当我们在讲到神的圣洁时，最后要谈到的就是神怎么临在圣徒当中。《罗8:34》告诉我们复活的主现今已经在神的右边《罗8:34》，但我们的主在与门徒的最后晚餐也说：我不撇下你们为孤儿，我必到你们这里来《约14:18》。那么，我们要问那已经升天坐在宝座右边的主是怎么临到圣徒当中呢？当然，我们会说神今天已经借着圣灵随时随地与我们同在，但是在宝座上的主是否实质的临到我们当中，如同祂复活之后临到门徒当中呢？确实，活在肉身的我们虽肉眼看不见主，但我们都渴望那与主联合的经历。除非神的临在是切实能经历到的，活在肉身的我们没有办法一直保守着能看见神的同在。因此，主将圣餐赐给圣徒，嘱咐他们每当领受饼和杯时，得以借着圣灵的工作经历那临在他们当中的主。确实，圣徒的圣餐有何等重大的意义。那不但叫活在地上的我们得以经历与天上的主联合，且叫我们与旁边的肢体联合。其实，没有一个活在肉身的信徒能以纯粹的信心活着。他的信心一定要结合神临在的感官经历，信心才能得以坚固。这如同向着以马忤斯走去的两位灰心的门徒，复活的主在他们行走时临近他们，开导他们的心《路24:13-27》。当门徒都害怕犹太人的逼迫而将门锁上时，主却临到他们当中赐他们平安《约20:19-20》。那么，今天那已经升天的主还会不会临近我们呢？当然会。但是祂临近我们的方法不是以祂复活之后向门徒显现的方法，乃是透过祂赐给我们的圣餐。当众圣徒在圣餐当中集中的记念我们的主为我们的受难与复活时，那圣洁与荣耀的主是临近我们。倘若我们缺乏这方面的属灵经历，我们的信仰只多半留在观念性，但却少了实质性。那久而久之，我们很快会发现自己的信仰只是停留在理性层面，缺少灵性与感性的要素。我们可以想象说若一个人只有读父亲的信，却很少真实得见父亲的面，他对父亲的认识一定会有欠缺之处。因此，即便主今天已经在宝座的右边为我们代求，但是祂实质的临在是何在何时呢？那就在每逢吃这饼与喝这杯来要记念祂的时候了。但是，很多信徒只将此当做仪式，甚至轻忽了圣餐之事，甚至不省察自己，且以不圣洁的心来领受那最圣洁的圣物。因此，他们在灵命上多受亏损，久而久之在肉身上也遭受一些后果。那且是因为他们在圣餐时不按理吃主的饼与喝主的杯，以至干犯主的身和主的血。这也告诉我们圣洁的主在圣礼当中临在的事是不可轻忽的。可能在一般的时候，我们人都很容易忽视主的圣洁，但是在圣餐时，主圣洁的光辉强烈的照耀众圣徒。在那时候继续不悔改之人因此遭受非常严重的惩治。那么，从另外一个角度来看，主将圣礼赐给我们且是给予我们的一种保护。那叫我们这活在世界的信徒常常不得不省察自己。确实，活在这有罪的世界的信徒很容易因罪而麻木。有的可能已经落入仇敌的网络，有的可能因私欲无法自拔，有的可能已经渐渐与世界的文化同化，失去一个基督徒的喜乐。但是，当我们在圣餐中被带到与主联合，我们没有办法不洗净我们那污秽的良心。确实，主在圣餐当中惩治我们，免得我们与世人一同定罪。祂也在圣餐中使我们得着祂同在的能力，以至我们能在这有苦难的世界忍耐到底，且以得胜。最后，圣餐也叫我们与众肢体联合。因为《林前10:17》说：我们虽多，仍是一个饼、一个身体，因为我们都是分受这一个饼。因此，没有一个真正领受圣餐的人会不喜爱相聚。他也不会动不动轻看或论断旁边的肢体。因为信徒的合一本是因领受一个主的身体而来。

When we talk about the holiness of God, at the end, we should talk about how God lives among the saints. <Ro 8:34> tells us that the Lord who was raised to life is at the right hand of God, but our Lord also told His disciples at the last supper, I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you <Jn 14:18>. Therefore, we need to ask how does the Lord who has ascended to heaven and seated on the right hand of the heavenly throne come amidst the saints? Of course, we will say that God is with us today anytime and anywhere through His Holy Spirit but is the Lord who is seated on the heavenly throne amidst us in substance, just like how He was among the disciples after He resurrected? Indeed, even though we who are living in the flesh cannot see God physically, we all hope to experience being in union with the Lord. Unless the Lord's presence can be truly experienced, we who are living in the flesh have no means to stay guarded and continue to see God's presence. Hence, the Lord has given His saints Holy Communion, instructing that whenever they partake of the bread and cup, they are able to experience the Lord among them through the work of the Holy Spirit. Indeed, the holy communion of the saints has such a great significance. Not only does it allow us who are living on earth to experience being united with our Lord in heaven, it also allows us to be joined and united with the brethren beside us. Actually, no believer who is living in the flesh is able to live by pure faith. His faith must be combined with the sensory experience of God's presence before his faith can be strengthened. This is like the two discouraged disciples who were on the road to Emmaus, the risen Lord came up, walked along with them and enlightened their hearts <Lk 24:13-27>. When the disciples were fearful of the persecution by the Jews and locked their doors, the Lord came among them and gave them peace <Jn 20:19-20>. Then, will the Lord still come near to us? Definitely. However, the way He is near us is unlike the way He appeared to His disciples after He resurrected, but through the Holy Communion which He has given us. When all saints gather to remember the Lord’s suffering and resurrection during Holy Communion, the holy and glorious Lord is near us. If we lack the spiritual experience in this area, our faith remains largely conceptual and lacks substance. Over time, we soon find that our faith remains at the rational level and lacks spiritual and emotional elements. We can imagine if a person only reads his father’s letters but rarely meets him in person, his understanding of his father will definitely be limited. Therefore, even though the Lord is seated at the right hand of the heavenly throne interceding for us, when and where is His real presence? That is whenever we partake of the bread and cup in remembrance of Him. However, many believers regard this as a ritual and even take matters of the Holy Communion lightly to the extent of not examining themselves and instead partake of the most holy elements with an unclean heart. Hence, they will suffer much losses in their spiritual life and over time, they will also suffer some consequences physically. That is because when they partake of the Holy Communion, they do it in an unworthy manner, and so are guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. This also tells us not to view lightly the presence of our holy Lord during the sacrament. Possibly, at most times, we very easily overlook the holiness of God but it is during the Holy Communion that the Lord’s holiness shines strongly on all the saints. Those who continue not to repent will hence suffer serious punishment at this time. Then, looking from another perspective, the Lord has given us this holy gift as a form of protection. It calls us believers living in this world to often examine ourselves. Indeed, believers living in this sinful world are easily numb because of sin. Some have already fallen into the trap of the enemy, some cannot pull themselves out from their carnal desires, some may have gradually assimilated with the culture of this world and lose the joy of being a Christian. However, during Holy Communion, we are brought to an union with the Lord, we have no choice but to cleanse our defiled conscience. Indeed, the Lord disciplines us during the Holy Communion lest we be condemned like the people of this world. He also allows us to receive the power from His presence during the Holy Communion so that we can persevere to the end in this world of suffering and be victorious. Lastly, the Holy Communion also calls all brethren to join together. This is because <1 Co 10:17> says, “Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.” Therefore, a person who truly partakes of the Holy Communion will not dislike gathering. He will also not look down on or judge the brethren beside him. This is because the unity of believers comes from receiving from one body of the Lord.
