 14章1节 注 | 本章可视为召会生活之宪法的补充。本书著者在他所立定的每项条款中,心是包容的,态度是宽大的,看法是高明的。要实行他在十二章所立定的召会生活,就必须严格的遵守他这补充。许多爱主而追求过召会生活的圣徒,都在这点上疏忽或错误而失败了。 要实行十二章所启示的身体生活,我们需要学习接纳信徒的实际功课,如1~十五13所专特启示的,使召会生活成为包罗的,能容纳各种的真基督徒。这需要十二章所说的变化。我们若仍旧留在天然里,就无法接纳在道理或实行上,看法与我们不同的人。 即道理上的争论。除了拜偶像、(约壹五21,林前八4~7、)淫乱、勒索、辱骂等粗鄙的罪,(林前五9~11,六9~10,)以及分立(十六17,多三10)和否认基督成为肉体(约贰7~9)以外,我们必须学习不审断别人在道理上的看法。只要人是真基督徒,有新约基本的信仰,即使他在道理上的看法与我们不同,我们也该不见外,而在我们同一的主里接纳他。 | | 请我们先祷告 | 主,我们向你献上赞美,献上感谢和敬拜。我们的心喜乐,我们的灵跳跃,我们从深处宝爱你,愿意跟随你。我们一同聚集在你的名里,实在是欢喜快乐! | 今日经节及注解 罗十四1~23 | 重点经节: | 罗14:17 | 因为神的国不在于吃喝,乃在于公义、和平、并圣灵中的喜乐。 | 填空(请用鼠标左键选择空白处) | 神的国乃是神(掌权)的范围,使祂能彰显祂的荣耀,以完成祂的(定旨),所注重的不在于吃喝,乃在于公义、和平、并(圣灵)中的喜乐。我们如果对人、对事并对神,都是义的、对的、正的,我们和人并和神的关系,必定是(和平)的。如此,我们就能在圣灵里,特别是在神面前有(喜乐)。这样,我们也就被喜乐和圣灵所(充满),活出公义、和平、并圣灵中的喜乐,就是神国的(实际)。(参罗十四17注2) | Living out Righteousness and Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit | Let's Pray: | Lord, we offer to You our praise, our thanksgiving, and our worship. Our hearts rejoice and our spirits leap. We treasure You deep within, and we are willing to follow you, Amen. | Today's Verses and Footnotes: Rom 14:1-23 | Key Verse: | | For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. | Filling the Blanks (Please double-click the blanks) | The kingdom of God is the sphere in which God exercises His (authority) so that He may express His glory for the fulfillment of His (purpose). In such a kingdom, what matters is not eating and drinking but righteousness, peace, and joy in the (Holy Spirit). If we are righteous, right, and proper toward others, toward things, and toward (God), we will have a (peaceful) relationship with others and with God. Thus, we will have joy in the Holy Spirit and, in particular, before God. In this way we will be (filled) with joy and with the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:52) and will live out righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, which are the (reality) of the kingdom of God.
