6月11日 到主那裡去

到我這裡來。（太十一28）

我想到那裡去嗎？現在就可以去了。人生真正重大的問題本來是極少的，而這些問題都在“到我這裡來”這句話裡得了答案。不是做這個，不做那個；而是“到我這裡來”。只要來到耶穌跟前，生活就會按照我真正的渴望度過；我會真的脫離罪，真正找到主所賜的樂歌。

你曾否到耶穌這裡來？當心你心中的頑梗，叫你寧願做許多別的事，也不甘願像個天真的孩子般“到我這裡來”。你若真想斷絕罪，就必須來就耶穌。耶穌基督拿自己做試金石。請留意他如何用“來”這個字。在人最意想不到的時刻，主微聲說“到我這裡來”，你立即就被他吸引過去。

與基督的接觸，會改變人的一切。你要絕聖去智，成為愚拙，來親就耶穌，照他所說的去行。“來”的態度就是肯完全放棄一切，立志將所有的交付他。

“我就使你們得安息”，就是說“我會扶持你”。不是“我會把你送上床，執著你的手，哼著眠歌，把你送入夢鄉”。而是“我要叫你從床上起來，從頹廢疲憊中出來，從半生不死得狀況下出來；我要以生命的靈充滿你，你便有完全的生命。”我們有時會可憐兮兮地說：“為神的旨意而受苦！”這種態度，哪能彰顯兒子無上的生命力與大能呢？

祈禱◆“如甘霖滋潤田地”；“如露水降在以色列”－－噢，主啊，今天早上這些話來到我的腦海中，是帶著甜蜜的迫切感。願你今天好像甘霖、露水般臨到我們當中，滋潤、塑造和賜福我們。我懷著極大和歡欣的期望來到你的面前。

June 11 Getting There

“Come unto Me.” Matthew 11:28

Do I want to get there? I can now. The questions that matter in life are remarkably few, and they are all answered by the words – “Come unto Me.” Not – Do this, or don't do that; but – “Come unto Me.” If I will come to Jesus my actual life will be brought into accordance with my real desires; I will actually cease from sin, and actually find the song of the Lord begin.

Have you ever come to Jesus? Watch the stubbornness of your heart, you will do anything rather than the one simple childlike thing – “Come unto Me.” If you want the actual experience of ceasing from sin, you must come to Jesus.

Jesus Christ makes Himself the touchstone. Watch how He used the word “Come.” At the most unexpected moments there is the whisper of the Lord – “Come unto Me,” and you are drawn immediately. Personal contact with Jesus alters everything. Be stupid enough to come and commit yourself to what He says. The attitude of coming is that the will resolutely lets go of everything and deliberately commits all to Him.

“. . . and I will give you rest,” i.e., I will stay you. Not – I will put you to bed and hold your hand and sing you to sleep; but – I will get you out of bed, out of the languor and exhaustion, out of the state of being half dead while you are alive; I will imbue you with the spirit of life, and you will be stayed by the perfection of vital activity. We get pathetic and talk about “suffering the will of the Lord!” Where is the majestic vitality and might of the Son of God about that?
