Scripture Reading: Heb. 3:1-6; Matt. 16:18; Gen. 1:26; 2:7-12, 22
壹　耶稣是我们的使徒，就是受差遣，从神并同神到我们这里来的人，也是我们的大祭司，就是从我们并同我们回到神那里去的人─来三1：
I.　Jesus is our Apostle, the One who was sent to us from God and with God, and our High Priest, the One who went back to God from us and with us—Heb. 3:1:
一　摩西是使徒耶稣的预表（来三5，徒三22~23），是神所差遣的使徒，要去把以色列人领出埃及，带他们经过旷野，目标是要进入美地，目的为使他们能形成并构成为神的家─出三8，16~18，四十33~34。
A.　Moses, as a type of the Apostle Jesus (Heb. 3:5; Acts 3:22-23), was God's sent one, the apostle who was to take Israel out of Egypt and lead them through the wilderness with the goal of entering the good land for the purpose that they might be formed and constituted into the house of God—Exo. 3:8, 16-18; 40:33-34.
二　耶稣是使徒，同着神到我们这里，与我们分享神，使我们有分于祂神圣的生命、性情和丰满，为使我们能形成并构成为祂的召会，就是活神的家─约六46，八16，29，十10下，太十六18，提前三15。
B.　Jesus as the Apostle came to us with God to share God with us that we might partake of His divine life, nature, and fullness so that we might be formed and constituted into His church, the house of the living God—John 6:46; 8:16, 29; 10:10b; Matt. 16:18; 1 Tim. 3:15.
贰　基督是神家的建设者─来三2~6：
II.　Christ is the Builder of God's house—Heb. 3:2-6:
一　基督在祂的人性里是神建设的好材料，在祂的神性里又是建设者：
A.　Christ in His humanity is the good material for God's building, and in His divinity He is the Builder:
1　基督在祂的人性里是基石、（赛二八16、）房角石、（太二一42，徒四11、）顶石（亚四7）和活石（彼前二4），以产生我们为活石，作神属灵的殿（5）。─引用经文
1.　Christ in His humanity is the foundation stone (Isa. 28:16), the cornerstone (Matt. 21:42; Acts 4:11), the topstone (Zech. 4:7), and the living stone (1 Pet. 2:4) to produce us as living stones for God's spiritual house (v. 5).
2　基督不仅在祂的人性里是这建设的一部分，也在祂的神性里是建设者：
2.　Christ is not only a part of the building in His humanity but also the Builder in His divinity:
a　神在基督里，乃是在我们里面，将祂自己建造到我们全人里面，并将我们建造到祂里面─弗三17，约十四23。
a.　God in Christ is within us to build Himself into our being and to build us into His being—Eph. 3:17; John 14:23.
b　祂将祂的神性建造到我们的人性里，并将我们的人性建造到祂的神性里，好将祂的神性与我们的人性，调和成一个实体。
b.　He builds His divinity into our humanity and builds our humanity into His divinity in order to mingle and blend His divinity with our humanity into one entity.
二　我们是神活的、属灵的、生机的家（提前三15，彼前二5，弗二21~22），而基督乃是生机的建造神的家，就是祂的召会：─引用经文
B.　We are God's living, spiritual, organic house (1 Tim. 3:15; 1 Pet. 2:5; Eph. 2:21-22), and Christ builds God's house, His church, in an organic way:
1　主耶稣在马太十六章十八节预言，祂必建造祂的召会，而在祂的恢复中这预言的应验，要将祂带回来─启十九7。
1.　In Matthew 16:18 the Lord Jesus prophesied that He would build His church, and the fulfillment of this prophecy in His recovery will bring Him back—Rev. 19:7.
2　神生机建造之建筑计划的蓝图（来十一10），见于创世记一、二章：─引用经文
2.　The blueprint of God's architectural plan for His organic building (Heb. 11:10) is seen in Genesis 1 and 2:
a　创世记一章启示，神的心意是要得着一个团体的人，作为有祂形像的建筑，以彰显祂自己，并且这人要受托付，有祂的权柄，用祂的管治权征服并恢复地─创一26，来二5~6。
a.　Genesis 1 reveals that God's intention is to have a corporate man as a building in His image to express Himself, and this man is to be committed with His authority, using His dominion to subdue and recover the earth—Gen. 1:26; Heb. 2:5-6.
b　创世记二章启示，神完成祂定旨的路：
b.　Genesis 2 reveals the way that God fulfills His purpose:
（一）　神造人作器皿，使人有人的灵，好叫人能盛装神，接触神，接受神，并将神吸收到人的全人里面─创二7，徒九15，林后四7，约四24，弗二22。
(1).　God created man as a vessel with a human spirit that man might contain God, contact God, receive God, and assimilate God into his whole being— Gen. 2:7; Acts 9:15; 2 Cor. 4:7; John 4:24; Eph. 2:22.
（二）　神完成祂心意的第二步，乃是将人这个空的器皿放在生命树前，使人有分于、并充满祂这生命─创二9，约十四6，十10，六35，57，63。
(2).　God's second step in fulfilling His intention was to put man, His empty vessel, in front of the tree of life that man might partake of and be filled with Him as life—Gen. 2:9; John 14:6; 10:10b; 6:35, 57, 63.
（三）　生命树旁有一道河（创二10），这启示出我们一旦接受基督作生命，祂就在我们里面成为生命的水流─约七37~39，诗三六8~9，四六4。
(3).　Along with the tree there was a river (Gen. 2:10), revealing that once we receive Christ as life, He becomes the flow of life within us—John 7:37-39; Psa. 36:8-9; 46:4.
（四）　在河流那里有三种宝贵的材料（创二11~12），表征神圣的生命在我们里面涌流，将我们变化为宝贵的材料，为着神的建造─林前三12，林后三18，启二一18~21。
(4).　At the flow of the river were three kinds of precious materials (Gen. 2:11-12), signifying that the divine life flowing within us transforms us into precious materials for God's building—1 Cor. 3:12; 2 Cor. 3:18; Rev. 21:18-21.
（五）　神用亚当的肋骨建造夏娃，这乃是一幅图画，说出神在基督里、并用基督这独一的元素建造召会，以终极完成新耶路撒冷，就是终极的夏娃，作神团体、得了建造的彰显─创二22，约十九34，启二一2。
(5).　God's building of Eve with Adam's rib is a picture of His building the church in and with Christ as the unique element to consummate the New Jerusalem, which will be the ultimate Eve as God's corporate builded expression— Gen. 2:22; John 19:34; Rev. 21:2.
