我們需要在凡事上活出新耶路撒冷，在讀書的事上也不能例外。首先我們需要
有一種服在寶座上之神的元首權柄下，以祂為一切祝福和供應的源頭。不要為主所安排給我們的科系，給我們的老師，怨天尤人，那不是活出新耶路撒冷，那不是以新耶路撒冷的眼光來讀書，那是照世人的眼光來讀書。反之，我們該感謝著領受，並在每天、每堂課、讀書、考試前都禱告，讓祂居第一位，在我們全人中心登寶座。接下來，我們還需要有一個眼光，主把我擺在這個學校，這個班上，不是只為著讀書而讀書，我在那裡就是一個珍珠門，總要有些人是藉著我這一個門進到新耶路撒冷，若是我們在學的這些年間沒有人藉我得著生命，我就成了閒站的門，因此我們需要常為同學禱告。此外，我們需要顯出碧玉 澋膶嶋H，我們需要與世人有別，當同學要放縱的時候不會找我們，當同學說污穢世俗的言語看見我們來了，就停下他們的談論。我們也要能活出生命樹、生命水流的實際，我們是一個常常喜樂的人，常常歡呼的人。我們必須能說：凡口渴的人到我這裡來，我要使你們得活水喝！信我所信的祂腹中要流出活水的?shy;河！我們還要在讀書的事上活出新耶路撒冷之光的實際，我需要能向倪弟兄一樣，自己先讀神的話語，至終全校有一種讀經的風氣。這樣就成功了。 至於精金街道的實際說出我們要憑裡面神聖的性情來讀書。到底聚會和讀書時間兩者上如何取得平衡，完全要照著裡面的感覺，讓基督的平安來作仲裁 讚美主，新耶路撒冷的基礎是純金的，表徵神的神聖性情作城的建築基礎。而我們即是新耶路撒冷的構成分子，我們就必須是金的，我們?shy;是由塵土所造，但我們接受基督作我們的生命時，就重生我們成為金的。在重生時，我們接受了神聖的生命，就是金的生命。在亞當代表的舊造裡，我們是塵土人；但我們重生時，就成了金人。阿利路亞，我們雖然身為學生，我們仍然是新耶路撒冷的構成分子，課業不過是我們身為學生該完成的責任而已，所以在我們讀書，做功課時，也應該有金的性情在我們裡面，這金的性情就成為我們讀書時應有的基礎。無論是那一類的科目；是繁重或輕省，都是在這一個金的基礎上讀書。近來在讀書的事上主光照我不是在金的基礎上讀書，常會看自己的得失，當成績好時，心情就好一點；成績不好時，心情就差一點，看見這些都是我屬土的性情，到頭來榮耀或羞愧都是自己，沒有神，沒有金的性情。於是，我就向主說：「主啊！真是願意向你悔改，地上的榮耀有一天都要過去，我不願再為這些必朽壞的勞力，我願意照著你金的性情讀書，作為新耶路撒冷的構成分子，無論成敗，都是你。 這樣敞開自己向主禱告後，我就摸著有一道生命水的河從寶座流出來，流到我裡頭，解了我在課業上追求滿足而不得其效的飢渴；而長在河兩岸的生命樹也作了我的食物供應我，把神帶給我。當我願意在讀書的事上服在寶座的權柄之下，我就嘗到新耶路撒冷，神與人的居所之甜美

FYI
Why We need to celebrate Christmas?
We do not celebrate Christmas for some reasons.
1. The date Jesus was born is not mentioned in the Bible.
2. During December, in the Middle East including Israel, the weather is cold and snowing, the flock can only stay in sheep pen. Besides, the shepherds will not spend their nights in the fields. But in Luke 2:8 “And there were shepherds in the same region, spending their nights in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.” What is recorded in the Bible is true and cannot be denied, so the date of “Christmas” (25/12) is incorrect.
3. The Bible does not record the date because God don’t want “Christmas” become a religious activity. When we are saved, God was born in us.
4. The Bible does not tell us to remember the birth of Jesus. However, Jesus wants us to declare the Lord’s death and remember His resurrection until He comes. (Matthew 26:26-30, Mark 14:22-26, Luke 22:16-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
