主，使我们照着你在你经纶里的愿望，领会并解释神圣的启示。主，这是我们所需要的，不只是现在，也是我们一生之久的需要！ |
| |
与你合一，恩主耶稣， |
与你合一在灵里； |
| |
凡你所是都活我里， |
我今得享你自己。 |
| |
合为一，合为一， |
我与你合为一； |
| |
你的丰富是我供给， |
我的一切全是你。 |

|
你们要住在我里面，我也住在你们里面。枝子若不住在葡萄树上，自己就不能结果子，你们若不住在我里面，也是这样。
我是葡萄树，你们是枝子；住在我里面的，我也住在他里面，这人就多结果子；因为离了我，你们就不能作什么。
你们若住在我里面，我的话也住在你们里面，凡你们所愿意的，祈求就给你们成就。

在［约翰］十五章一至十一节，我们看见葡萄树和枝子是一个生机体，彰显神圣生命的丰富以荣耀父。
组织和生机体有甚么区别？例如，一张桌子是一个组织，因为是由许多木块组合形成的一个实体。为甚么桌子是组织，不是生机体？因为桌子这一个单位没有生机。
桌子没有生机，因为其中没有生命。表面看来，我们的身体也是一个组织；然而，它比组织多得多，因为我们有生机，也有生命。既然我们的身体有生机和生命，它
就是一个生机体，而不仅仅是一个组织。照样，召会，基督的身体，乃是一个生机体。
在约翰十五章，这生机体被比喻为葡萄树。葡萄树被用来当作这美妙生机体的图像。在这葡萄树里，有树的本身，并它所有的枝子。主耶稣说，这葡萄树就是祂自己。（1。）
祂是这树，我们是这树的枝子。借这清楚的图画我们能看见，我们是从这树分出来的枝子，因为枝子就是葡萄树的分枝。你若将枝子剪去，就只剩下一棵没有枝子、
光秃秃的树，这树也没有分枝了。但今天这宇宙的葡萄树有许多的枝子，这些枝子都是祂的分枝。当主耶稣在地上时，祂仅是住在某个地方的一个小人物。但是看看
祂今天的分枝：在华盛顿区、纽约、洛杉矶、伦敦、法兰克福、东京、马尼拉、台北、香港、并世界各地，都有祂分枝的部分。赞美主，在全地我们都看见这葡萄树
的分枝！这不是一个组织，乃是一个有生命，连同许多器官、生机体系、和生机元素在其中生长的生机体。（约翰福音生命读经，四四二至四四三页。） |

The Vine and the Branches
|
|
Let's Pray: |
|
Lord, cause us to see the intrinsic contents of Your Word and that
we may understand to interpret the divine revelation according to
Your desire in Your economy.. |

I am one
with Thee, Lord Jesus,
One in spirit now with Thee;
All Thyself I now possess, Lord,
All Thou art now lives in me.
One with Thee, one with Thee,
One with Thee, one with Thee;
Day by day I share Thy riches,
Thou art everything to me.

Today's Verses and Footnotes: John
17:14-24 |
|
Key Verses: |
|
John 15:4 |
Abide in Me and I in you. As the
branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so
neither can you unless you abide in Me.
|
|
John 15:5 |
I am the vine; you are the
branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for
apart from Me you can do nothing
|
|
John 15:7 |
If you abide in Me and My words
abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

In 15:1-11 we
see that the vine and the branches are an organism to glorify the
Father by expressing the riches of the divine life.
What is the
difference between an organization and an organism? A table, for
example, is an organization, for many pieces of wood are assembled
to form one entity. Why is a table an organization and not an
organism? Because in the table as a unit there is not one organ.
There are no organs in a table because there is no life in a table.
Apparently, our body is also an organization. However, it is much
more than an organization because we have both organs and life.
Since our body has both organs and life, it is an organism, not
merely an organization. In like manner, the church, the Body of
Christ, is an organism.
In John 15
this organism is likened to a vine tree. The grapevine is used as a
figure of this wonderful organism. Within this vine tree we have the
tree itself and all of its branches. The Lord Jesus said that the
vine tree is just Himself (v. 1). He is the tree, and we are the
branches of this tree. By this clear picture we can see that we are
the branching out of the tree, for the branches are the branching
out of the vine tree. If you were to cut off the branches, you would
have just a bare tree without branches, and there would be no
branching out of the vine. But today this universal vine tree has
many branches, and these branches are simply His branching out.
When the Lord
Jesus was on earth, He was just a small man living in a certain
place. But look at His branching out today: He has parts in
Washington, D.C., New York, Los Angeles, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo,
Manila, Taipei, Hong Kong, and throughout the world. Praise the Lord
that throughout the whole earth we see the branching out of this
vine tree! This is not an organization; it is an organism that has
life with many organic elements, organs, and organic systems growing
in it. (Life-Study of John, pp. 394-395)
