0316 主会审判
因为我们众人必要在基督台前显露出来…《哥林多后书 5:10》
保罗说，我们所有人，无论是传道人还是其他人，都必要「在基督审判台前显露」。但如果你此时此地学会生活在基督纯净之光的审视之下，你的最终审判只会带给你喜乐，因你看到神在你身上所做的工。活着要经常提醒自己基督的审判台，并在祂已赐给你的圣洁知识中行走。容忍对他人的错误态度会导致你跟随魔鬼的灵，无论你是多么圣洁。对另一个人肉体的判断只会在你里面起到地狱的目的；要立即将它带到光中并承认：「哦，主啊，我在那里犯罪了。」如果你不这样做，你的心就会变得彻头彻尾的刚硬。罪的刑罚之一就是我们对罪的接受。不仅神会惩罚罪，罪也会在罪人身上根深蒂固并导致严重损害；任何挣扎或祷告都不能使你停止做某些事情，而罪的惩罚就是你逐渐习惯它，直到你最终到了甚至不再意识到它是罪的地步。除了被圣灵充满而来的能力之外，没有任何力量可以改变或阻止罪的固有后果。
「我们若在光明中行，如同神在光明中……」（约翰一书 1:7）。对我们许多人来说，行在光中意味着按照我们为他人设定的标准行事为人。我们今天展现出法利赛人最致命的态度不是假冒为善，而是来自不知不觉地活在谎言中。

0316 The Master Will Judge
We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ… —2 Corinthians 5:10
Paul says that we must all, preachers and other people alike, “appear before the judgment seat of Christ.” But if you will learn here and now to live under the scrutiny of Christ’s pure light, your final judgment will bring you only delight in seeing the work God has done in you. Live constantly reminding yourself of the judgment seat of Christ, and walk in the knowledge of the holiness He has given you. Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are. One carnal judgment of another person only serves the purposes of hell in you. Bring it immediately into the light and confess, “Oh, Lord, I have been guilty there.” If you don’t, your heart will become hardened through and through. One of the penalties of sin is our acceptance of it. It is not only God who punishes for sin, but sin establishes itself in the sinner and takes its toll. No struggling or praying will enable you to stop doing certain things, and the penalty of sin is that you gradually get used to it, until you finally come to the place where you no longer even realize that it is sin. No power, except the power that comes from being filled with the Holy Spirit, can change or prevent the inherent consequences of sin.
“If we walk in the light as He is in the light…” (1 John 1:7). For many of us, walking in the light means walking according to the standard we have set up for another person. The deadliest attitude of the Pharisees that we exhibit today is not hypocrisy but that which comes from unconsciously living a lie.
