火香柏树

Nov 28, 2023

散发着黎巴嫩的荣耀……(以赛亚书35:2)

所罗门用来建造圣殿的另一种香柏树叫做“火香柏树”。据说牧羊人夜里用它来生火,因为它浸透了油,容易点燃,并且会燃烧很长的一段时间。多么美好的画面!上帝在楼上的房间聚集了120棵“火香柏树”,“忽然,天上发出一阵响声,好像狂风呼啸而过,充满了他们所在的房子,又有火焰般的舌头显现出来,分别落在各人的头上。大家都被圣灵充满……”(使徒行传2:2-4)那一天有三千灵魂归向基督!教会诞生于烈火中,又由火来维持,所以千万不能熄灭那火种!甚至是在旧约时代会幕的日子,上帝命令百姓从祭坛上取下燃烧的火,把它带到他们要去的任何地方。明白这个意思了吧?今天许多被称为“复兴”的运动,似乎不过是潮来潮往罢了。我们在灵里饥渴时,也即最脆弱之时,因为我们站在两个属灵国度的门槛上。分辨真正复兴的方法是问自己以下四个问题:一、它符合经文吗(参以赛亚书8:20)?二、它高举基督吗(参约翰福音3:30)?它显明上帝的爱吗(参使徒行传2:44-45)?四、它赢得灵魂并且使他们成为门徒吗?“你们多结果子,证明自己是我的门徒,就会给我父带来荣耀。”(约翰福音15:8)
