有些基督徒反对吃神这件事,并问怎么可能有这样的事。然而,吃神的观念这神圣的思想,乃是完全按照圣经的,虽然宗教人士常常把它忽略了。他们可能宁愿仅仅客观的敬拜神,宣告祂是圣别的。但我们要跟随圣经,有分于神并享受祂作我们的食物。当你来到餐桌前,你会把摆在你面前的食物吃下去。照样,我们来到主面前,就该吃祂作我们的食物。
吃神的结果乃是彰显神。我们享受神圣的生命之后,就彰显神圣的生命。神是生命,话也是生命。这话述说神、说明神、解释神、也彰显神。神为自己说话。但祂不是仅仅客观的从天上说话。祂也因着我们吃祂,而藉着我们主观的说话。今天我们的神不仅从天上说话,也藉着我们─藉着我们这个人说话。神如何藉着我们说话?神藉着我们吃祂并享受祂而说话。
Some Christians oppose the matter of eating God and ask how such a thing is possible. However, the concept of eating God, a divine thought, is absolutely according to the Bible, although religious people often miss it. They may prefer to worship God merely in an objective way, declaring that He is holy. But we would follow the Scriptures to partake of God and enjoy Him as our food. When you come to the dining table, you eat the food set before you. Likewise, when we come to the Lord, we should eat Him as our food.
The result of eating God is that we express Him. After we enjoy the divine life, we express the divine life. God is life, and the Word also is life. This Word speaks, defines, explains, and expresses God. God speaks for Himself. But He does not merely speak objectively from the heavens. He also speaks subjectively through us as a result of our eating of Him. Today our God speaks not only from the heavens; He also speaks through us, through our being. In what way does God speak through us? God speaks by our eating and enjoyment of Him.
