531 中翻英 (231) God's grace is enough for us. 上帝的恩典夠你用. 9/24/2023
九月二十四日的晨曦甘露夠我飲用, 最曠野真的有筵席夠我充饑. 編輯者隱瞞了數十年, 沒有將上帝愛我最佳, 及最多的恩典, 來榮耀上帝. 在我剛進入台灣大學讀書的時候, 是帶著生病的大哥一起靠主的曠野筵席活著. 上帝沒有拋棄我們, 祂總和我們在一起, 引領我們, 賜我們足夠用的甘露及曠野瑪啦達二十年之久. 親愛的的訪友, 這是實存(Reality)的神跡. 不然, 我怎能寫出上帝的作為是那麼的實存.
掃羅(後來改稱保羅)是那麼的自以為是, 以綑綁殺害有基督信仰的門徒, 為實行他以前相信的神旨意. 當他行在大馬色的路去抓基督徒時, 他遇見復活的主耶穌基督的大光. 然後, 改名為保羅, 盡一生寶貴的生命, 傳揚基督耶穌的復活. 只要他一站在眾人面前, 傳講福音, 復活的主就與他同在, 見證了主耶穌基督的復活, 所以主耶穌基督復活, 實存在使徒保羅的身上.
「我們這許多人，在基督里成為一身，互相聯絡作肢體，也是如此。」 （羅 12:5 新國際版）
主耶穌和祂的子民聯為一身，我們在祂里面互相聯絡作肢體的這個概念，与大數的掃羅蒙召悔改時所發生的這件事，是緊緊連在一起的。主首先對他說的話是：「我是你所逼迫的耶穌。」（徒 9:5）這句話很鄭重的提醒掃羅一件事：凡触犯祂子民的，就是触犯了祂。主耶穌這句話，在一個非常特出的過程中，導致了掃羅從祂所領受教會那偉大奧秘的啟示。但主耶穌并非說了這句話就算了，祂不容許掃羅只是停留在屬天的奧秘里。緊隨這啟示之后是一個有實際行動和后果的命令：「起來，進城去，你所當做的事，必有人告訴你。」（徒 9:6）「必有人告訴你。」他必須等候去接受他所痛恨之人的教導！若离開這班他定意下手除滅的門徒，掃羅便毫無救助了。這個關鍵他可能不會知道。

“So we, who are many, are one body in Christ and are joined together as
members.” (Romans 12:5 NIV )
The idea that the Lord Jesus and His people are one body, that we are
all joined together as members in Him, is closely connected with what happened
when Saul of Tarsus was called to repent. The first words the Lord said to him
were: "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting." (Acts 9:5) This
sentence solemnly reminded Saul of one thing: Anyone who offends His people has
offended Him. These words of the Lord Jesus led, in a very remarkable process,
to the revelation of the great mystery of the Church which Saul had received
from Him. But the Lord Jesus did not let it go after saying these words. He did
not allow Saul to just stay in the heavenly mysteries. This revelation was
followed by a command with practical action and consequences: "Arise and
go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." (Acts 9:6)
"You will be told." He had to wait. To be taught by the one he hates!
Without this group of disciples whom he was determined to destroy, Saul would
be helpless. He may not know this key.
