标 题: 道 路
经 节: 耶稣说:“我就是道路、真理、生命;若不借着我,没有人能到父那里去。”(约翰福音十四章6节)
如果每日与神同行,你不需要寻求神的旨意,因为你已行在其中。如果每日谨守顺服、与神同行,你总会行在神的旨意中。圣灵的职责是一步一步地引导你走在神的旨意之中。每日紧密地与神同行,保证你会正确地走在神要你走的路上。若完全拒绝圣灵的能力在你身上运行,你可能会离开神的旨意。
门徒从来不需要问耶稣自己接下来要往哪里去。他们只要看耶稣往那儿去,跟着走就对了!耶稣是他们的“道路”。只要拥有耶稣,他们不需要地图。我们常常宁愿自己拥有一份将来的地图,而不要依靠与“道路”的关系。运行一个计画,似乎比培养一份情谊,要容易得多。我们可能会十分关心自己的未来,而忽视今日与神同行。
耶稣永远不会给你一个代替品来替代祂。祂是到达天父那儿惟一的道路。这就是清楚明白神对你说的话,是那么重要的原因了(以赛亚书三十:21)。如果已经迷失方向,你不会了解神所启示的新作为。如果想要知道神的旨意,花时间培养与耶稣的关系,并且学习分辨祂的声音。祂十分乐意指引你前面的道路。
The Way
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)
If you are walking daily with the Lord, you will not have to find God’s
will—you will already be in it. If you are walking with Him in obedience day by
day, you will always be in the will of God. The Holy Spirit’s role is to guide
you step by step to do God’s will. Walking closely with God each day guarantees
that you will be exactly where He wants you to be. You would have to reject all
of the Holy Spirit’s activity in your life in order to get out of the will of
God.
The disciples never had to ask Jesus where they should go next. They
simply looked to see where Jesus was going and stayed close to Him! Jesus was
their “way.” They didn’t need a map as long as they had Jesus. Too often, we
would prefer a road map of our future rather than a relationship with the Way.
It often seems easier to follow a plan than to cultivate a relationship. We can
become more concerned with our future than we are with walking intimately with
God today.
Jesus will never give you a substitute for Himself. He is the only way
to the Father. That’s why it is critical that you clearly know when God is
speaking to you (Isa. 30:21). If you are disoriented to how God speaks, you
will not understand when He is giving you a new revelation about what He is
doing. If you want to know God’s will, take time to cultivate your relationship
with Jesus and learn to identify His voice. He is more than willing to show you
the way.
