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

聖靈與基督

經文: 「祂要榮耀我，因為祂要將受於我的，告訴你們。」（約翰福音十六：14）

我們發現耶穌把聖靈這禮物，視為信心的果子，那些真心相信耶穌的，他腹中必要流出活水的泉源。聖靈榮耀耶穌，尊榮耶穌，這是我們要學習的重要課題。你渴望被聖靈充滿嗎？那麼堅定相信耶穌是上帝的兒子吧！你渴望耶穌常住你心嗎？那麼倚靠聖靈向你啟示耶穌。聖靈被差派下來，就是要將榮耀的耶穌，啟示成形在你心中。

我們看到上帝的豐盛，充充滿滿的在耶穌裡面，為的是要耶穌豐盛的生命也能充滿在我們心中。上帝的愛和祂的生命，都在耶穌裡面，藉著聖靈，我們得以與耶穌聯合，就像葡萄樹與枝子的關係，我們在耶穌裡面，耶穌也在我們裡面，每天我們第一件要做的事，就是宣告耶穌住在我們心裡面，聖靈也要幫助我們體會這情形，讓我們依靠心中這股安靜的聖靈力量吧！

喔，親愛的弟兄姐妹們，這真理多麼深奧神聖，實在超過我們有限的理解能力，但聖靈，祂也是上帝，將會向我們啟示這真理，讓我們像孩童般單純地抓緊這真理，有信心相信聖靈必要安靜地、確實地在我們心中做工，讓耶穌長住在我們心中。

每天清晨都做這樣的禱告：天父！求你藉著聖靈強化我裡面這個人，並且相信耶穌住在我心裡，當我定睛在十架上和寶座上的耶穌，單純地、渴慕地仰望耶穌，相信祂樂意與我們一同坐席談話，耶穌就會藉著聖靈將祂自己顯明在我們心內，如此我們就可很有把握的說：「耶穌住在我心，祂是我的生命。」


THE SPIRIT AND CHRIST

Scripture: "He shall glorify Me; for He shall take of Mine, and shall declare it unto you."—JOHN xvi. 14.

We have seen that Christ spoke of the gift of the Spirit as the fruit of faith in Christ. The Spirit would flow as a river from those who believed in Christ. Today we have the other side of the truth; the Spirit flows from Christ; the Spirit reveals Christ and imparts Him. This is a lesson of deep importance. Do you desire the Spirit? Have faith in Christ who bestows His Spirit. Do you desire Christ? Rely upon the Spirit to reveal Christ to you. The Spirit is sent from Christ glorified in heaven to impart Christ glorified to us upon earth, that Christ may be glorified in our hearts.

We have seen that the fulness of the Godhead dwelt in Christ in order that Christ as the life of God might dwell in us. All the life and love of God which the Spirit imparts to us is in Christ. Our whole life consists in Union with Christ. As the branch is in the vine, so are we in Christ and He in us. Our first requirement each new day is to know that Christ lives in us and that the Holy Spirit will make this an abiding reality. Count upon the quiet unseen working of the Holy Spirit in your heart.

Oh, Christian, this truth so deep and so divine is almost beyond our finite grasp. The Holy Ghost, who is God, will reveal it to us. Cling in childlike trust to Christ, confident that the Holy Spirit is working silently within you, so that Christ may dwell in your heart by faith. Make it a matter of prayer every day that "the Father may grant you to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your heart by faith." Fix your heart upon Christ on the Cross, upon Christ on the throne, in childlike trust that while you do so Christ will be revealed in your heart by the Holy Ghost, and you may confi¬dently say: "Christ liveth in me—Christ is my life!"
