9月28日 “去”的无条件认同

你还缺少一件,……你还要来跟从我。(可十21)

那年轻富有的官有股追求完美的热情,他一看见主耶稣,就想像他。主呼召门徒的时候,从不把个人的圣洁放在首位;他以自我主权的绝对降服、与他完全认同为先决条件--这是一种不夹杂别的关系的关系。路加福音十四章26节与救恩成圣完全无关,这经文是论到与主无条件的认同。很少人真认识降服于主的绝对一“去”不回。

“耶稣看着他就爱他。”被耶稣的目光触及意味着永远脱离其他任何人或物。他曾否看着你?主的目光改变人、抓住人。你向神特别柔顺的时候,一定是曾经被主目光看过。你若刚硬坚持己意,自以为义,把过错归咎别人,就表示你天性中仍有大部分未经主目光的注视而改变。

“你还缺少一件……”在主看来,唯一“善美”之事,就是与他联合,没有别的事物在中间阻隔。“变卖你所有的……”我必须放下自己,直到只剩下一个意识。我必须彻底舍弃一切,不是为灵魂得救(只有一件事可以救人--就是绝对仰望耶稣基督),乃是为跟从耶稣。“来跟从我。”这道路就是他当日所行的道路。

祈祷◆主啊,我完完全全地来到你面前。我感到自己全然地需要你,我只等候你向我说话,此外我还能向你说什么呢?正如沙漠的沙粒静卧在阳光之下,让我也在你面前坦然躺下。

September 28 The “Go” Of Unconditional Identification

“One thing thou lackest: . . come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” Mark 10:21

The rich young ruler had the master passion to be perfect. When he saw Jesus Christ, he wanted to be like Him. Our Lord never puts personal holiness to the fore when He calls a disciple; He puts absolute annihilation of my right to myself and identification with Himself – a relationship with Himself in which there is no other relationship. Luke 14:26 has nothing to do with salvation or sanctification, but with unconditional identification with Jesus Christ. Very few of us know the absolute “go” of abandonment to Jesus.

“Then Jesus beholding him loved him.” The look of Jesus will mean a heart broken for ever from allegiance to any other person or thing. Has Jesus ever looked at you? The look of Jesus transforms and transfixes. Where you are “soft” with God is where the Lord has looked at you. If you are hard and vindictive, insistent on your own way, certain that the other person is more likely to be in the wrong than you are, it is an indication that there are whole tracts of your nature that have never been transformed by His gaze.

“One thing thou lackest . . .” The only “good thing” from Jesus Christ's point of view is union with Himself and nothing in between.

“Sell whatsoever thou hast . .” I must reduce myself until I am a mere conscious man, I must fundamentally renounce possessions of all kinds, not to save my soul (only one thing saves a man – absolute reliance upon Jesus Christ) – but in order to follow Jesus. “Come, and follow Me.” And the road is the way He went.
