奴仆救主福音服事的行动（二）

The Move of the Slave-Savior’s Gospel Service (2)
1读经：马可福音六章一至四十四节。我们在本篇信息来到马可六章一至四十四节。在这一段里，我们看见四件事：奴仆救主受人藐视，（1～，）差遣门徒，（7～13，）先锋殉道，（14～29，）以及食饱五千。（30～44。）
1Scripture Reading: Mark 6:1-44 We come in this message to 6:1-44. In this section of the Gospel of Mark we have four matters: the Slave- Savior being despised by the Nazarenes (vv. 1-6), the sending forth of the twelve to preach (vv. 7-13), the 6 martyrdom of the forerunner of the gospel (6:14-29), and the feeding of the five thousand (vv. 30-44).
2六章一至四十四节好像不那么著重的讲到生命。这里所记载的四件事，对我们来说，好像仅仅是一些故事。然而，我们相信这段记载是神所呼出之圣经的一部分。当然，本章是马可写的；但这是一段神所默示的话。所以我们需要仰望神赐给我们洞察力，使我们能进入这段记载的深处。
2As we read 6:1-44, it may appear that this section is not impressive concerning the matter of life. It may seem to us that the four incidents recorded here are merely stories. However, we believe that this record is part of the holy Scriptures breathed out by God. Of course, this chapter was written by Mark. Nevertheless, it is an inspired portion of the Word of God. Therefore, we need to look to the Lord for insight in order that we may get into the depths of such a record
一幅被人弃绝的图画
A PICTURE OF REJECTION
3首先，主在六章一至六节遭拿撒勒人藐视与弃绝。祂虽然被人弃绝，但实际上，祂没有受搅扰，也没有失望。祂虽然因著他们弃绝祂，而离开他们，但这并不是说，祂失望了，也不是说要放弃他们。奴仆救主要为拿撒勒人作些事，但他们不愿意向祂敞开。马可六章五节说，『耶稣在那里就不能行甚么异能，不过按手在几个病人身上，治好他们。』拿撒勒人的不信，使主不能在他们中间行许多异能。主没有因拿撒勒人弃绝祂而失望沮丧，祂反而得到鼓励。这可由六章七至十三节祂差遣十二门徒照样去作的这个事实得到证明。祂特别『赐给他们权柄，制伏污灵』。（7。）主选立十二门徒，去作祂所作的。六章十四至二十九节记述福音的先锋施浸者约翰殉道了。就人来说，这事必定非常叫人失望；但事实上，主耶稣并没有因施浸者约翰殉道而失望。约翰殉道以后，接著就是主𫗪养并食饱五千的事例。犹太人在祂的家乡弃绝祂，并没有使祂失望，反而鼓励祂差遣门徒出去。照样，祂的先锋殉道，也没有使祂失望，反而鼓励祂𫗪养更多的人。
3First, in 6:1-6 the Lord was despised and rejected by the Nazarenes. Actually, this rejection did not disturb Him or disappoint Him. Even though He left them because of their rejection of Him, this does not mean that He was disappointed or that He gave them up. The Slave-Savior wanted to do something for the Nazarenes, but they would not open to Him. Mark 6:5 says, “And He could not do any work of power there, except to lay His hands upon a few sick people and heal them.” The unbelief of the Nazarenes kept the Lord from doing many works of power among them. Instead of being discouraged and disappointed by the rejection of the Nazarenes, the Lord was encouraged. This is proved by the fact that in 6:7-13 He sent out the twelve to do the same thing He was doing. In particular, “He gave them authority over the unclean spirits” (v. 7). The Lord appointed the twelve to do what He was doing. In 6:14-29 we have the martyrdom of the forerunner of the gospel, John the Baptist. Humanly speaking, this must have been very disappointing. Actually, the Lord Jesus was not disappointed even by the martyrdom of John the Baptist. Following John’s martyrdom, we have the case of the Lord’s feeding and satisfying the five thousand. The rejection of the Jews in His country did not disappoint Him; rather, that rejection encouraged Him to send out His disciples. Likewise, the martyrdom of His forerunner did not disappoint Him; instead, it encouraged Him to feed more people.
4我们在四章三十五节至五章四十三节看见，神的国怎样应付人的需要。正如我们所指出的，马可福音这一段描绘人类社会的光景。人类社会中，几乎每一个人，都充满了背叛的『风暴』、污鬼、不洁的事业（放猪）、致命的疾病与死亡。这就是人类的真实光景。然而，奴仆救主把国度带给我们，而国度正是堕落人类光景的解答。国度征服了背叛，赶出了污鬼，清除了不洁净的事业，医治了病人，同时也叫死人复活。在四章三十五节至五章四十三节，我们看见神的国如何应付人类社会的需要。这是一幅何等美妙的图画！马可在六章一至四十四节陈明一幅不同的图画。我们在这幅图画中看见弃绝、仇恨与殉道。无论国度与传讲福音带来多少的祝福，这世界还是恨恶、弃绝奴仆救主和祂的同工。所以，我们在六章一至四十四节看见世人对福音的态度。我们面临这种态度该怎么办？当我们被人藐视、弃绝、恨恶，甚至有人遇害之时，该怎么办？我们应该灰心失望么？我们要停下来，不再传福音，不再为国度作工了么？我们绝不该如此！我们不单不要灰心失望，反而要因世人对福音的消极态度而更得鼓励。
4In 4:35—5:43 we saw how the kingdom of God meets the need of the human condition. As we pointed out, the situation of human society is portrayed in this section of the Gospel of Mark. Human society, and every individual human being as well, is full of “storms” of rebellion, demons, unclean industry (hog raising), death-sickness, and death. This is the actual situation of mankind. But the Slave-Savior has brought the kingdom to us, and the kingdom is the answer to the condition of fallen man. The kingdom subdues rebellion, the kingdom casts out demons, the kingdom clears up the unclean industry, the kingdom heals the sick, and the kingdom raises the dead. In 4:35—5:43 we see a demonstration of the kingdom of God meeting the needs of human society. What a wonderful picture this is! In 6:1-44 Mark presents a different picture. In this picture we see rejection, hatred, and martyrdom. No matter how much blessing is brought in by the kingdom and the preaching of the gospel, the world still hates and rejects the Slave-Savior and those who work together with Him. In 6:1-44, therefore, we see the attitude of the worldly people toward the gospel. What shall we do in the face of such an attitude? What should we do when we are despised, rejected, and hated, and when some are even killed? Should we be disappointed? Should we stop preaching the glad tidings and cease from our work for the kingdom? Certainly not! Instead of being disappointed, we should be encouraged by the negative attitude shown by the worldly people toward the gospel
受人藐视
despised by the Nazarenes
5主带来国度的祝福，作了这美妙的工作以后，紧接著就来到自己的家乡。马可六章一节说，『耶稣离开那里，来到自己的家乡，门徒也跟著祂。』二至三节表明祂遭受拿撒勒人的藐视与弃绝：『到了安息日，祂在会堂里施教；许多人听见，就甚惊讶，说，这人从那里得来这些事？所赐给祂的是甚么样的智慧！这样的异能竟然经祂的手行出来！这不是那木匠么？不是马利亚的儿子，雅各、约西、犹大、西门的长兄么？祂妹妹们不也是在我们这里么？他们就因祂绊跌。』我们在这里看见，拿撒勒人认识奴仆救主，是按著肉体，不是照著灵。（林后五16。）他们为自己天然的知识所蒙蔽。
5Immediately after the Lord did the wonderful work of bringing in the blessings of the kingdom, He came to His own country. Mark 6:1 says, “And He went out from there and came into His own country, and His disciples followed Him.” Verses 2 and 3 indicate that He was despised and rejected by the Nazarenes: “And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue; and many hearing were astounded, saying, Where did this man get these things? And what wisdom is given to this man! And such works of power take place through His hands! Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us? And they were stumbled in Him.” Here we see that the Nazarenes knew the Slave-Savior according to the flesh, not according to the Spirit (2 Cor. 5:16). They were blinded by their natural knowledge.
6主耶稣接著对他们说，『申言者除了在本地、亲属并本家之外，没有不被人尊敬的。』（可六4。）这句话指明甚至主自己的家人可能也随别人一同来藐视、弃绝祂。
6The Lord Jesus then said to them, “A prophet is not dishonored except in his own country and among his relatives and in his own house” (v. 4). This word indicates that probably even some of the Lord’sown household joined in with the others to despise and reject Him
豫言的应验
A Fulfillment of Prophecy
7这里瞎眼藐视者的话，可视为以赛亚五十三章二至三节关于奴仆救主豫言的应验；那里说，祂『像根出于干地；祂无佳形美容，我们看见祂的时候，也无美貌使我们羡慕祂。祂被藐视，被人厌弃』。这是按著祂的人性，照著肉体认识祂，（林后五16，）不是按著祂的神性，照著那灵认识祂。（罗一4。）在祂的人性里，祂是出于干地的根，是从耶西的不发出的枝条，是从他的根生出的枝子，（赛十一1，）是大卫的苗裔；（耶二三5，三三15；）这苗裔是一个人，也是耶和华的仆人，（亚三8，六12，）按肉体说，是从大卫后裔生的。（罗一3。）在祂的神性里，祂是耶和华的苗裔，有华美和尊荣，（赛四2，）按那灵说，是以大能标出为神儿子的。（罗一4。）
7The word of the blind despisers here may be considered a fulfillment of the prophecy concerning the Slave-Savior in Isaiah 53:2 and 3: “As a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men.” This was to know Him according to the flesh in His humanity, not according to the Spirit in His deity (Rom. 1:4). In His humanity He was a root out of dry ground, a shoot out of the stump of Jesse, and a Branch out of his roots (Isa. 11:1), a Branch unto David (Jer. 23:5; 33:15), the Branch who was a Man and the Servant of Jehovah (Zech. 3:8; 6:12), out of the seed of David according to the flesh (Rom. 1:3). In His deity He was the Branch of Jehovah for beauty and glory (Isa. 4:2), the Son of God marked out in power according to the Spirit (Rom. 1:4
身分低微的人
A Person of Low Status
8惟有马可福音才称主耶稣是木匠。弃绝祂的人问说，『这不是那木匠么？』他们轻蔑的使用木匠这辞。他们因祂的教导、智慧、和异能而惊讶。但他们把祂当作身分低微的人。用今天的话说，他们可能是希奇祂到底有甚么资格，有甚么学位。六章三节的『绊跌』指明拿撒勒人弃绝奴仆救主。他们为甚么因祂绊跌？他们因祂绊跌，虽然一方面他们听见祂口中所出美妙的言语，并且看见祂所行的奇妙作为；然而另一方面，他们认为祂没有高尚的身分、高等的学位。他们看祂仅仅是一个木匠，所以，他们因祂绊跌，并且藐视祂。
8Only in the Gospel of Mark is the Lord Jesus called a carpenter. Those who rejected Him asked, “Is not this the carpenter?” They used the word “carpenter” in a despising manner. They were astounded by His teaching, by His wisdom, and by His works of power. But they regarded Him as a person of low status. In today’s terms, they might have wondered what qualifications He had, what kind of degree He had. The word “stumbled” in 6:3 indicates that the Nazarenes rejected the Slave - Savior. Why were they stumbled in Him? They were stumbled in Him because, on the one hand, they heard wonderful words out of His mouth and saw some of His marvelous deeds, and yet, on the other hand, they considered that He did not have a high status or degree. They saw Him as one who was merely a carpenter. Therefore, they were stumbled in Him, and they despised Him.
9今天，原则也是一样。许多基督徒在意人的身分或学位，并且急切关注这类的事。几年前，我与一位善于自吹自擂的传道人谈话。他问我，我们中间有多少人拥有博士学位？这个问题我没有答覆。我的缄默表明，我们不在乎召会中有多少人拥有博士学位。这个人就夸口他的团体有多少人有博士学位。这说明今天的基督徒多么在意身分与学位。在许多拥有神学博士学位的人中间，经历活的基督的人却不多；也没有人得著彀多基督的丰富，也不太认识神话语中深处的真理。相反的，他们对圣经的了解可能非常肤浅。
9The principle is the same today. Many Christians care about status or the degrees of others and are eager to look into such things. Some years ago I had a talk with a certain preacher who was promoting himself very much. He asked me how many among us have a doctoral degree. I did not say anything in answer to this question. My silence was an indication that we are not concerned about how many of the church members have a doctoral degree. This man went on to boast of the number of people in his group who had a Ph.D. This is an illustration of the concern of today’s Christians for status and degrees. Many of those who have a doctoral degree in theology do not have much experience of the living Christ. Neither do they have much of the riches of Christ or the knowledge of the depths of the truths in the Word of God. Their understanding of the Bible, on the contrary, may be very superficial.
基督的丰富与深奥的真理
The Riches of Christ and the Depths of the Truth
10我们在马可六章看见主耶稣是木匠。祂没有学位，也没有高尚的身分，但祂的确有三一神的丰富，祂也知道圣经中深奥的真理。祂的听众甚为惊讶祂对圣经的认识。第六章的记载应该使我们自问，我们到底要甚么，我们到底重看甚么？我们要高深的学位或高尚的社会身分么？我们在主的恢复里，所要的乃是耶稣，乃是基督的丰富。我们不要圣经肤浅的道理，我们要神话语里神圣真理深奥的事。我们愿意跟随主耶稣，把三一神的丰富服事给人，并把圣经里神圣真理深奥的事陈明给他们。这是我们所要的，也是我们所愿意作的。我们不要以为我们有了基督的丰富，认识真理的深处，别人就会欢迎我们。不，现在不是主的真理在地上受欢迎的时代。相反的，这是主和祂的门徒受藐视与弃绝的时代。
10In chapter six of the Gospel of Mark we see the Lord Jesus as a carpenter. He did not have a degree or a high status. But He certainly had the riches of the Triune God, and He also knew the depths of the truth in the Scriptures. His hearers were greatly surprised at His knowledge of the Bible. The record in chapter six should cause us to ask ourselves what we want and what we value. Do we want an advanced degree or a high social status? In the Lord’s recovery we want Jesus, and we want the riches of Christ. Instead of the mere superficial doctrines in the Bible, we want the depths of the divine truths in the Word of God. We would like to follow the Lord Jesus in ministering the riches of the Triune God to people and in presenting to them the depths of the divine truth in the holy Scriptures. This is what we want, and this is what we desire to do. We should not think that if we have the riches of Christ and the depths of the truth, we shall be welcomed. No, this is not the age when the Lord’st ruth is welcomed on earth. On the contrary, this is an age when the Lord and His disciples are despised and rejected
11主耶稣是无可比拟的，祂有三一神的丰富，也认识真理的深处。但无论祂多丰富，祂对圣经的真理多认识，祂并没有受人欢迎，反倒被人藐视、弃绝。
11No one can compare with the Lord Jesus. He had the riches of the Triune God, and He had the depths of the truth. But no matter how rich He was or how much He knew the truth in the holy Scriptures, He was despised and rejected instead of welcomed.
12虽然主给我们看见祂话语中神圣真理深奥的事，但我们这班在主恢复里的人并不受欢迎。那些对圣经真理一知半解的人，总是率先弃绝我们，反对我们所传的。有些人甚至诽谤我们。其中有一项诽谤，是说我们是多神论者，相信宇宙的一切都是神。还有人指控我们是邪教异端。虽然我们被诽谤、藐视和弃绝，我却不失望，反而得到鼓舞。当主被弃绝时，祂却差遣十二人出去。我们相信，我们越被弃绝，主恢复里的圣徒就越出去传福音、陈明真理并供应生命。
12Although the Lord has shown us something of the depths of the divine truth in the Word, we in the Lord’s recovery are not welcomed. Often those who have only a superficial knowledge of biblical truth take the lead to reject us and oppose what we are presenting. Some have gone so far as to make false accusations against us. One of these false accusations is that we are pantheistic, that we believe that everything in the universe is God. Others have accused us of being cultic or heretical. But even though we are falsely accused, despised, and rejected, I am not disappointed. Rather, I am encouraged. When the Lord Jesus was rejected, He sent out the twelve. We believe that the more we are rejected, the more the saints in the Lord’s recovery will go forth to preach the gospel, present the truth, and minister life.
差遣门徒
THE SENDING OUT OF THE TWELVE TO PREACH
13我们在六章七至十三节看见十二门徒奉差遣出去传道。七节说，主叫了十二个门徒来，差遣他们两个两个的出去。十二至十三节说，『门徒就出去，传道叫人悔改，又赶出许多鬼，用油抹了许多病人，治好他们。』我们在这里看见，十二门徒奉差遣出去作三件事：传道、赶鬼、用油抹病人并治好他们。藉著陈明真理赶鬼
13In 6:7-13 we have the sending out of the twelve to preach. According to verse 7, the Lord called the twelve to Him and sent them out two by two. Verses 12 and 13 say, “And they went forth and preached that men should repent; and they cast out many demons, and anointed many sick with oil and healed them.” Here we see that the twelve were sent out to do three things: preach, cast out demons, and anoint the sick and heal them. Casting Out Demons by Presenting the Truth
14我们思考十二个门徒奉差遣出去作的三件事，就能看见这些与传讲福音、陈明真理、供应生命三件事互相呼应。第一件事是传讲福音，很明显是相同的，毋庸赘述。然而，我们需要来看赶鬼与陈明真理的关联。假定你告诉某人：『你被鬼附了，我要来赶鬼。』你如果这样说，没有人会听你的话。原则上，今天赶鬼最好的路就是陈明神话语的真理。如果你跟不信主的人谈话，你可以把基督身位与工作的真理陈明给他。如果你跟基督徒谈话，可以把基督徒生活一项特别的真理陈明给他。譬如，你可以陈明变化的真理。你陈明的时候，可以说，『我们一起来读林后三章十八节。』然后，就读这一节：『我们众人既然以没有帕子遮蔽的脸，好像镜子观看并返照主的荣光，就渐渐变化成为与祂同样的形像，从荣耀到荣耀，乃是从主灵变化成的。』你读过这一节以后，可以有简短的交通，陈明变化的真理。一位有心追求的真基督徒，会被所陈明的真理吸引住。
14As we consider the three things the twelve were sent forth to do, we shall realize that they correspond to the three matters of preaching the gospel, presenting the truth, and ministering life. The first item—preaching the gospel—is clearly the same and does not require further comment here. However, we need to see the connection between the casting out of demons and the presenting of the truth. Suppose you say to a person, “You are possessed by demons, and I have come to cast out these demons.” If you talk like this, no one will listen to you. In principle, the best way to cast out demons today is to present the truth from the Word of God. If you are talking with an unbeliever, you may present the truth concerning the Person and work of Christ. If you are speaking with a Christian, you may present to him a particular truth concerning the Christian life. For example, you may present the truth of transformation. In presenting this truth, you may say, “Let us read together 2 Corinthians 3:18.” Then read this verse: “We all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting as a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit.” After reading this verse, you may share a brief word in which you present the truth of transformation. Surely a genuine, seeking Christian will be attracted by the presentation of such a truth
15陈明真理就是赶鬼。今天的社会充满了鬼，这些鬼可以比作细菌。我们要陈明真理作药物，来遏止鬼『细菌』的蔓衍。我们需要陈明的真理，不仅是生命长大与生命变化的真理，甚至也是初阶救恩的真理。我知道有些基督教书籍多多少少有些神圣的丰富，然而大部分的丰富都被埋没或隐藏起来。信徒们很少会去接触；结果，今天基督徒中间，一般属灵的光景是贫穷可怜的。譬如，许多真基督徒不晓得变化是甚么意思，他们从来没有听过变化的真理。照样，许多人不晓得圣别的真义。他们从来没有听过，真实的圣别有两面：地位的一面和性质的一面。这些信徒对于圣别也许只有一般性的了解，但事实上，他们不晓得圣别到底是甚么意思。
15To present the truth is to cast out demons. Today’s society is filled with demons. These demons can be compared to germs. We need to present the truth as the medication to stop the spread of the “germs” of the demons. We need to present the truth not only of the growth in life and of transformation by life, but even the truth of initial salvation. I realize that in certain Christian books there is some amount of divine riches. But for the most part these riches have been buried or concealed. Rarely have they been touched by believers. The result is that the general situation among Christians today is spiritual poverty. For instance, many genuine Christians do not know what it means to be transformed. They have never heard the truth concerning transformation. Likewise, many do not know the real significance of sanctification. They have not heard that genuine sanctification has two aspects: the positional aspect and the dispositional aspect. These believers may have only a general understanding of sanctification. They actually do not know what it means to be sanctified
16有一位神学家曾说，基督不在信徒里面，而是由圣灵作代表在他们里面，这是他们在神圣真理上贫穷的例证。按照这人的观念，圣灵是基督在信徒里面的代表，这样的教导与圣经的真理偏离很远。这说明今天的『鬼魔』何等猖狂！霸占人的心思并遮蔽他们的悟性。我们面对这种光景要怎么办？我们要把主在祂的恢复里所给我们看见的一切真理，当作药物推广出去，并且把这些真理当作针对鬼魔细菌的『解毒剂』陈明出来。我们能作见证，主从圣经所给我们看见的真理，都是有效的药物，能杀死各类细菌。现在我们要出去把圣经的真理正确的向人陈明。当我们向人陈明真理时，我们要有智慧。我们不可以说，『你的细菌太多了，我们带药品来杀菌。』你如果这样告诉人，毫无疑问，他们一定会起来反对你。
16One example of the poverty with respect to the divine truth is the statement, made by a certain theologian, that Christ is not actually in the believers, but is represented in them by the Holy Spirit. According to this man’s concept, the Holy Spirit is Christ’s representative in the believers. This kind of teaching is far away from the truth of the Scriptures. This is an illustration of how today’s “demons” are prevailing, possessing peoples’ minds and covering their understanding. What shall we do about such a situation? We need to spread as a medication all the truths the Lord has shown us in His recovery and present these truths as an “antidote” to the demonic germs. We can testify that every truth that the Lord has shown us from the Word is a useful medicine to kill these germs. Now in a proper way we need to go forth to present these biblical truths to others. As we present the truth to others, we need to be wise. We should not say, “You have many germs, and we have come with the medicine that will kill these germs.” If you speak to others like this, no doubt they will rise up against you.
17医生每次都把病情完全告诉人，是不智慧的。我们不必告诉人，说他们有细菌，反要简简单单的，将真理的药品作为滋养的灵粮摆出来，好叫他们接受并享受。他们既接受了这种健康的粮食，当然就会接受他们所需要的药物，来对付他们里面的细菌。让我们以圣别的真理来说明。你也许对一位信徒说，『你知道照新约来看，圣别有两面么？圣经有地位上的圣别和性质上的圣别。』你如果正确的陈明圣别的真理，别人就会接受。他们或者会说，『对！你告诉我的是真的。我相信主耶稣时，地位上是圣别了。但是我如今看见，我在性质方面还没有相当的圣别。就我的性质而论，我还没有圣别，我在许多方面都很庸俗平凡。』让我们学习作好的『侍应生』，就是一班以真理这滋养的食物供应别人的人。我们要学习巧妙的陈明圣经的真理。以今天的情形来看，赶鬼的路就是陈明真理。
17It may not always be wise for a medical doctor to tell his patient the full diagnosis. Instead of telling others that they have germs, we should simply present the medicine of the truth to them in the form of nourishing spiritual food that they will receive and enjoy. As they take in this healthy food, they will receive the medicine they need to deal with the germs within them. Let us use the truth concerning sanctification as an illustration. You may say to a fellow believer, “Do you realize that according to the New Testament sanctification has two aspects? In the Bible we have positional sanctification and dispositional sanctification.” If you present the truth concerning sanctification properly, others will be receptive. They may say, “Yes, what you are telling me is true. When I believed in the Lord Jesus, I was sanctified positionally. Now I see that dispositionally I have not been sanctified very much. As far as my disposition is concerned, I am not yet holy; instead, in many aspects I am common.” Let us all learn to be good “waiters,” those who serve others with the nourishing food of the truth. Let us learn to be skillful in presenting the biblical truths. In today’s situation, the way to cast out demons is to present the truth.
藉著供应生命，用油抹病人
Anointing the Sick by Ministering Life
18我们都看见，凡是在主恢复里的人都该出去传扬福音，陈明真理，并供应生命。我们看见，陈明真理就是赶鬼。现在我们要接著来看，供应生命给人相当于用油抹病人，并治好他们。
18We have seen that all those in the Lord’s recovery should go forth to preach the gospel, present the truth, and minister life. We have seen that to present the truth is to cast out demons. Now we need to go on to see that to minister life to others is equal to anointing the sick with oil and healing them
19许多基督徒因著缺乏营养，而灵命有病。那么，我们要怎样滋养他们？滋养他们最佳的路就是向他们见证我们对基督的经历。我们为自己属灵的经历作真实的见证，这就是最佳的粮食。我们向人作见证就是用油抹他们。今天真正的需要不在于外面的按手，就如灵恩派或五旬节运动中许多人所作的。我们所需要的是见证我们对基督的经历。你可以见证你如何得救、被主所夺，主怎样满足你，你怎样天天经历祂、享受祂。人藉著这种见证，就会得著丰富的膏油涂抹。藉著这膏抹，人就会得到属灵的滋养与医治。所以，供应生命给人就是用我们的见证滋养并涂抹他们。三一神成为我们每天的享受我们都需要更多经历、享受主。然后还要向人见证我们所享受的。
19Many of our fellow Christians are spiritually sick because of the lack of nourishment. How can we nourish them? The best way to nourish them is to give them a testimony of our experience of Christ. A genuine testimony of our spiritual experience will be the best food. Our testifying to others is also our anointing of them. The real need today is not the outward laying on of hands, as practiced among many in the charismatic or Pentecostal movement. The need is for us to testify of our experience of Christ. You may testify how you have been saved and captured by the Lord, how the Lord satisfies you, and how you experience and enjoy Him day by day. Through this kind of testimony others will receive a rich anointing. Through this anointing they will be nourished and healed in a spiritual way. Therefore, to minister life to others is to nourish them and anoint them with our testimony. The Triune God Becoming Our Daily Enjoyment We all need more experience of the enjoyment of the Lord. Then we need to testify to others of our enjoyment.
20对许多基督徒来说，『享受主』这思想实在不可思议。好多人从来没有听过我们可以享受主。他们也许会说，『你享受主，这是甚么意思？神又伟大，又有大能，我们怎能随便说我们可以享受祂？』你不必为这一点争辩，只要向他们见证三一神如何作了你每天的享受。这样的见证会涂抹、滋养、𫗪养他们。我们都得跟随主和十二个门徒传扬福音、赶鬼、并治好病人。我希望我们都能出去传福音，藉著陈明真理赶鬼，并藉著作见证用油涂抹人并治好他们。这样，我们就可以𫗪养他们，用油涂抹他们，并供应生命给他们。
20To many Christians, the thought of enjoying the Lord may sound strange. Many have never heard that it is possible for the Lord to be enjoyed by us. They may say, “What do you mean that you enjoy the Lord? God is great and mighty. How can we presume to enjoy Him?” Instead of arguing about this, simply give others a testimony of how the Triune God has become your daily enjoyment. Such a testimony will anoint them, nourish them, and feed them. We all should follow the Lord and the twelve to preach the gospel, cast out demons, and heal the sick. I hope that we all shall go forth to preach, cast out demons by presenting the truth, and anoint and heal others by giving them our testimony. In this way, we shall feed others, anoint them, and minister life to them
