346 中翻英 (86) ... Jesus prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood ... ... 耶穌禱告更加懇切，汗珠如大血點，滴在地上。(路加福音 22 : 44) 4/23/2023

346 中翻英 (86) ... Jesus  prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood ...                                  ... 耶穌禱告更加懇切，汗珠如大血點，滴在地上。(路加福音 22 : 44)                                           4/23/2023  

我們在天上的父，願人都尊祢的名為聖，願祢的國降臨，願祢的旨意行在地上如同行在天上。我們日用的飲食，今日賜給我們。免我們的債，如同我們免了人的債。不叫我們遇見試探；救我們脫離兇惡。因為國度、權柄、榮耀，全是你的，直到永遠。阿們！

四月四日，今天應該是主耶穌受難的第二天，耶穌與門徒一同漫步來到位於耶路撒冷城外私人的客西馬尼園。祂留下其他的門徒，帶著彼得和西庇太的兩個兒子約翰與雅各去另一處禱告。祂禱告的激動，甚至使祂流出血汗滴在地上。這是路加醫生的描述，顯然是確有其事，因為人在極其激動時，微血管會破裂，汗水伴隨血液一起流出。

「看哪！弟兄和睦同居，是何等的善，何等的美，這好比那貴重的油澆在.....頭上。」（詩133:1-2  新國際版）

詩篇一三三篇是一首「上行之詩」，是一年三次，由上耶路撒冷敬拜神的人所唱的。在那條通圣殿的路上有各類的人，但有一件事，他們是相同的：他們都是面朝錫安，就是耶和華的居所。這些种种色色的人都是在合一里面的弟兄。這怎樣可能呢？在經上的比喻里對此有所闡明——那個合一像是膏油一樣。

有一种「圣膏油」，就是神自己的靈。這膏油是向下注（第二節）而不是往上流！換一句話說，神的膏油不是直接的流到肢體，乃是先在元首基督身上。圣靈除了基督以外，再找不著安息和滿足。你只要持定元首，在凡事上順從祂，這樣，你就會跟其他同具此心同行此道的眾肢體和諧一致了。各類的法規在社會上可能是好的，但基督的身體只有一個律，就是生命之靈的律（羅8:2）。你什么時候忽視圣靈的膏油，一切事情就立即混亂不安了。你只要順服祂，平安就充滿你的心。神的儿女生活中所有的那一點平易、單純，就在于此。這樣其它問題的爭辯，都不需要了！

"How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!  It is like precious oil poured on the head, ...." (Psalm 133:1-2  NIV)

Psalm 133 is a "Psalm of Ascension", which is sung three times a year by those who go up to Jerusalem to worship God. There were all kinds of different people on that road going to the temple, but in one thing, they were in the same direction going to the dwelling place of the Lord in Zion. These different people of all kinds are brothers in unity. How is it possible? This is illustrated in the parables of Scripture - that unity is like precious oil.

There is a "holy anointing oil," which is the Spirit of God Himself. This oil pours only down (verse 2) not flowing up! In other words, God's  oil does not flow directly to the body members, but first on the Head of the body --- Christ . The Holy Spirit can not be rest and satisfaction except in Christ.  As long as you follow the Head and obey Him in everything, then you will be in harmony with other members who have the same heart and walk the same way of the body. All kinds of laws may be good in society, but the body of Christ has but one law, the law of the Spirit of life (Romans 8:2). When you neglected the anointing oil of the Holy Spirit, everything will be  in disordered at once.  You have to obey Him only, then peace will come into your heart. This is how in the lives of God's children is so peaceful and simple. Then, it is no need to argue with others about other problems!
