今日经节及注解：
犹11～25 |
|
重点经节 |
|
|
神差祂的独生子到世上来，使我们借着祂得生并活着，在此神的爱就向我们显明了。
亲爱的，神既是这爱我们，我们也当彼此相爱。
从来没有人见过神；我们若彼此相爱，神就住在我们里面，祂的爱也在我们里面得了成全。
|
|
生命供应 |
|
爱是神性情的素质，当我们得着祂作我们神圣的生命，我们就有这生命的性情，那就是爱。我们基督徒，神的儿女，有一种生命，渴望过与每个人并每件事物都是对的生活，也渴望爱别人。我们有这样的渴望是因着里面有神圣的性情。
约翰在约壹三章十六节说…基督为我们舍了祂的魂生命，祂的朴宿克（psuche）生命；而不说基督舍了祂的神圣生命，祂的奏厄（zoe）生命。基督为我们
舍了祂的魂，意思就是为我们舍了祂属人的生命。现今我们应当为弟兄舍命。这意思是如果必要，我们应当为弟兄死。我们里面有这样一个爱的生命，渴望为弟兄
死，也能为弟兄死。我们里面神圣的生命，奏厄（zoe），渴望爱弟兄，如果必要，甚至为弟兄死。我们能这样作，因为我们有神圣的生命。
[约壹三章]十七节的世上养生之物是指物质的东西，生活的必需品。在十八节里，行为与言语相对，真诚与舌头相对。舌头是指玩弄虚空的谈论，真诚是指爱的实
际。真诚表明诚实，与舌头相对，正如行为与言语相对。这里的真诚是指神的真实，真诚，乃是神圣的美德成了人的美德，作神圣实际的流出。因此，这节的真诚是
神的实际成为我们的美德。
约翰说，我们爱弟兄，不该只在言语和舌头上，不该只告诉圣徒，我们爱他们。这不是在真诚上的爱，在实际上的爱。在真诚或实际上爱圣徒，意思是在成为我们美
德的神圣实际上，在诚实、信实、真诚、真实的事情上爱他们。我们应当这样来爱弟兄。当然，这种在真诚上的爱，包含在必要的时候，以物质的东西或金钱供给有
需要的人。我们不应当用虚空的谈论来爱弟兄；我们应当在真诚上，甚至用我们养生之物来爱弟兄。（约翰壹书生命读经，第二九一，三○○至三○一页。） |

Let's Pray: |
|
Lord Jesus, thank You that there is such a divine
love, a mutual love, from the Father to You, from You to us, and now
from us to You. Thank You, Lord, we love You with Your love. |
|
|
In the church of Jesus there is love for you,
Love most pure and tender, love most deep and true;
Why should you be lonely, why for friendship sigh,
When the church of Jesus has a full supply?
In the church of Jesus there's a place for you;
Glorious, bright, and joyous, right and peaceful
too;
Why then like a wand'rer, roam with weary pace,
If the church of Jesus holds for you a place.

Today's Verses and Footnotes:
Jude 11-25 |
|
Key Verses: |
|
|
In this the love of God
was manifested among us, that God sent His only begotten Son
into the world that we might have life and live through Him.
|
|
|
Beloved, if God has
loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
|
|
|
No one has beheld God
at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and
His love is perfected in us.
|
|
Life Supply:
|
|
Love is the
essence of God’s nature. When we have Him as our divine life, we
have the nature of this life, which is love. We Christians, the
children of God, have a life that aspires to live rightly with
everyone and everything and also aspires to love others. We have
such an aspiration because of the divine nature within us.
In 3:16 John
says … that Christ laid down His soul life, His psuche life, for us,
not His divine life, His zoe life. For Christ to lay down His soul
for us means that He laid down His human life on our behalf. Now we
ought to lay down our lives on behalf of the brothers. This means
that, if necessary, we should die for them. We have within us such a
loving life that longs to die for others and is able to die for
them. The divine life within us, the zoe, longs to love others and
even die for them if necessary. We are able to do this because we
have the divine life.
The
livelihood of the world in verse 17 refers to material things, to
the necessities of life. In verse 18, deed is versus word, and truth
versus tongue. Tongue denotes the play of vain talk. Truth denotes
the reality of love. Truth denotes sincerity, in contrast with
tongue, as deed with word. Truth here denotes the genuineness, the
sincerity, of God as a divine virtue becoming a human virtue as an
issue of the divine reality. Therefore, the truth in this verse is
the reality of God becoming our virtue.
John says that
we should not love the brothers merely in word or in tongue, not
merely telling the saints that we love them. This is not love in
truth, love in reality. To love the saints in truth or reality means
to love them in the divine reality that becomes our virtue,
something that is honest, faithful, sincere, and real. We should
love the brothers in this way. Of course, this kind of love in truth
includes a love that supplies the needy ones with material things or
money when necessary. We should not love the brothers with vain
words; we should love them in truth and even with our livelihood.
