經文: 「與上帝相交。」（約翰壹書一：6）

當我們以信心接受耶穌做我們個人救主時，耶穌就往在我們心裡面，我們也住在耶穌裡面，彼此可以相交，並且合而為一。耶穌所喜愛的，就是我們所喜愛的，耶穌所恨惡的，也是我們所恨惡的。

耶穌喜愛罪人，恨惡罪，我們也是如此；耶穌關心上帝的榮耀，我們也同樣關切，甘心為上帝的國勞苦；祂渴望聖徒將來與祂同在天堂，我們也渴望將來與上帝同在天堂；祂渴望消滅罪惡，我們也以祂為元帥，竭力抵擋罪惡；耶穌渴望全地都頌揚上帝的名，因祂的名何其美，我們也是每天這樣禱告：「願您的國降臨，願您的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。」

我們也要在祂的「苦難」上有份，雖然我們並沒有像祂那樣被釘十字架，但祂被辱罵，就如同我們自己被辱罵。我們也要在祂的「勞苦「上有份，殷勤地用上帝的話語來餵養有需要的人。耶穌的食物就是行天父的旨意，我們的食物也是要完成耶穌未竟的遺志，就是將福音傳遍地極。

我們還有一個更寶貴的福份，就是可以享受耶穌同在的喜樂，藉著與祂相交談話，我們的心得著滋潤與慰藉。那種至極的、純潔的喜樂，是這地上絕無僅有、無出其右的人間至樂。


Morning, November 23

Scripture: "Fellowship with him."(1 John 1:6)

When we were united by faith to Christ, we were brought into such complete fellowship with him, that we were made one with him, and his interests and ours became mutual and identical. We have fellowship with Christ in his love. What he loves we love. He loves the saints—so do we. He loves sinners—so do we. He loves the poor perishing race of man, and pants to see earth's deserts transformed into the garden of the Lord—so do we. We have fellowship with him in his desires. He desires the glory of God—we also labour for the same. He desires that the saints may be with him where he is—we desire to be with him there too. He desires to drive out sin—behold we fight under his banner. He desires that his Father's name may be loved and adored by all his creatures—we pray daily, "Let thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, even as it is in heaven." We have fellowship with Christ in his sufferings. We are not nailed to the cross, nor do we die a cruel death, but when he is reproached, we are reproached; and a very sweet thing it is to be blamed for his sake, to be despised for following the Master, to have the world against us. The disciple should not be above his Lord. In our measure we commune with him in his labours, ministering to men by the word of truth and by deeds of love. Our meat and our drink, like his, is to do the will of him who hath sent us and to finish his work. We have also fellowship with Christ in his joys. We are happy in his happiness, we rejoice in his exaltation. Have you ever tasted that joy, believer? There is no purer or more thrilling delight to be known this side heaven than that of having Christ's joy fulfilled in us, that our joy may be full. His glory awaits us to complete our fellowship, for his Church shall sit with him upon his throne, as his well-beloved bride and queen.
