唯独基督
到我这里来。（太十一28）
要我到耶稣那里去，岂非卑躬屈膝？试想想有什么事令我们不想到耶稣那里去。若想知道自己的真面目，可以用“到我这里来”这句话考一考自己。你若有任何不真诚，都会千方百计争辩，不肯到主那里去；你会逃避，不肯去；你宁可吃苦也不去；你宁可作任何事，也不愿走这最后一程自认完全无知的路－－“依我本相到主跟前”。只要你仍有一丁点儿属灵的自负，总会期望神叫你做大事，而他只叫你到他那里去。
“到我这里来。”听见这句话时，便知道你未去他那里以前，某些事情必然发生。圣灵会指示你所当作的，叫你从根本的问题上下斧，除掉那阻路的东西。你不去解决，就无法再前进。圣灵会指出死结所在，但他不能强行解开，他要你自己甘愿去解开。
多少时候，你来到神面前祈求，觉得这一次总可以成就了，可是每次都空手而回。其实神一直张开手等待你，要得着你，也要你得着他。想想主耶稣那无法淹没、无可抗拒、不厌其烦的忍耐－－“到我这里来”。
祈祷◆噢，主啊，诗人的话对我何其真实－－“我的性命几乎归于尘土。”我的灵魂铺满了尘土，主啊，求你按照你的话语激发我。言语借着你的灵而得着生机，它所带来的生命将是何等完美！主啊，愿你现在便发声。

8 The Exclusiveness Of Christ
“Come
unto Me.” Matthew 11:28
Is it not
humiliating to be told that we must come to Jesus! Think of the things we will
not come to Jesus Christ about. If you want to know how real you are, test
yourself by these words – “Come unto Me.” In every degree in which you are not
real, you will dispute rather than come, you will quibble rather than come, you
will go through sorrow rather than come, you will do anything rather than come
the last lap of unutterable foolishness – “Just as I am.” As long as you have the
tiniest bit of spiritual impertinence, it will always reveal itself in the fact
that you are expecting God to tell you to do a big thing, and all He is telling
you to do is to “come.”
“Come unto
Me.” When you hear those words you will know that something must happen in you
before you can come. The Holy Spirit will show you what you have to do,
anything at all that will put the axe at the root of the thing which is
preventing you from getting through. You will never get further until you are
willing to do that one thing. The Holy Spirit will locate the one impregnable
thing in you, but He cannot budge it unless you are willing to let Him.
How often
have you come to God with your requests and gone away with the feeling – Oh,
well, I have done it this time! And yet you go away with nothing, whilst all
the time God has stood with outstretched hands not only to take you, but for
you to take Him. Think of the invincible, unconquerable, unwearying patience of
Jesus – “Come unto Me.”
