慕安德烈每日靈修 God's Best Secrets by Andrew Murray 基督徒的完全 經文: 「但願賜平安的上帝，就是那憑永約之血、使群羊的大牧人，我主耶穌從死�復活的上帝，在各樣善事上成全你們，叫你們遵行祂的旨意，又藉著耶穌基督在你們心裡行祂所喜悅的事。」（希伯來十三：20∼21） 親愛的弟兄姐妹們，預備你們的心，培養更大更寬廣的信心，這兒又有一個上帝寶貴的應許，是超過我們所思所想，就如同天超過地那樣，非人的理性所能理解。 希伯來書提到了不起的真理，那就是耶穌永恆的救贖，新約的中保，忠信的大祭司，藉著祂所流的寶血，為我們成就大事工。希伯來書的作者，在闡釋福音真理，傳遞屬靈教導時，做了如下的結論：「賜平安的上帝」。請聽：「要叫你們行善，就是上帝所預備叫我們行的。」這不是包括一切的事嗎？我們還能要求更多嗎？是的，請注意，「做工在你心中，行祂眼中看為正的事。」這一切都是藉著主耶穌而成的。 耶穌所以救贖我們，所以從死裡復活，最終極的目標，就是要得著我們這個人，讓我們成為祂合用的器皿，行各樣的善事。若我們問如何達成？答案就是藉著耶穌基督，在我們心裡做工，行上帝眼中看為可喜悅的事。 在教會裡我們被教導要仰望耶穌，跟隨耶穌，這全備的救恩，因著寶貴的應許，而達到完美的高峰——那就是耶穌要親自成全這善工在信靠祂的兒女身上，亦即藉著耶穌基督在信徒心中做工，使他們行上帝眼中看為可喜悅的事。 有人說這理想太高，這應許太不夠實際，我們做不到。然而，讓我們宣告上帝的全能，激勵我們的信心；我們只要緊緊地抓住一個真理——全能永在的上帝，每天每時每刻藉著耶穌做工在我們心裡面。我們所要做的部份，就是將自己交託在上帝手中，安息在祂的懷裡，不要用自己的努力掙扎，攔阻了上帝的聖工，我們只要安安靜靜地等候在上帝面前，讚美祂的全能，堅信聖經的真理，相信祂要藉著耶穌基督在我們心裡做工，助我們行上帝眼中看為正的事。「主啊，求您加添我信心。」 CHRISTIAN PERFECTION Scripture: "The God of peace make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ."—HEB. xiii. 20, 21. Prepare your heart, my reader, for a large and strong faith, here again to take in one of those promises of God, as high above all our thoughts as the heaven is above the earth. You know what a wonderful exposition we have in the Epistle to the Hebrews of that eternal redemption which Christ our great High Priest, the Mediator of the new covenant, worked out for us through the shedding of His precious blood. The writer of the Epistle closes his whole argument, and all its deep spiritual teaching with the benediction—"The God of peace"—listen, "make you perfect in every good work to do His will." Does not that include everything ? Can we desire more ? Yes, listen— "working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight," and that through Jesus Christ. The great thought here is that all that Christ had wrought out for our redemption, and all that God had done in raising Him from the dead, was just with the one object that He might now have free scope for working out in us that everlasting redemption which Christ had brought in. He Himself as God the Omnipotent ever-working, will make us per¬fect in every good work. And if we want to know in what way, we have the answer: By His working within us that which is well-pleasing in His sight. And that through Jesus Christ. All that we have been taught about the completeness of the salvation in Christ, and our call to 'look on Him, to follow Him, is here crowned and finds its consummation in the blessed assurance, God Himself takes such an entire charge of the man who really trusts Him, that He Himself will through Jesus Christ work all that is well-pleasing in His sight. The thought is too high, the promise is too large; we cannot attain to it. And yet there it is, claiming, stimulating our faith. It calls us just to take hold of the one truth—the everlasting God works in me every hour of the day through Jesus Christ. I have just one thing to do, to yield myself into God's hands for Him to work. Not to hinder Him by my working, but in a silent adoring faith to be assured that He Himself through Jesus Christ will work in me all that is well-pleasing in His sight.
