530 中翻英 (230)  Our testimony is to confirm Christ Himself in our daily actions.                                    在天路的旅程中，基督乃是我們隨時所帶著的見證.           9/23/2023                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

九月二十三日的曠野筵席中,   有一盤稀有的菜餚,   基督徒奔走天路時,   隨時所帶著的都是為基督作見證見證.     

「把杠穿在柜旁的環內，以便抬柜。」（出   37:5 新國際版）

約柜沒有固定的台座。在描述帳幕的全部過程中，圣經從未提及下面的地板應該如何制作。當然，帳幕的地板下面，也同樣的是每一個以色列民的腳所踏的曠野沙土。我們基督徒的見證，是要在每日的生活行動中，去證實基督自己。約柜的兩根抬杠，保證它時刻在准備被抬著往前走。同樣的，我們的見證也絕不該是靜止的，而卻是時常活潑、新鮮，并滿有生气的。我在這里的意思，不是指著當一個需要來到了，我們便立刻以戲劇性的表現來應付它。我所指的，乃是時刻准備好的新鮮見證，能以實際表明神所能做之工。在我們天路的旅程中，基督乃是我們所帶著的見證，至于我們用口舌傳講祂，這方面的見證，則不過是次要的。此外，在這旅程中往前的每一步路，都會使我們對基督有新的發現。

"And he inserted the poles through the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it."         (Exodus 37:5 NIV)

The Ark of the Covenant had no fixed pedestal. In all its description of the tabernacle, the Bible never mentions how the floor beneath was to be made. Of course, under the floor of the tabernacle, there was also the same desert sand that every Israelite's feet stepped on. Our Christian testimony is to confirm Christ Himself in our daily actions. The two poles of the Ark ensured that it was always ready to be carried forward. Likewise, our testimony should never be static, but should always be lively, fresh, and full of life. What I mean here is not that when a need comes, we immediately respond to it with dramatic displays. What I mean that is a fresh testimony always being ready, a practical demonstration of what God can do. Christ is the testimony we carry with us on our pilgrimage, and our preaching of Him with our tongues is only secondary. Furthermore, every step along this journey leads to a new discovery of Christ.
