属灵的亲密

Apr 5, 2024

我渴望认识基督和祂复活的大能。(腓立比书3:10)

在创世记2:25我们读到:“当时,他们夫妇二人都赤身露体,并不觉得羞耻。”这就是亲密!然而,终极的亲密并不是夫妻间的亲密,而是与上帝的亲密!保罗不仅为此祷告,而且追求与基督亲密。扩充版《圣经》中腓立比书3:10直译为:“我立定心意来认识祂,如此我就可以逐渐更深更亲密地认识祂,更加强烈清楚地领会、辨认并明白祂的奇妙之处。”你可以这么说吗?还是在赞美祂的同时,你的心思却飘到九霄云外?你是否如此爱挑剔,以至于看起来像是个不信的人?保罗会这么回应:“我的目标是永远都不要这么做,却要追求与上帝亲密无间,不管发生什么事情,我都要与祂同行。”我们也应该设立这样的目标!但我们趋于越来越忙,与上帝之间的关系就变得越来越肤浅,“属灵的油箱”也缺了油。要花时间努力亲近上帝,我们才能有属灵的亲密,“属灵的油箱”才会满溢。 我们与上帝之间的亲密并不能速成。朋友和家人会误解你,你的肉体会反对你,逆境会使你气馁。如果容易的话,每个人都能够经历到了。因此,奖赏只给那些能够如此说的人——“我渴望认识基督和祂复活的大能。”
