“PARTAKERS OF ONE BREAD”

“同领一饼” 

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (2 Peter 1:4).

因此，他已将又宝贵又极大的应许给我们，使你们既脱离世上从情欲来的败坏，就借这些应许得与神的性情有分。（彼得后书1:4）

In John 6:32-33, in response to the Jews, Jesus said, “…Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.” He emphasized this in John 6:49: “Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.” Here, He was talking about Himself; He’s the Living Bread!

耶稣在约翰福音6:32-33回应犹大人说：“……那从天上来的粮不是摩西给你们的，而是我父将天上来的真粮给你们。因为他就是神的粮，是那从天上降下来、给世界生命的。”祂在约翰福音6:49又强调这一点，说道：“你们的父辈在旷野吃过吗哪，还是死了。这是从天上降下来的粮，叫人吃了就不死。”祂在这里所说的就是祂自己，祂是生命的粮！

The Word of God is the living bread which came down from heaven; the Word that became flesh. Jesus explained this in John 6:51. He said, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” 

神的道是从天上降下来的生命的粮。这道成了肉身。耶稣在约翰福音6:51解释这一点说道：“我是从天上降下来活的粮；人若吃这粮，就必永远活着。我所要给的粮就是我的肉体，就是我为世界的生命要献上的。”

But then 1 Corinthians 10:17 reveals something powerful; it says, “For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.” If we’re one bread with Him, it therefore means we have the same life, because we’re born of the Word (1 Peter 1:23), just as Jesus is the Word made flesh (John 1:14). Colossians 1:18 says, “And he (Christ) is the head of the body, the church….” The life in the body isn’t different from the life in the head; the head and the body share the same life. 

但接下来哥林多前书10:17显明了大有能力的内容，说道：“我们虽多，仍是一个饼，一个身体，因为我们都有分于这一个饼。”如果我们与祂是一个饼，那么这就是意味着我们拥有同样的生命，因为我们是从道生的（彼得前书1:23），就如同耶稣是道成了肉身一样（约翰福音1:14）。歌罗西书1:18说：“他（基督）是教会这身体的头……。”身体躯干中的生命与头的生命没有不同，头和身体分享的是同一个生命。

No wonder 2 Peter 1:4 says we’re “associates of the God-kind” (2 Peter 1:4); we share His life, His glory, His righteousness, His health, prosperity, strength and authority! This is what we affirm when we take the Holy Communion; it’s a celebration of our oneness with Him; we’re members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones (Ephesians 5:30). Blessed be God! 

难怪彼得后书1:4说我们是“与神联合的”（彼得后书1:4）；我们同享祂的生命、荣耀、义、健康、兴盛、力量和权柄！这是我们在领圣餐时所宣告的，是我们庆贺自己与祂的合一。我们是祂身体上的肢体，是祂的肉，祂的骨（以弗所书5:30）。神是配得称颂的！

Confession

宣告

Christ is my life; in Him, I live, move, and have my being! I’m a member of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones! I’m a partaker of His life, His righteousness, His glory, prosperity, health and dominion. I win all the time, and prosper in all I do, because the life and nature of God is at work in me. Hallelujah! 

基督是我的生命，我在祂的里面活着、行动、存留！我是祂身体上的肢体，是祂的肉、祂的骨头！我与祂的生命、义、荣耀、兴盛、健康和主权上有分。，我总是得胜，在凡我所行的事上尽都兴盛，因为神的生命和性情在我的里面运行。哈利路亚！
