5本篇信息叫作『圣民在与基督的联合里,对神更深的经历』,我们要来看九十至九十二篇。我们读这些诗篇时,需要寻求其中所启示关于对神更深的经历,以及与基督的联合。九十篇开头说到神是我们的居所:『主阿,你世世代代是我们的居所。』毫无疑问,圣经是惟一说到神能作我们居所的书。四十二篇一节说到切慕神,如鹿切慕溪水。在传扬福音时,我们也许告诉人,他们能喝、吃、并吸入主耶稣,但你曾否题到,他们能住在主里面?住在主里面比喝祂更深。我们许多人进入召会生活以后,到能见证喝、吃、并吸入基督,但你曾有住在基督里的思想么?诗篇不是关于善恶的书。诗篇是关于基督的书-关于喝基督、吃基督、吸入基督、并住在基督里的书。基督是活水,解我们的干渴。在三十六篇,神乐河的水是给我们喝的,神殿里的肥甘是给我们吃的。我们能喝、吃、并吸入主。如今在九十篇我们看见,我们也能住在主里面。
5In this message, entitled “The Saints’ Deeper Experience of God in the Identification with Christ,” we will consider Psalms 90 through 92. As we read these psalms, we need to seek what they reveal about the deeper experience of God and about the identification with Christ. Psalm 90 opens with a word concerning God as our dwelling place: “O Lord, You have been our dwelling place / In all generations.” To be sure, the Bible is the only book that tells us that God can be our dwelling place. Psalm 42:1 speaks of panting after God as a hart pants after streams of water. In preaching the gospel, we may tell others that they can drink, eat, and breathe the Lord Jesus, but have you ever told others that they can dwell in the Lord? Dwelling in the Lord is deeper than drinking Him. Many of us, after coming into the church life, can testify of drinking, eating, and breathing Christ, but have you ever had the thought of dwelling in Christ? Psalms is not a book on good and evil. Psalms is a book on Christ—a book on drinking Christ, eating Christ, breathing Christ, and dwelling in Christ. Christ is the living water to quench our thirst. In Psalm 36 the river of God’s pleasures is for our drinking, and the fatness of God’sho use is for our eating. We can drink, eat, and breathe the Lord. Now in Psalm 90 we see that we can also dwell in the Lord
