《基督是我们生命的诀要》第七日 基督與聖靈

  

    「信我的人，從他腹中要流出活水的江河來，耶穌說這話是指著信祂之人要受聖靈說的。」（約七：38，39）

     三而一的神，每一位格都相互榮耀，聖父盡力榮耀子，聖子榮耀聖靈，同時聖靈也榮耀子。在今天所讀的經文中，我們聽到基督召喚我們相信祂，我們深信聖靈能以大能大力，根據我們對基督相信的程度在我們心中咝小Ｖ饔终f道：「聖靈不是憑自己說的，乃是把祂所聽見的都說出來，祂要榮耀我，因祂要將受於我的告訴你們。」（約十六：13，14）

     我們要學習一個重要的功課，就是我們千萬不要期望我們能夠憑着感覺察鑒出聖靈的同在，祂總要儘量適合我們對基督的態度，最可靠的方法就是用對基督的信心讓聖靈支配我們的全心，我們要信靠聖靈能幫助我們如此去做。

     每天早晨，讓我們來朝見三一的神，把自己交托給基督，讓祂在你心中完成祂的工作。感謝父神，因祂賜下聖靈，使我們因此能常在主耶穌的愛和順服裏。堅信三而一的神在你心中运行正如在天上一样只要我们献上全心給基督，祂必會在你心裏做啟示的工作。「因著基督我們有到父神藉聖靈的通路。」

     讓我們來學習這一個重要的功課，增強你對基督的信心，讓聖靈更自由從你裏面流露出來，更相信聖靈永遠的同在，你就會明白基督的內住和在你心內工作。

　

“He that believeth on Me, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. This spake He of the Spirit, which they that believed on Him were to receive.” –JOHN vii. 38, 39.

 Each Person of the blessed Trinity gives honour to the Other. The Father seeks the honour of the Son and the Son seeks the honour of the Spirit, and the Spirit honours the Son. So in our text to-day we hear Christ calling us to believe in Him, confident that the Holy Spirit will work powerfully in us according to the measure of our faith in Christ. On the other hand Christ says, “The Spirit shall not speak from Himself; but what things soever He shall hear, these shall He speak. He shall glorify Me: for He shall take of Mine, and shall declare it unto you” (John xvi. I3, I4).

   Here we learn the important lesson that we must not expect the Holy Spirit always to give us tokens of His presence. He will ever seek to fix our attention upon Christ. The surest way to be filled with the Spirit is whole-heartedly to occupy ourselves by faith with Christ. We may rely upon the Holy Spirit to enable us to do this.

   Begin every morning in God’s Presence, and there commit yourself to Christ to accomplish His work in you. Thank the Father for the gift of the Holy Spirit, who enables you to abide in the love and the obedience of the Lord Jesus. Believe firmly that the Triune God works in your heart and has His hidden Heaven there, which will be revealed to you as your heart is wholly given to His Son and Spirit. “Through Christ we have access to the Father through the Spirit.”

   Learn this important lesson. The stronger your faith in Christ the more freely will the Spirit flow from you. The more you believe in the ever-abiding Spirit the more surely you will know that Christ dwells and works within.
