1:1 奉 神旨意,作基督耶穌使徒的保羅,寫信給在以弗所的聖徒,就是在基督耶穌裏有忠心的人。 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, (\f1 1:1 Some early manuscripts do not have|i in Ephesus|d.)the faithful(\f2 1:1 Or|i believers who are|d )in Christ Jesus:
1:2 願恩惠、平安從 神我們的父和主耶穌基督歸與你們! Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1:3 願頌讚歸與我們主耶穌基督的父 神!他在基督裏曾賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 1:4 就如 神從創立世界以前,在基督裏揀選了我們,使我們在他面前成為聖潔,無有瑕疵; For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 1:5 又因愛我們,就按著自己意旨所喜悅的,預定我們藉著耶穌基督得兒子的名分, he(\f3 1:5 Or|i sight in love. \V 5 |iHe|d) predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will-- 1:6 使他榮耀的恩典得著稱讚;這恩典是他在愛子裏所賜給我們的。 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 1:7 我們藉這愛子的血得蒙救贖,過犯得以赦免,乃是照他豐富的恩典。 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 1:8 這恩典是 神用諸般智慧聰明,充充足足賞給我們的; that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 1:9 都是照他自己所預定的美意,叫我們知道他旨意的奧祕, And he(\f4 1:9 Or|i us. With all wisdom and understanding, \V 9 |ihe|d) made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 1:10 要照所安排的,在日期滿足的時候,使天上、地上、一切所有的都在基督裏面同歸於一。 0 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment--to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. 1:11 我們也在他裏面得〔得:或譚成〕了基業;這原是那位隨己意行、做萬事的,照著他旨意所預定的, In him we were also chosen, (\f5 1:11 Or|i were made heirs|d) having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 1:12 叫他的榮耀從我們這首先在基督裏有盼望的人可以得著稱讚。 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 1:13 你們既聽見真理的道,就是那叫你們得救的福音,也信了基督,既然信他,就受了所應許的聖靈為印記。 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 1:14 這聖靈是我們得基業的憑據〔原文是質〕,直等到 神之民〔民:原文是產業〕被贖,使他的榮耀得著稱讚。 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory. 1:15 因此,我既聽見你們信從主耶穌,親愛眾聖徒, For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 1:16 就為你們不住地感謝 神。禱告的時候,常提到你們, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 1:17 求我們主耶穌基督的 神,榮耀的父,將那賜人智慧和啟示的靈賞給你們,使你們真知道他, I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit(\f6 1:17 Or|i a spirit|d) of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 1:18 並且照明你們心中的眼睛,使你們知道他的恩召有何等指望,他在聖徒中得的基業有何等豐盛的榮耀; I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 1:19 並知道他向我們這信的人所顯的能力是何等浩大, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 1:20 就是照他在基督身上所運行的大能大力,使他從死裏復活,叫他在天上坐在自己的右邊, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 1:21 遠超過一切執政的、掌權的、有能的、主治的,和一切有名的;不但是今世的,連來世的也都超過了。 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 1:22 又將萬有服在他的腳下,使他為教會作萬有之首。 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 1:23 教會是他的身體,是那充滿萬有者所充滿的。 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

四月六日 「我要站在守望所,立在望樓上觀看,看耶和華對我說甚麼話。」哈巴谷書二章1節 不等神的幫助,不得神的幫助。許多時候我們從神那裏得不到所求的,都因為我們沒有等候祂的答應。許多從天來的援助只經過我們,而不臨到我們,都是因為我們沒有站在守望所遠遠看它臨近,開我們的心門來迎接它。所以一個人的期待,倘使不能警覺到神助之將臨,所得必屬稀少。在你生命的過程中,應隨時注意著神。 古諺有云:「凡是守候天神的人,就無需天神守護」。反過來也可以說:「凡是不守候天神的人,就沒有天神守護他」。天下雨的時候,你如果不把你的水缸拿出來,你還是得不到水。 人到銀行裏去支錢,絕不會一會兒進去,一會兒出來,一會兒把支票放在櫃檯上,一會兒把它收回來─如果有人一天這樣作幾次的話,我想定規會有命令下來把這人趕出去。凡誠心到銀行裏來拿錢的人,都是把支票呈上,靜靜地在那裏等待,直到他們拿到了錢,然後出去的。 正常的人往銀行去取款,絕不會把支票放下,反而空論簽字的筆法如何,紙張的優劣又如何。記著,人到銀行的目的是取款,取不到不罷休,這纔是銀行歡迎的顧客,不是浪費時間去作無聊之事。啊,可惜今天有頂多的人把禱告當作兒戲。他們禱告了,不等神的答應,就收回了;再求,再收。 信徒們,讓我們學習在守望所的望樓上多守候神! ─司布真 「你的指望……不至斷絕。」(箴廿三18)

April 6 "I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me."(Hab. 2:1.) THERE is no waiting on God for help, and there is no help from God, without watchful expectation on our part. If we ever fail to receive strength and defense from Him, it is because we are not on the outlook for it. Many a proffered succour from heaven goes past us, because we are not standing on our watchtower to catch the far-off indications of its approach, and to fling open the gates of our heart for its entrance. He whose expectation does not lead him to be on the alert for its coming will get but little. Watch for God in the events of your life. The old homely proverb says: "They that watch for providence will never want a providence to watch for," and you may turn it the other way and say, "They that do not watch for providences will never have a providence to watch for." Unless you put out your water-jars when it rains you will catch no water. We want to be more business-like and use common sense with God in pleading promises. If you were to go to one of the banks, and see a man go in and out and lay a piece of paper on the table, and take it up again and nothing more─if he did that several times a day, I think there would soon be orders to keep the man out. Those men who come to the bank in earnest present their checks, they wait until they receive their gold, and then they go; but not without having transacted real business. They do not put the paper down, speak about the excellent signature, and discuss the excellent document; but they want their money for it, and they are not content without it. These are the people who are always welcome at the bank, and not triflers. Alas, a great many people play at praying. They do not expect God to give them an answer, and thus they are mere triflers. Our Heavenly Father would have us do real business with Him in our praying. ─C. H. Spurgeon. "Thine expectation shall not be cut off."

四月六日 耶利米書卅一章中的新約 「我要與以色列家……另立新約。……我要將我的律法放在他們裏面,寫在他們心上。」耶利米書卅一章31、33節 當神在西乃山與以色列人立第一次約時候,祂說:「如今你們若實在聽從我的話,遵守我的約,就要在萬民中作屬我的子民。」(出十九5)但是可惜以色列人沒有順服的能力。他們整個的天性是屬乎肉體,是在罪中。在那個約裏並沒有供應恩典,使他們能以順服。律法只是用來顯明他們的罪。 在我們所引的經文中,神應許要立一個新的約,這要把使人過順服生活的能力供應給人。在這個新約裏,律法要放在他們裏面的部位裏,要寫在他們的心裏。「不是用墨寫的,乃是用永生神的靈寫的。」所以他們能和大衛一樣地說:「我的神啊!我樂意照您的旨意行;您的律法在我心裏。」律法以及對律法的喜愛,將要藉聖靈以及祂一切的能力,來佔有我們內在的生命。正如我們在耶利米書卅二章所看見的:起先神說「我是耶和華……豈有我難成的事麼?」(27節)然後接著又說:「又要與他們立永遠的約,……且使他們有敬畏我的心,不離開我。」 這正好與舊約,以及它的軟弱無能成了對比;這種軟弱與無能,使人不能一直忠心遵守;而這新約的應許,確實保證使人繼續而全心地順服;這就是那些謹守神的話,並且完全支取應許之信徒身上的標誌。 要學習這個功課:就是在新約裏,神的大能大力要顯明在每一個相信這應許之人的心中。這應許是說:「他們……不離開我。」「我信神祂怎樣對我說,事情也要怎樣成就。」要在深沈的靜默中俯伏在神面前,並且相信祂所說的話。我們對於神保守我們不離開祂的這種能力所經歷的程度,乃是與「照著你們的信心,給你們成全了罷」的律是一致的。 我們需要認真地把新舊兩約之間的對比弄清楚。舊約裡有相當大的恩典,但不足以使我們繼續活在順服的信心中。這就是新約的確定應許,是我們的心被更新之後的結果,也是引導我們並啟示恩典的豐滿之聖靈的能力,祂要使我們「成為聖潔無可責備。」

四月六日 神和罪惡的衝突 「祂被掛在木頭上,親身擔當了我們的罪。」彼得前書二章24節 耶穌的十字架是神審判罪惡的表示。千萬不要以耶穌基督的十字架為殉道的意見。十字架是搖動地獄根基的超絕勝利。在這時間的綿延中所發生的事件,沒有一件比耶穌基督在十字架上所行的還真確可靠。祂恢復全人類與神的正當關係。祂使救贖成為人類生命的基礎,那就是祂修造了一條人與神發生團契的路。 十字架不是偶然碰到耶穌身上的,祂是為十字架而來的。「祂是從創世以來要被宰殺的羔羊。」道成肉身的整個意義,乃是十字架。不要將神顯現在肉身裡面,和人子替人受罪分開來看。道成肉身的目的是救贖。神化身的目的是要解除罪惡,並不是要實現自己。十字架是有限的時間與無限的時間的中心,是答覆二者的祕訣。 十字架不是人的十字架,是神的十字架;神的十字架,是人的經驗所不能瞭解的。十字架是神本性的展覽;是人類任何個人能藉以與神合而為一的大道。當我們來到十字架的跟前,我們不能越過,而欲留在十字架的大道所通達的生活中。 救恩的中心是耶穌的十字架,我們之所以容易獲得救恩,就是因為神付的代價很大。十字架是神和人相遇的痛苦的尖點,而生命之門也因之敞開了──但是痛苦是在神的心中。

四月六日 「正如我們一個身子上有好些肢體我們這許多人,在基督裡成為一身。」羅馬書十二章4-5節 有時因為我們與某個弟兄不和,或是在主的肢體中缺乏合一的靈,我們與神的團契關係會被切斷或被打擾到。雖然我們試著到主前去,但由於我們與主的某個肢體分離,或是因為神的愛無法自由地流過每個器官(肢體),就無法與主有美好的交通。 只要一根腦神經失靈,就可以使整個頭腦無法發揮任何作用。同樣道理,一條主動脈若受了傷,也能使心臟面臨致命的危險。因此,我們必須與神所有的兒女維持良好的關係。我們若想與主基督有完美的交通,就必須以誠實、坦白的態度對待主的每個肢體。 有時我們會發現,當我們對某一個基督徒的態度有所變更時,聖靈立刻豐富地充滿我們。就像有信心而沒有愛是不可能的事,僅與基督同在而不與祂的聖徒有甜美的團契,也是不可能的事。正如哥林多前書十二章26節所說:「若一個肢體受苦,所有的肢體就一同受苦;若一個肢體得榮耀,所有的肢體就一同快樂。」
