0316 主會審判
因為我們眾人必要在基督台前顯露出來…《哥林多後書 5:10》
保羅說，我們所有人，無論是傳道人還是其他人，都必要「在基督審判台前顯露」。但如果你此時此地學會生活在基督純凈之光的審視之下，你的最終審判只會帶給你喜樂，因你看到神在你身上所做的工。活着要經常提醒自己基督的審判台，並在祂已賜給你的聖潔知識中行走。容忍對他人的錯誤態度會導致你跟隨魔鬼的靈，無論你是多麼聖潔。對另一個人肉體的判斷只會在你裡面起到地獄的目的；要立即將它帶到光中並承認：「哦，主啊，我在那裡犯罪了。」如果你不這樣做，你的心就會變得徹頭徹尾的剛硬。罪的刑罰之一就是我們對罪的接受。不僅神會懲罰罪，罪也會在罪人身上根深蒂固並導致嚴重損害；任何掙扎或禱告都不能使你停止做某些事情，而罪的懲罰就是你逐漸習慣它，直到你最終到了甚至不再意識到它是罪的地步。除了被聖靈充滿而來的能力之外，沒有任何力量可以改變或阻止罪的固有後果。
「我們若在光明中行，如同神在光明中……」（約翰一書 1:7）。對我們許多人來說，行在光中意味着按照我們為他人設定的標準行事為人。我們今天展現出法利賽人最致命的態度不是假冒為善，而是來自不知不覺地活在謊言中。

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.
