 “感谢神,常率领我们在基督里夸胜。”(林后2:14)


神工人的观点绝不可以尽量接近最高点,而必须是最高点。

 

要努力持守神的观点,要每天持守,在每件小事上持守;不要着眼于有限的事上,没有外在任何的能力可以触及这个观点。

 

要持定的观点,就是我们存留在世只有一个目的——作基督得胜军队中的俘虏。我们不是在神的陈列室里,我们在世乃是要表现一件事——生命完全被基督俘掳。

 

其他的观点显得多么渺小——“我在此独自为耶稣争战”、“我要守住基督的阵线,防卫祂的堡垒”。

 

保罗说:“我是在胜利者的队伍里,所以不论遇何困难,我总被率领得胜。”这观念是否着实地在我们里面做工?

 

保罗喜乐的秘诀,就是在他敌挡基督的当儿,做了基督的俘虏,而他就一直是为此而生存。保罗的喜乐就是作主的俘虏,天地之间再无别的吸引。

 

信徒口头常谈争胜,实在可耻。那得胜的主早该完全得着我们,胜利永远是祂的,而靠着祂,我们就能得胜有余。

 

“我们在神面前……都有基督馨香之气。”我们带了基督的香气,不论在什么地方,都叫神舒畅。

祈祷


噢,主啊,祢是我的神,除了祢以外,我再不认识别神。我那种无用的感觉是那么强烈,以致我不想花时间将它告诉祢。我充满思念和渴望,完完全全地来到祢面前。


THE VIEWPOINT 


"Now thanks be to God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ." 2 Corinthians 2:14 


The viewpoint of a worker for God must not be as near the highest as he can get, it must be the highest. Be careful to maintain strenuously God's point of view, it has to be done every day, bit by bit; don't think on the finite. No outside power can touch the viewpoint. 


The viewpoint to maintain is that we are here for one purpose only, viz., to be captives in the train of Christ's triumphs. We are not in God's showroom, we are here to exhibit one thing - the absolute captivity of our lives to Jesus Christ. How small the other points of view are - I am standing alone battling for Jesus; I have to maintain the cause of Christ and hold this fort for Him. Paul says - I am in the train of a conqueror, and it does not matter what the difficulties are, I am always led in triumph. Is this idea being worked out practical y in us? Paul's secret joy was that God took him, a red-handed rebel against Jesus Christ, and made him a captive, and now that is all he is here for. Paul's joy was to be a captive of the Lord, he had no other interest in heaven or in earth. It is a shameful thing for a Christian to talk about getting the victory. The Victor ought to have got us so completely that it is His victory al the time, and we are more than conquerors through Him. "For we are unto God a sweet saviour of Christ." We are enwheeled with the odour of Jesus, and wherever we go we are a wonderful refreshment to God.
