📖 主题:活石重建的墙——从尼希米记到属灵的教会

📅 日期:2025年7月12日

一、破裂的墙,破碎的心

尼希米回到耶路撒冷,看见圣城的墙被毁,门被火烧,百姓失去防护、尊严与方向。这不仅是城墙的废墟,更是神子民属灵光景的写照——支离破碎,毫无遮盖。

但神感动尼希米起来,带领百姓重建。他们不是专业工匠,却甘心摆上,在自己家门前的一段段墙上奋力建造。

重建的关键不是技术,而是回应神的呼召。

二、彼此相连的建造

尼希米记第3章反复出现一个词:“其次”。

“其次是……修造”、“其次是……建造”。
这不是重复的描写,而是一幅属灵的图画——
一段接一段,一家接一家,一个名字接一个名字,
直到原本破碎的城墙被完全修复。

每一段墙,都有人守护;
每一处破口,都有人补上;
每一个名字,神都记念。

他们没有等候完美条件才开始,而是立即响应、各就各位、齐心建造。
今天的教会也需要这样的合一与连结——
没有人是多余的,没有生命是被忽略的。
我们是一起修造,一起完成神心意的属灵工程。

三、新约的应许:你是那块活石

彼得前书2章说:“你们就像活石,被建造成属灵的殿。”
神如今不再建造一座用石头堆砌的圣殿,祂要用你我这“活的生命”,建立起属灵的居所。

每一块活石,都在隐秘中被雕琢——
在试炼中成形,在顺服中被磨合。
然后被圣灵按着祂的心意放置,连结在一起,
彼此靠近、彼此遮盖,筑成坚固的属灵城墙。

四、回应神的呼召:重建,从你开始

如果你看见破口,那不是偶然——
可能正是神要你修补的那段墙。

如果你感到自己不够好、不够有能力,
也不要退后——
神用的不是完美的人,而是肯回应、愿摆上的人。

我们不是散落在地上的孤石,
而是紧紧相连的活石,一同建造属灵的家、属灵的城。

🙏 默想与祷告

主啊,求你塑造我,使我成为合你心意的活石。
放我在你要建造的位置上,
无论是在城墙的正门,还是在看不见的角落,
让我忠心修复破口,与肢体彼此连结,
成为你荣耀同住的地方。
奉主耶稣的名,阿们。

📖 Title: Rebuilding the Wall with Living Stones — From Nehemiah to the Spiritual Church

📅 Date: July 12, 2025

  1. A Broken Wall, A Broken Heart

When Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem, he saw the city walls torn down and the gates burned with fire. The people had lost their protection, dignity, and direction. This was not just physical destruction—it reflected the spiritual condition of God’s people: fragmented, exposed, and without covering.

But God stirred Nehemiah’s heart to rise up and lead the people in rebuilding. These were not professional builders, but ordinary people who willingly took up the work, each repairing a portion of the wall near their homes.

The key to rebuilding was not skill, but a willing response to God’s call.

  1. A Wall Built by Unity

In Nehemiah chapter 3, two phrases are repeated again and again:
“Next to him…” and “After him…”

This repetition is not accidental—it paints a powerful spiritual image:
One builder next to another, one family after another, name after name—
until the once-broken wall stood complete in unity and purpose.

Every portion had someone watching over it.
Every gap had someone willing to repair it.
Every name is remembered by God.

They didn’t wait for perfect conditions.
They responded in faith, stood in their assigned places, and worked side by side.

The church today needs that same spirit—
no one is unnecessary, and no life is wasted.
We build together, with one heart and one vision from God.

  1. A New Testament Promise: You Are a Living Stone

1 Peter 2 says, “You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house.”
God is no longer building a temple of physical stones. He is building a dwelling of lives—your life and mine—shaped by His hand.

Each living stone is formed in secret—
shaped through trials, softened by surrender,
and set into place by the Holy Spirit according to His design.

Each stone fits next to another, aligned and connected,
forming a spiritual wall that is both strong and sacred.

  1. Rebuild from Where You Are

If you see a broken place in the wall, it’s not by accident—
that might be the very place God is calling you to restore.

If you feel weak or unqualified, don’t step back—
God doesn’t call the perfect.
He calls the willing.

We are not scattered pieces lying on the ground.
We are living stones, joined and positioned,
building together the house of God and the city of His glory.

🙏 Reflection and Prayer

Lord, shape me into a living stone that pleases You.
Place me where You want me to be.
Whether at the main gate or in a hidden corner,
let me be faithful to repair the breach,
to stand next to others, and build with love.
May I become part of a house where Your glory dwells.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
