标 题： 被替换的生命
经 节： 我已经与基督同钉十字架，现在活着的不再是我，乃是基督在我里面活着；并且我如今在肉身活着，是因信神的儿子而活；祂是爱我，为我舍己。（加拉太书二章20节）
基督徒的生命是被替换的生命；以耶稣的生命换你原本的生命。当基督掌管你的生命，你会经历一些过于人所能测度的事，这些事惟有与神同行才可能发生。当你软弱的时候，基督的大能会覆庇你（哥林多后书十二：9～10）。当你处于困境、张皇不知所措的时候，只要祷告，那拥有无限智慧之神就会赐你智慧（雅各书一：5）。当你面对人所不能的处境时，在神却能（路加福音十八：27）。当你碰见一些不可爱的人，神能借着你涌流出祂无限的爱（约翰一书四：7）。当你茫然不知如何为某人祷告时，圣灵会在你祷告时引导你（罗马书八：16）。当基督掌管信徒生命的时候，“神一切所充满的”会充满那个信徒（知道神掌管你的生命，并且确知会有最好的结局，这自由实在太不可思议了﹗与其常常忧虑未来，倒不如不断地将生活每个层面交给神。将生活每个层面交给神，是你最大的挑战。我们所面对的试探，是想要插手做只有神能做的事。我们的任务是“常在葡萄树上”，并且让神借着我们去做只有祂能做的事（约翰福音十五：5）。惟有神是神。容许祂借着你活出祂神圣的生命，祂是独一真神。
An
Exchanged Life
I
have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives
in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of
God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)
The Christian life is an exchanged life.
Jesus’ life for your life. When Christ takes control, your life takes on
dimensions you would never have known apart from Him. When you are weak, then
Christ demonstrates His strength in your life (2 Cor. 12:9–10). When you face
situations that are beyond your comprehension, you have only to ask, and the
infinite wisdom of God is available to you (James 1:5). When you are faced with
humanly impossible situations, God does the impossible (Luke 18:27). When you
encounter people whom you find difficult to love, God expresses His
unconditional love through you (1 John 4:7). When you are at a loss as to what
you should pray for someone, the Spirit will guide you in your prayer life
(Rom. 8:16). When Christ takes up residence in the life of a believer, “all the
fullness of God” is available to that person (Eph. 3:19).
It is marvelously freeing to know that God
controls your life and knows what it can become. Rather than constantly
worrying about what you will face, your great challenge is to continually
release every area of your life to God’s control. The temptation will be to try
to do by yourself what only God can do. Our assignment is to “abide in the
vine” and to allow God to do in and through us what only He can do (John 15:5).
Only God can be God. Allow Him to live out His divine life through you. He is
the only One who can.
