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. 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始。多次經本人修改,2025年11月由AI協助更改加入朗讀功能,2026年加入搜尋「中、英」字皆可,顯示「黃底紅字」歡迎大家使用!! 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉(04月18日)
四月十八日 「祂就必成全。」詩篇卅七篇5節 我以前以為我禱告了之後,該負一個責任:按我所能作的盡力去作,來幫助神成全。後來,神親自教導我、指示我,這是絕對的錯誤,這反而攔阻祂的工作。祂要我禱告了之後,完全相信,用讚美和感謝去等待祂的答應。坐著不動,單信靠神,未免太不穩妥罷;我們常會有極大的試探想去自己活動。 我們都知道一個善於游泳者不能拯救一個溺者,如果後者不肯停止他自己的掙扎。神也照樣不能替我們作甚麼,如果我們不肯停止我們自己的活動。並不是神不肯,乃是神不能,我們的干涉反而攔阻祂的工作。 ─C.H.P. 屬地的力在活動的時候,屬天的力不能工作。 神答應禱告是需要時間的,我們常不肯給神相當的時間。神需要時間去畫一朵玫瑰,神需要時間去長一棵橡樹,神也需要時間來供給我們麵包:神先預備一塊麥田、耕鬆、撒種、加肥料、降雨露、降日光、長嫩葉、生穗、結實、磨粉、烘烤、然後製成麵包,使飢餓的人得著飽足。 每一部手續都需要時間,所以我們今天耕了地、撒了種,就應當等待、信靠,直到神的日期來到。我們應該給神相當的時間。讓我們在禱告的生活中也學習同樣的功課─—神答應禱告是需要時間的。 ─麥克康該

April 18 "And he shall bring it to pass." (Psa. 37:5.) I ONCE thought that after I prayed that it was my duty to do everything that I could do to bring the answer to pass. He taught me a better way, and showed that my self-effort always hindered His working, and that when I prayed and definitely believed Him for anything, He wanted me to wait in the spirit of praise, and only do what He wanted me to wait in the spirit of praise, and only do what He bade me. It seems so unsafe to just sit still, and do nothing but trust the Lord; and the temptation to take the battle into our own hands is often tremendous. We all know how impossible it is to rescue a drowning man who tries to help his rescuer, and it is equally impossible for the Lord to fight our battles for us when we insist upon trying to fight them ourselves. it is not that He will not, but He cannot. Our interference hinders His working. ─C.H.P. Spiritual forces cannot work while earthly forces are active. It takes God time to answer prayer. We often fail to give God a chance in this respect. It takes time for God to paint a rose. It takes time for God to grow an oak. It takes time for God to make bread from wheat fields. He takes the earth. He pulverizes. He softens. He enriches. He wets with showers and dews. He warms with life. He gives the blade, the stock, the amber grain, and then at last the bread for the hungry. All this takes time. Therefore we sow, and till, and wait, and trust, until all God's purpose has been wrought out. We give God a chance in this matter of time. We need to learn this same lesson in our prayer life. It takes God time to answer prayer. ─J.H.M.

四月十八日 愛的奧祕 「我為這些人祈求,……使他們都合而為一;正如你父在我裏面,我在你裏面……使他們合而為一,像我們合而為一。我在他們裏面,你在我裏面。」約翰福音十七章20—23節 在基督最後一晚對門徒們所說的話中,祂特別強調這思想:門徒們是在祂裏面,且住在祂裏面。祂雖也提到祂在他們裏面,但並不如他們在祂裏面那樣的強調。但在祂大祭司的禱告中,大多數都是說到祂在他們裏面,正如父在祂裏面一樣。「使他們合而為一,像我們合而為一。我在他們裏面,你在我裏面,使他們完完全全地合而為一,叫世人知道你差了我來,也知道你愛他們如同愛我一樣。」 只有當信徒們在生活中顯出基督在他們裏面,並且愛弟兄如同基督愛他們那樣時,才能使世人確信神愛門徒們,正如祂愛祂的兒子一樣。教會的軟弱乃是由於:沒有藉著活的合一使世人明白,並向他們證明這事實:「我們是在基督裏,基督也在我們裏面。」在這合一裏,藉著我們彼此的愛,顯明基督是在我們裏面。沒有什麼比這個更需要了:就是基督這樣的內住在我們心裏,以及信徒們由於都有基督的內住,而能彼此認識並相愛,並彼此連繫。這就是在主的禱告中末後幾句話所說的:「我已將你的名指示他們,……使你所愛我的愛,在他們裏面,我也在他們裏面。」神聖的內住最主要的榮耀,就是它能彰顯神聖的愛。父對基督的愛,藉著基督臨到我們,再從我們流出去,達到弟兄們身上,然後又達到眾人身上。 基督對凡愛祂順服祂的門徒之偉大應許乃是:「我父愛他,我也要愛他,……並且我們要到他那裏去與他同住。」(約十四21、23)聖靈(父和子在祂裏面都是合一的)切望住在我們心裏,就是為了使我們過一種愛基督,並愛弟兄的生活。神的孩子啊,但願你所尋求、所相信的,你全心全力所要得到的,不是任何更差的事物,而是主耶穌;在那「超越知識的愛」裏的內住,祂要用這愛來充滿你的心。這樣,世人因著神兒女們真正彼此相愛,就不得不承認神所說的話:「使您(父)所愛我的愛在他們裏面,我也在他們裏面。」已經應驗在他們身上。 「你們信我能作這事麼?」「主阿,我們信。」

四月十八日 準備 「神……呼叫說……他說,我在這裡。」出埃及記三章4節 當神說話的時候,我們有許多人如在霧中,不肯答覆。摩西的回答是表示他在某某地方。準備的意思,是與神有一種正當的關係,是知道我們現在的立場。我們忙得很,去告訴神,我們要往何處去。無論男女,凡願為神工作,而有準備的,則於召喚來到的時候,就會聽從而有所獲得。我們似乎等候某種偉大的時機,某種有興奮的事,當它來到的時候,我們就趕快應著說:「我在這裡。」若我們將耶穌基督高舉起來,我們就得準備好,不然我們看不清,也沒有準備去依從神。 為神準備著,意思是說,無論大事小事沒有分別,我們都當準備去做。我們不挑選我們所要作的,神的計劃怎樣,便怎樣,我們是準備好了。當任何本分來到的時候,我們聽見神的聲音,正如我們的主聽見祂父的聲音一樣,我們以最高的愛度,準備著奔赴。耶穌基督盼望用我們,如同祂父用祂一樣。祂能按其所好安置我們,把我們安於有意思的本分裡,或無意思的本分裡,因為父和祂自己是聯合一致的。「叫他們合而為一,像我們一樣。」 準備神忽然的來到。一個有準備的人,從不要提心吊膽的準備。想一想,當神呼喚來到的時候。我們為準備花掉多少時候啊!荊棘是圍繞那有準備心靈的一切事物的象徵,火是表示神親臨其間的意思。

四月十八日 「……他們必如鷹展翅上騰……」以賽亞書四十章31節 他們必如鷹展翅上騰,乃是神應許的序言;按著祂的應許,我們奔跑卻不睏倦,行走卻不疲乏。靈裡的喜樂乃是耐心前進、等候和事奉的回報。就像大自然中有定律,神的恩典也有其法則。 讓我們常常在主裡喜樂,讓我們以祂為我們永久的喜樂,因為祂的心是祝福的泉源,祂被喜樂的油膏抹勝過一切人。 當人生的激流起伏時,我們不該失望。因為即使是潮水低落時,海洋依舊是滿滿的。由於人的本性無法承擔持久的興奮,即使是快樂的興奮,所以神總是以愛來帶領我們。 讓我盡可能自然地過日子,讓我們時刻忠心地事奉祂,並且相信祂會按著祂的旨意使泉源湧流。那麼,當我們虔敬地事奉祂時,我們會聽到祂快樂的耳語:「……你這又良善又忠心的僕人,……可以進來享受你主人的快樂。」
