由「耶穌與撒瑪利亞女人談道」看：『基督是一切，又在一切之內』
經文：約4:1-24
A) 『基督是一切』－基督是我們的滿足
耶穌回答說：「凡喝這水的還要再渴；人若喝我所賜的水就永遠不渴。我所賜的水要在他裏頭成為泉源，直湧到永生。」(約4:13-14)
耶穌站著高聲說：「人若渴了，可以到我這裏來喝。 信我的人就如經上所說：『從他腹中要流出活水的江河來。』」耶穌這話是指著信祂之人要受聖靈說的。(約7:37-39a)
基督是活水泉，復活的基督在聖靈裡也成為湧流的江河：
1) 是心靈最深處、內在生命的滿足
2) 是超越時空，直湧流到永遠的
3) 在乎人的抉擇－如何回應耶穌
B) 『...又在一切之內』－基督帶來了超越時空的真實敬拜
1) 基督不僅使罪人能『與神和好』，並且得以『以神為樂』
不但如此，我們既藉著我主耶穌基督得與 神和好，也就藉著祂以 神為樂。 (羅5:11)
2) 真實的敬拜必帶進人內心真正的滿足
在你面前有滿足的喜樂； 在你右手中有永遠的福樂。(詩16:11)
All our needs can only be met and truly satisfied in Christ - family, career, church service, friendship ...
3) 真實的敬拜不在乎時空，乃在乎心靈和誠實
21 耶穌說：「婦人，你當信我。時候將到，你們拜父，也不在這山上，也不在耶路撒冷É23 時候將到，如今就是了，那真正拜父的，要用心靈和誠實拜祂，因為父要這樣的人拜祂。」 24 神是個靈，所以拜祂的必須用心靈和誠實拜祂。」(約4:21-24)
ÒChrist is all and in allÓ: From the
perspective of JesusÕ conversation with the Samaritan woman
Scriptures:
John 4:1-24
A. ÒChrist
is allÓ – Christ is our satisfaction
ÒJesus answered and said to her, ÔWhoever
drinks of this water will thirst again, but
whoever drinks of the water that I shall
give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall
give him will become in him a fountain of
water springing up into everlasting life.ÕÓ(John
4:13-14)
ÒÉ Jesus stood and cried out, saying, ÔIf anyone thirsts, let
him come to Me and drink. He
who believes in Me, as the Scripture has
said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.Õ
But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing
in Him would receive;Ó (John
7:37-39a)
Jesus is the fountain of living water. In the Holy Spirit the
resurrected Christ has become the
rivers of living water:
a. In the depth of onesÕ spirit, for
the satisfaction of life
b. Surpasses time and space, flows unto everlasting
c. Depends on manÕs choosing – our response to Jesus
B. ÒChrist
is in allÓ – Christ ushered in true worship that transcends time and
space
a. Christ not only reconciled sinners to God, but that they
can rejoice in God
ÒAnd not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, through
whom we have now received the
reconciliation.Ó (Rom 5:11)
b. True worship will bring about a genuine satisfaction of
the heart
ÒIn Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are
pleasures forevermore.Ó (Ps
16:11)
All our needs can only be met and truly satisfied in Christ -
family, career, church service, friendship ...
c. True worship does not depend on time and space, but a
matter of spirit and truth
Jesus said to her, ÒWoman, believe Me,
the hour is coming when you will neither on this
mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the
Father. É But the hour is coming, and now is,
when the true worshipers will worship the
Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is
seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit,
and those who worship Him must worship in
spirit and truth.Ó (John 4:21-24)
