总题:基督七倍加强的天上职事
第五篇 产生得胜者(三)
Message Five To Produce the Overcomers (3)
壹 召会,基督的身体,乃是祂所要得着的珍贵珠子─太十三45~46,徒二十28,弗五25:
I. The church, the Body of Christ, is the pearl of great price which He desires to have—Matt. 13:45-46; Acts 20:28; Eph. 5:25:
一 基督所要的,乃是借着祂在成肉体、总括和加强这三个时期中的职事,得着这珍贵的珠子。
A. What Christ wants is this great pearl by His ministry in three stages—incarnation, inclusion, and intensification.
二 基督在成就救赎并完成祂生机救恩上所渴望的,乃是要得着召会,就是祂的身体─弗一22~23,五23。
B. The desire of Christ in accomplishing redemption and carrying out His organic salvation is that He would gain the church, which is His Body—Eph. 1:22-23; 5:23.
三 召会,基督的身体,作基督的新妇,妻子,乃是借着祂在三个时期中的职事之完整救恩的终极完成─约三29,林后十一2,启二一2,9~10,二二17上。
C. The church, the Body of Christ, as the bride, the wife, of Christ, is the consummation of His complete salvation by His ministry in three stages—John 3:29; 2 Cor. 11:2; Rev. 21:2, 9-10; 22:17a.
四 新妇预备好,乃是借着基督的救赎、生机的救恩、和祂生机救恩的加强工作─弗五26~27,启十九7~8。
D. The preparation of the bride is by Christ's redemption, organic salvation, and the intensified work of His organic salvation—Eph. 5:26-27; Rev. 19:7-8.
贰 为要完全并完整的产生基督的身体,就需要基督职事的第三个时期,就是加强的时期;基督在这时期中成了七倍加强赐生命的灵─林前十五45下,启一4,五6。
II. In order for the Body to be produced in a full and complete way, there is the need of the third stage of Christ's ministry, the stage of intensification, in which Christ becomes the sevenfold intensified life-giving Spirit—1 Cor. 15:45b; Rev. 1:4; 5:6.
叁 七倍加强赐生命的灵,乃是为着产生得胜者,使基督的身体得以建造起来,以终极完成新耶路撒冷─启一4,四5,五6,三1,12:
III. The sevenfold intensified life-giving Spirit is for the producing of the overcomers so that the Body of Christ can be built up to consummate the New Jerusalem—Rev. 1:4; 4:5; 5:6; 3:1, 12:
一 基督在祂第二个总括的时期,产生了众召会,但基督的身体并没有多少真实而实际的产生且建造起来。
A. In His second stage, the stage of His inclusion, Christ produced the churches; however, not much of the Body was produced and built up in an actual and practical way.
二 为此,基督成了七倍加强赐生命的灵,为要胜过召会的堕落,使得胜者能产生出来,以带进基督的身体。
B. For this reason Christ has become the sevenfold intensified life-giving Spirit to overcome the degradation of the church that the overcomers may be produced to bring forth the Body.
三 没有得胜者,基督的身体就无法建造起来,而基督的身体若没有建造起来,基督就无法回来迎娶新妇。
C. Without the overcomers the Body of Christ cannot be built up, and unless the Body of Christ is built up Christ cannot come back for His bride.
四 基督身体的建造,乃是借着基督在祂七倍加强的天上职事里所产生的得胜者。
D. The building up of the Body of Christ is by the overcomers produced by Christ in His sevenfold intensified heavenly ministry.
肆 在召会生活中,我们需要竭力达到基督身体之实际的最高峰,就是今日的锡安─启十四1:
IV. In the church life we need to endeavor to reach the highest peak, today's Zion, of the reality of the Body of Christ—Rev. 14:1:
一 在新约中,得胜者被比作锡安:
A. In the New Testament the overcomers are likened to Zion:
1 在启示录十四章一节,十四万四千个得胜者不仅是在耶路撒冷,乃是在锡安的高峰上。
1. In Revelation 14:1 the 144,000 overcomers are not just in Jerusalem; they are on the peak of Zion.
2 在启示录里,主所要的、主所要建造的,乃是锡安,就是得胜者。
2. In the book of Revelation what the Lord wants and what the Lord will build up is Zion, the overcomers.
3 今天在召会时代,被成全并得成熟的神人乃是在召会里面的锡安,就是得胜者。
3. Today in the church age, the God-men who are perfected and matured are Zion, the overcomers, within the churches.
4 主的恢复就是要建造锡安。
4. The Lord's recovery is to build up Zion.
二 神经纶的高峰乃是锡安,就是基督身体的实际。
B. The highest peak in God's economy is Zion, the reality of the Body of Christ.
三 今日在主的恢复中,我们需要一直往前,达到锡安山:
C. Today in the Lord's recovery, we need to go on and on to reach Mount Zion:
1 要达到这高峰,除了祷告以外,别无他路。
1. There is no other way to reach this high peak except by praying.
2 我们要达到这高峰,就需要拼上祷告,并付代价,像使徒保罗一样─腓三7~11。
2. If we would reach this high peak, we need to be desperate to pray and to pay the cost as the apostle Paul did—Phil. 3:7-11.
伍 得胜者是为着建造基督的身体,以终极完成新耶路撒冷─启二7下,三12,21:
V. The overcomers are for the building up of the Body of Christ to consummate the New Jerusalem—Rev. 2:7b; 3:12, 21:
一 主需要得胜者来完成神的经纶,使主得着一个身体,并毁坏祂的仇敌─弗一10,三9,提前一4,启十二11。
A. The Lord needs the overcomers to carry out the economy of God to have a Body and to destroy His enemy—Eph. 1:10; 3:9; 1 Tim. 1:4; Rev. 12:11.
二 得胜者在今世建造基督的身体,乃是为着在国度时代新耶路撒冷初步的完成,并且至终是为着在新天新地里新耶路撒冷完满的完成─启二7,二一2。
B. The building up of the Body of Christ by the overcomers in this age is for the initial consummation of the New Jerusalem in the kingdom age and eventually for the full consummation of the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth—Rev. 2:7; 21:2.
三 得胜者看见身体、认识身体、并顾到身体─罗十二4~5,林前十二12,18,24下~27,弗二16,四4,16,西二19。
C. The overcomers see the Body, know the Body, and care for the Body—Rom. 12:4-5; 1 Cor. 12:12, 18, 24b-27; Eph. 2:16; 4:4, 16; Col. 2:19.
四 得胜者就是那些顾到神的权益超过一切,包括他们的需要的人─太六33。
D. The overcomers are those who care for God's interests above everything, including their necessities—Matt. 6:33.
五 主的迟延,是因为祂仍然需要一些人肯付代价作祂的得胜者─启三18,太二五9。
E. The Lord has been delayed because He still needs some who will pay the price to be His overcomers—Rev. 3:18; Matt. 25:9.
六 我们必须立定志向,要否认自己,并为着主、为着主的恢复、为着基督的身体作得胜者─启十二11,十四1,4。
F. We must resolve to deny ourselves and be the overcomers for the Lord, for the recovery, and for the Body—Rev. 12:11; 14:1, 4.
