慕安德烈每日靈修 God's Best Secrets by Andrew Murray

同在的聖靈

經文: 「父就另外賜給你們一位保惠師，叫祂永遠與你們同在……因祂常與你們同在，也要在你們裡面。」（約翰福音十四：16∼17）

如同聖經上所應許的：「凡住在我裡面的，我也要住在你們裡面。」「要常住在我的愛裡。」（約十五1~10）我們經常恩想主耶穌的「同在」，在這節經文，耶穌以「同在」做為聖靈的內住與祂工作的詮釋。若你反覆閱讀並思想耶穌如何住在我們裡面，我們又如何住在祂裡面，將會明白其實這一體兩面的真理，乃在乎聖靈的內住。所以，我們要確切地抓住聖靈同在的事實，是極為重要的。

唯一的方法，就是每天來到上帝面前，宣告我們的信心，並重新領受上帝的恩典。耶穌已經復活升天，肉身沒有與我們同在，但聖靈保惠師卻可彌補這缺憾，祂每時每刻都可與我們相近相親，耶穌也可透過祂住在我們心裡，那是一種活潑的生命力，有如活水的泉源，不斷流露出耶穌的愛與馨香之氣，只要我們每天花些時間親近祂，祂不單供應我們新鮮的靈糧與能力，讓我們生活有愛，行路有光，更要使我們周圍的人，都得蒙恩澤與好處。

親愛的弟兄姐妹們，每天的開始，都要謙恭地來到這位三一真神的面前，好好地敬拜祂，讚美祂的聖名，並將自己完全委身給聖靈，並堅心仰賴祂，相信祂要做成一項偉大奇妙的工作，就是耶穌基督要住在我們心中，我們也要每時每刻活在祂面前。



THE EVER-ABIDING SPIRIT

Scripture: "The Father shall give you another Comforter, that He may be with you for ever . . . He abideth with you, and shall be in you."—JOHN xiv. 16, 17 .

Each usually think of the abiding Presence of the Lord as promised to us. Christ distinctly says, "Abide in Me and I in you," "Abide ye in My love" (John xv.). In the above text He speaks of "abiding" as evidence of the indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit. Read the text over again, and you will see that Christ abiding in us and our abiding in Him—"ye in Me, and I in you"— is altogether dependent upon the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Therefore it is of the greatest importance that we rightly grasp the fact of the ever-abiding indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

This can only be done, each day as we appear in God's Presence, by renewing and confessing our faith in the ever-abiding indwelling of the Spirit. It was as the Comforter that He was to compensate the disciples for the absence of Christ's physical Presence, and with this heavenly comfort He comforts us each hour. It is through Him we have Christ in our hearts, a living mighty force, animating and enlightening us and filling our lives. This can be ours if we come into touch with God in Christ each day, thus receiving fresh power to influence and bless others.

Oh, my brother! Begin the day with the Triune God. Take time to worship God in Christ. Take time to yield yourself to the Holy Spirit, and to count upon Him to accomplish a great work in you by making Christ ever present in you.
