高大的香柏树

Nov 30, 2023

散发着黎巴嫩的荣耀……(以赛亚书35:2)

黎巴嫩山上高大的香柏树远远胜过其他香柏树。然而,它的力量不在其高度,而是根系的深度。据说高大的香柏树几乎能够弯至地面而不会折断,反弹之后会更结实。今天上帝使用高大的香柏树来建造美好的教会。在建造过程中,重生只占5%;而95%则是属灵上的成长以至成熟。“按你们学习的时间来算,你们本该做别人的老师了,可惜你们还需要别人向你们传授上帝话语的基本道理,成了不能吃干粮、只能吃奶的人。“因为只能吃奶的人还是婴孩,不熟习仁义的道理。干粮是给成年人吃的,他们的心思历经锻炼,能够分辨善恶。所以我们要离开有关基督的初级道理,努力迈向成熟……”(希伯来书5:12-6:1)请留意“他们的心思历经锻炼”这句话。你不能像那个老农夫一样,总是在周三晚上的祷告会上做同样的见证:“我没有什么进步,但感谢上帝,我立足于祂里面了。”有一年春天,他的拖拉机陷进泥潭里,车轮一直在原地打转。牧师正好路过;他摇下车窗,笑着说:“弟兄,想一想,你可能没有什么进步,但感谢上帝,你得以立足了。”不要再为你的不成熟找借口!你必须力争变得“成熟,达到基督那样完美的生命。”(以弗所书4:13)
