0919 你继续与耶稣同行吗?

0919 你继续与耶稣同行吗?

我在磨炼之中,常和我同在的就是你们。《路加福音 22:28

确实,我们在试探中,耶稣基督是与我们同在,但我们是否在祂面临试探时继续与祂同行呢?当我们体验到耶稣能做什么的那一刻起,许多人就不再继续跟随祂了。当神改变你的处境,要留意看你是否仍旧与耶稣同行,还是站在世界、肉体和魔鬼的那一边。我们背负祂的名​​,但我们是否与祂同行?「从此,他门徒中多有退去的,不再和他同行。」(约翰福音 6:66)。

耶稣面临的试探持续在祂地上的生命中,那些试探也将在我们里面神儿子的生命中持续着。我们现在所过的生活,是继续与耶稣同行吗?

我们认为我们应该保护自己,避免神带到我们身边的一些事物。千万不可!是神设计了我们的处境,无论处境如何,我们都必须留意:面对试探时继续在祂的试探中与祂同在。那些是祂的试探,不是对我们的试探,而是对我们里面神儿子的生命的试探。耶稣基督的尊荣在我们肉身生命中处于成败关头;在攻击我们里面神儿子生命的一切事上,我们是否依然保持对祂忠诚?

你继续与耶稣同行吗?这条路经过客西马尼园,经过城门,一直到「营外」(希伯来书 13:13);这路是孤独的,并一直走下去,直到连一丝足迹都无可见——只有那声音说:「来跟从我。」(马太福音4:19)。

来自章伯斯的智慧

没有人能比耶稣在人际关系中有更敏锐的爱。然而祂说,我们对父母的爱,有时候比较起对祂的爱,我们应该要更爱祂。《故我差遣你》

0919 Are You Going on With Jesus?

You are those who have continued with Me in My trials. —Luke 22:28

It is true that Jesus Christ is with us through our temptations, but are we going on with Him through His temptations? Many of us turn back from going on with Jesus from the very moment we have an experience of what He can do. Watch when God changes your circumstances to see whether you are going on with Jesus, or siding with the world, the flesh, and the devil. We wear His name, but are we going on with Him? “From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more” (John 6:66).

The temptations of Jesus continued throughout His earthly life, and they will continue throughout the life of the Son of God in us. Are we going on with Jesus in the life we are living right now?

We have the idea that we ought to shield ourselves from some of the things God brings around us. May it never be! It is God who engineers our circumstances, and whatever they may be we must see that we face them while continually abiding with Him in His temptations. They are His temptations, not temptations to us, but temptations to the life of the Son of God in us. Jesus Christ’s honor is at stake in our bodily lives. Are we remaining faithful to the Son of God in everything that attacks His life in us?

Are you going on with Jesus? The way goes through Gethsemane, through the city gate, and on “outside the camp” (Hebrews 13:13). The way is lonely and goes on until there is no longer even a trace of a footprint to follow— but only the voice saying, “Follow Me” (Matthew 4:19).

No one could have had a more sensitive love in human relationship than Jesus; and yet He says there are times when love to father and mother must be hatred in comparison to our love for Him.   –So Send I You, 1301 L
