神的生命究竟是如何进入我们里面的? 所有的宗教仪式究竟是如何在我们的生命中发挥作用的? 我想很多人对这个问题都抱着一种迷信的心态,一种不可知的神乎其神的 奇妙的能力,通过各种仪式作用在我们的身上,改变我们的心思意念。
我们所吃的不光光是能量啊,更重要的是信息,和神交流/互动的过程中,在生活的每个地方时间我们都能从神那里领悟他的真理,这就是 Communion。
肉体的食物吃得好就会有健康的身体,吃得不好就会损害自己的身体。精神的食物更包含我们面对主耶稣的宝血和饼的态度,我们是从他那里获取生命的粮食的,这是多么真实呢! 就是Communication,不是神需要从我们这里获得什么信息,而是我们从神的光里获得生命,这光是单向的照向我们,神为了我们生命成长的缘故,教我们互相顺服,互相服侍,交流互动,互相建造,将各自所明白的神的话,说给别人听。甚至我们的祷告,也不光是为改变我们自己,更是为别人学习的目的,但绝对不是改变神为我们的想法服务的。
所以,Communion 就是从神的话里面获得生命的信息,这就是属灵的吃喝了。
