活出有恩膏的生命

Sep 3, 2024

你们既然从主领受了圣灵,圣灵又住在你们心中……(约翰一书2:27,和合本《圣经》此处为“你们从主所受的恩膏常存在你们心里……”——译者注)

“恩膏”的意思是“倾泻下来并将其揉搓入内”。《旧约圣经》中,祭司的头上倒有膏油,象征着他每天履行职责时,上帝的圣灵都会停留在他身上。现在以我们所生活的时代为前提,再读一遍:“你们既然从主领受了圣灵,圣灵又住在你们心中。”在这一节,“住在”这个词,单纯意味着“定居并住下来”。换句话说,你是上帝圣灵的居所。当圣灵内住时,祂会给你生活的方方面面带来改变。试着想象这在你的人际关系、职业、健康、决策、挣扎、婚姻和事工中所产生的好处。想象一下,当你身负压力并且处理棘手的问题时,圣灵会做什么。况且,上帝的圣灵住在你心中,其恩膏可以传递给他人。你对别人说符合圣经原则的仁慈和鼓励之语,即便离开很久,那些话语仍会发生功效,因为它们带着上帝的同在。在《旧约圣经》中,上帝告诉摩西:“你要把我的话告诉以色列百姓,‘我要世世代代以这油为圣膏油。’”(出埃及记30:31)“世世代代!”那就意味着你的子子孙孙也能被上帝的圣灵所膏。《诗篇》作者说:“你用新油浇灌我。”(诗篇92:10)你每天早上醒来时,请祷告:“主,请你以新鲜的油来膏我。”然后走出去,以那油来感触别人!
