633 英翻中 (333) Intimacy with Jesus 與耶穌的親密. 1/5/2024
Jan. 5. Intimacy with Jesus Bible reading :Luke 18:20 Key verse: John 14:9 1 月 5 日 與耶穌的親密關係 . 讀經:路 18:20 鑰節:約翰福音 14:9
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known me, Philip? He who has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father' ?” 耶穌對他說, "腓力, 我和你在一起這麼久, 你還不認識我嗎? 凡見過父的人; 你怎麼能說, '讓我們看看父親 呢'?”
Concerning John 14:9, Oswald Chambers commented, 關於約翰福音 14 章 9 節,奧斯瓦 · 錢伯爾 (Oswald Chambers) 評論道:
These words were not spoken as rebuke, nor even with surprise; Jesus was encouraging Philip to draw closer. Yet the last person we get intimate with is Jesus. Before Pentecost the disciple knew Jesus as the One who gave them power to conquer demons and to bring about a revival (Luke 10:18-20). It was wonderful intimacy, but there is a much closer intimacy to come : “I have called you friends” (John 15:15). True friendship is rare on earth. It means identifying with someone in thought, heart, and spirit. The whole experience of life is designed to enable us to enter into this closest relationship with Jesus Christ. We receive His blessings and know His Word, but do we really know Him? 這些話並不是責備, 甚至也不是驚訝; 耶穌鼓勵腓利要更親密. 而我們對最後一個人耶穌還沒有親密. 在五旬節之前,門徒知道耶穌是賜給他們能力戰勝魔鬼, 並帶來復興的那一位(路 10:18-20). 這是美妙的親密關係, 但更親密的關係還在後頭:「我稱你們為朋友」 (約 15:15). 在世上真正的友誼是罕見的. 它意味著在思想、意念和靈性上都與祂認同. 整個生命的經歷都為了讓我們能夠與耶穌基督建立最親密的關係. 我們接受祂的祝福並了解祂的話語, 但我們可是真正的認識祂?
It
is a joy to Jesus when a disciple takes time to walk more intimately with
Him. The bearing of fruit is always
shown in Scripture to be the visible result of an intimate relationship with
Jesus Christ (John 15:1-4).
Once we get intimate with Jesus we are never lonely and we never lack for understanding or compassion. We can continually pour ou our hearts to Him without being perceived as overly emotional or pitiful. The Christian who is truly intimae with Jesus will never draw attention to himself but will only show the evidence of a life where Jesus is completely in control. 一旦我們與耶穌親密, 就不再孤獨, 也不再缺乏智慧或憐憫. 我們可以不斷地向祂傾訢, 而不會認為過於情緒化或可憐. 真正與耶穌親密的信徒, 永遠不會讓人注意他自己, 而只會彰顯耶穌完全掌控他的生命。
I want to be truly intimate with You, Jesus. Let my life demonstrate that You are in complete control. 主耶穌阿! 我想與祢有真正的親密. 求祢作我生命的主.
前篇博客論到李冰使用熱漲冷縮的原理, 經過八年的時間使用金鋼鑽鑽開花崗岩石玉壘山的 "寶瓶口" --- 都江堰引水口. 才使傷害農民耕種穀物的洪水不再成災, 而被利用. 黙黙的灌溉, 養育了中華民族兩千多年. 現在要繼續講解 "深淘灘, 低作堰" 六字金句. 涉及到都江堰另兩主要工程 --- "魚嘴" 和 "飛沙堰".
在開建都江堰前, 本來沒有內江, 李冰經過晝夜反復的思想, 才構思出使用魚嘴與寶瓶口設計出無埧引水的偉大耐用的都江堰, 才把岷江分成內江與外江. 內江是挖掘成的, 比較窄而深, 外江未動工, 淺而寬. 這裡顯明李冰的智慧. 他要把足夠的水引到內江, 用來灌溉, 怎麼辦? 那時沒有水文學和渠道水力學, 如何來設計? 肯定用灌溉使用後得來的經驗, 再與在寶瓶口所作的水位標誌來對照, 逐漸修改. 立定標準 : 4 : 6 比率. 洪水時外江河床沒有挖深, 但河面比較寬, 十分之六的水量流到外江, 內江避免洪水帶沙石進入灌溉系統, 造灌溉渠道的維護費用. 枯水時, 內江的河床比較深(要保持一定的河床深度, 否則灌溉水量就不夠). 這就是李冰的"深淘灘, 低作堰" 六字金句的源頭. 也就是為什麼有都江堰年修的嚴格規定. 設定內江每年要挖深到地底下埋設的標誌. 否則灌溉水量就無法確定. 李冰真是極盡他的智慧設計都江堰. 這也就是都江堰能黙黙的灌溉, 養育了中華民族兩千多年的原因.
