“有一个女人,患了十二年的血漏来到耶稣背后,摸祂的衣裳繸子”(太9:20)。JNN37.1

And suddenlyoman who halow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.—Matthew 9:20{JNN 37.1}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第31章
当你回应基督的吸引、与祂联合时,就表现出得救的信心。漫不经心地谈论宗教问题,不怀着饥渴的心和活泼的信心来祈求属灵的福气,是没有什么作用的。那些拥挤在耶稣身边显出惊奇的群众,并没有通过这种接触而感觉到生命大能的显示。然而那位患了十二年疾病、可怜又痛苦的妇人,在极大的需要中,伸手摸耶稣的衣裳繸子时,却感受到了医治的能力。她的抚摸是出于信心的。耶稣觉察到这次抚摸。……那使我们与基督有了生命上联络的信心,表达了我们最佳的选择,完全的信赖与献身。这是生发仁爱并洁净人心灵的信心,会使跟从基督的人在生活中真正顺从上帝的诫命;因为爱上帝、爱人,是人与基督发生生命联络的结果。…….?JNN37.2

When you respond to the drawing of Christ, and join yourself to Him, you manifest saving faith. To talk of religious things iasual way, to pray for spiritual blessings without real soul hunger and living faith, avails little. The wondering crowd that pressed close about Jesus realized no accession of vital power from the contact. But when the poor, suffering woman, who for twelve years had been an invalid, in her great need put forth her hand and touched the hem of His garment, she felt the healing virtue. Hers was the touch of faith, and Christ recognized that touch.... The faith which avails to bring us in vital contact with Christ expresses on our part supreme preference, perfect reliance, entire consecration. This faith works by love and purifies the soul. It works in the life of the follower of Christ true obedience to God’s commandments; for love to God and love to men and women will be the result of vital connection with Christ....{JNN 37.2}

耶稣说:“我是葡萄树,你们是枝子”(约15:5)。我们还能想象出比这更密切的关系吗?枝子的纤维与葡萄树的纤维是完全一样的。从树干到树枝,生命、能量与养料源源不断地输送。树根的养分藉着树枝传输,基督与信徒的关系也是如此。如果他住在基督里面,就能从祂身上吸收养分。但基督与人之间的这种属灵联系,只有藉着个人信心的运用才能建立起来。“人非有信,就不能得上帝的喜悦”(来11:6);因为是信心把我们与属天的能力联在一起,并加强我们战胜黑暗权势的力量。“使我们胜了世界的,就是我们的信心”(约壹5:4)。信心使人经常体验上帝的存在与临格,并在生活中以单纯的眼睛仰望上帝的荣耀,越来越多地认识到祂优美的品格和卓越的恩典。我们心中的属灵力量会越来越刚强,因为我们在呼吸天国的空气,看到上帝在我们的右边,使我们永不动摇。我们正在超越尘世,瞻仰那位超乎万人之上,又全然可爱的主。藉着仰望,我们会变成祂的形像。(1SM334、335)JNN37.3

Jesus says, “I am the vine, ye are the branches” (John 15:5). Can we conceive oore intimate relation than this implies? The fibers of the branch are identical with those of the vine. The communication of life, strength, and nourishment from the trunk to the branches is unobstructed and constant. The root sends its nourishment through the branches. Such is the believer’s relation to Christ, if he abides in Christ and draws his nourishment from Him. But this spiritual relation between Christ and the soul can be established only through the exercise of personal faith. “Without faith it is impossible to please Him” (Hebrews 11:6); for it is faith that connects us with the power of heaven, and brings us strength for coping with the powers of darkness. “This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4).... Our souls become strong in spiritual power; for we are breathing the atmosphere of heaven, and realizing that God is at our right hand, that we shall not be moved. We are rising above the world, beholding Him who is the Chief among ten thousand, the one altogether lovely, and by beholding we are to become changed into His image.—Selected Messages 1:334, 335.{JNN 37.3}
