标 题：门徒训练即基督在你们心里
经 节：神愿意叫他们知道，这奥秘在外邦人中有何等丰盛的荣耀，就是基督在你们心里成了有荣耀的盼望。（歌罗西书一章27节）
在创世之初，天父的计画是将祂永生的爱子放进每位信徒的心里。如果你是基督徒，所有神的丰盛都住在你的心里。基督的生命成为你的生命。当基督住在你们的心里，在祂里面带来所有神的资源。每当你面对需要，你与住在你心里的那位钉死于十字架上、复活、得胜的宇宙之主一起面对。当神邀请你与祂同工，祂已经将祂的爱子放在你的心中，祂能借着你的生命实行祂的计画。
基督住在你心里与你的基督徒生活有密切的关连。门徒训练的内容远比头脑得到圣经知识和背诵经文多得多。让耶稣基督掌管你的生命是学习而来。让祂完全掌管你的生命，祂才能借着你彰显祂的生命。你最大的困难是，相信自己与基督的关系是你基督徒生命的重心。当周遭的人看到你正面对危机，他们是否看到那位复活主的反应？耶稣基督的同在为你的生命带来了什么改变？
神要借着施展在你身上的大能，显明自己给你周围的人看。祂要你的家人每一天都可以看到基督内驻你心。祂要借着你的生命彰显祂的大爱。“过基督徒的生活”和允许基督借着你活出祂的生命，是大不相同的。
Discipleship Is Christ in You
To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27)
The heavenly Father’s plan from the beginning of time was to place His eternal Son in every believer. If you are a Christian, all the fullness of God dwells in you. Christ’s life becomes your life. When Christ lives in you, He brings every divine resource with Him. Every time you face a need, you meet it with the presence of the crucified, risen, and triumphant Lord of the universe inhabiting you. When God invites you to become involved in His work, He has already placed His Son in you so that He can carry out His assignment through your life.
This has significant implications for your Christian life. Discipleship is more than acquiring head knowledge and memorizing Scripture verses. It is learning to give Jesus Christ total access to your life so He will live His life through you. Your greatest difficulty will be believing that your relationship with Christ is at the heart of your Christian life. When others watch you face a crisis, do they see the risen Lord responding? Does your family see the difference Christ makes when you face a need? What difference does the presence of Jesus Christ make in your life?
God wants to reveal Himself to those around you by working mightily through you. He wants your family to see Christ in you each day. God wants to express His love through your life. There is a great difference between “living the Christian life” and allowing Christ to live His life through you.
