0309 离去还是与耶稣同行？
你们也要去吗？《约翰福音6:67》
多么尖锐深刻的问题啊！当我们的主以最简单的方式说话时，祂的话却常常打中我们的内心。尽管我们知道耶稣是谁，祂还是问：「你们也要离开吗？」我们必须对祂继续保持冒险的态度，尽管有任何个人的风险。
「从此，他门徒中多有退去的，不再与他同行。」（约翰福音 6:66）。他们转离，不再跟耶稣同行，不是犯罪，而是离开祂。今天，许多人都倾倒生命为耶稣基督工作，但并没有真正与祂同行。神经常要求我们的一件事，就是与耶稣基督合一。在经由成圣而被分别出来后，我们应该训练我们的属灵生活，以保持这种亲密的合一。当神给你清楚坚定的旨意时，你竭尽一切要以某种特定方法来维持那种关系的努力，完全是不必要的；所需要的只是过一种绝对依靠耶稣基督的自然生活。永远不要尝试以神的方式之外的任何方式来与神同行；祂的方式意味着对祂的绝对献身。不要关心前面的不确定性，此乃与耶稣同行的秘诀。
彼得在耶稣身上看到的只是一个能给他和世界救恩的人；但我们的主想要我们与祂一起同工。
在约翰福音 6:70中，耶稣慈爱地提醒彼得，他被拣选与祂同行。我们每个人都必须为自己而不是其他人回答这个问题：「你们也要离去吗？」

0309 Turning Back or Walking with Jesus?
Do you also want to go away? —John 6:67
What a penetrating question! Our Lord’s words often hit home for us when He speaks in the simplest way. In spite of the fact that we know who Jesus is, He asks, “Do you also want to go away?” We must continually maintain an adventurous attitude toward Him, despite any potential personal risk.
“From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more” (John 6:66). They turned back from walking with Jesus; not into sin, but away from Him. Many people today are pouring their lives out and working for Jesus Christ, but are not really walking with Him. One thing God constantly requires of us is a oneness with Jesus Christ. After being set apart through sanctification, we should discipline our lives spiritually to maintain this intimate oneness. When God gives you a clear determination of His will for you, all your striving to maintain that relationship by some particular method is completely unnecessary. All that is required is to live a natural life of absolute dependence on Jesus Christ. Never try to live your life with God in any other way than His way. And His way means absolute devotion to Him. Showing no concern for the uncertainties that lie ahead is the secret of walking with Jesus.
Peter saw in Jesus only someone who could minister salvation to him and to the world. But our Lord wants us to be fellow laborers with Him.
In John 6:70 Jesus lovingly reminded Peter that he was chosen to go with Him. And each of us must answer this question for ourselves and no one else: “Do you also want to go away?”
