Lesson 2 Christ is the meaning of Life Short Story for Shepherding Material
Col 3:4 When Christ our life is manifested, you also will be manifested with Him in glory..
The more washing the clay doll, the dirtier it is!
A father bought a white and beautiful clay doll for his daughter. Because his daughter often touched the clay doll's white face with her hands, the clay doll's face became dirtier. The girl said, "When my face is dirty, , I wash my face with water, so I'll also wash the clay doll's face with water." As a result, the more it's washed, the dirtier it became, because the clay doll is made of clay and cannot be washed with water.
According to the Bible, man as a clay doll is made of clay. No matter how beautiful we're, our human life element is still clay. Our self-improvement is just the same as washing away the stains on the clay doll's face with water, because our human life essence is clay, and it cannot withstand any external cleaning like water washing of a clay doll. The more you wash it, the more dirtier it is. Man's self-improvements and good deeds are all useless. These can't make the bad inside you better, Only receiving Christ as eternal life can change us.
Without Christ, everything is vanity. Although man is the meaning of the universe, without Christ, man has no content or reality. Without Christ, man is merely an empty vessel which needs Christ to be his content.
That's why you need to open up yourself to receive Him as your life by calling on His name. Don't keep anything religious or spiritual in your mind. Then you will see that this living Christ as the living Spirit is always with us. He is so present, prevailing, available and instant ! No matter what situation you are in , you must forget yourself and your reasoning. Just open up to Him and call: "O Lord Jesus ". Just enjoy Him, He is your real life and content, and true meaning of your human life to satisfy you fully.

第二課 基督是人生的意義
西3:4 基督是我們的生命，祂顯現的時候，你們也要與祂一同顯現在榮耀裡。
泥娃娃越水洗越髒
某父親買了又白又漂亮的泥娃娃給他的女兒,
他女兒因為常常用手去摸泥娃娃的白臉,泥娃娃的白臉就越來越髒了,
小女孩說"我的臉髒時,我都會去洗臉,那麼我也用水給泥娃娃洗臉。"
結果,越洗就越髒了,因為泥娃娃是泥土造的,是不能用水洗的。
根據聖經,人也是泥土所造的泥娃娃,外面的裝飾再好看,
裡面仍然是屬泥土的生命,我們想要靠自己來改善自己,
就如靠水去洗泥娃娃臉上污點,但是我們生命本質是泥土,
是經不起外面如水一樣的整理,反像洗泥娃娃卻越洗越髒,
人的修行,行善,都是沒有用的,這些都不能叫你裡面的壞更好,
惟有接受基督作生命才能夠得著生命上的改變。
沒有基督，一切都是虛空的。
雖然人是宇宙的意義，若沒有基督，人仍缺乏內容或實際。
沒有基督，人不過是虛空的器皿。人需要基督作內容。
你需要一直敞開自己，呼求祂的名；
不要在心思裡持守任何宗教或屬靈的事物。
這樣你就會看見這位活的基督,活的靈，一直與我們同在。
祂是現時、有效、便利、即時的。
不論你面對任何人事事，你要忘記你自己和你的講理；
只要向祂敞開呼求：『哦，主耶穌。』
只要享受祂，祂是你的真生命和真內容，
祂是你真正人生的意義,才能完全地滿足你。
