Scripture Reading: Eph. 1:22-23; 4:11-12, 15-16; Col. 2:19; Rev. 1:11; 21:2-3
壹　地方召会是神完成建造基督身体的手续，为着建造新耶路撒冷：
I.　The local churches are the procedure for God to accomplish the building up of the Body of Christ for the building of the New Jerusalem:
一　根据启示录的主要异象，今世我们只能在以下三个地方之一：地方召会，（一至三章，）世界，（四至十六章，）或大巴比伦;（十七至二十章;）地方召会是达到新耶路撒冷（二一至二二章）的踏脚石：
A.　According to the major visions in the book of Revelation, we can be in only one of three places in this age—the local churches (chs. 1—3), the world (chs. 4—16), or Babylon the Great (chs. 17—20); the local churches are the stepping stones to the New Jerusalem (chs. 21—22):
1　基督的身体需要地方召会为其生存和功用─徒八1，十三1。
1.　The Body of Christ needs the local churches for its existence and function—Acts 8:1; 13:1.
2　地方召会是基督独一的身体在许多地方上的许多彰显─启一4，11。
2.　The local churches are the many expressions in many localities of the one Body of Christ—Rev. 1:4, 11.
3　照着新约神圣的启示，保守召会在实行上真正是一的召会立场，乃是由三个极重要的元素构成的：
3.　According to the divine revelation of the New Testament the ground of the church, which keeps the genuine oneness of the church in practicality, is constituted of three crucial elements:
a　第一个元素是基督宇宙身体独一的一，也就是称为“那灵的一”─弗四3，参约十七6，11，14~21，22~24。
a.　The first element is the unique oneness of the universal Body of Christ, which is called "the oneness of the Spirit"—Eph. 4:3; cf. John 17:6, 11, 14-21, 22-24.
b　第二个元素是地方召会的独一立场，也就是地方召会在其中建立并存在的地方─徒八1，十三1，罗十六1，林前一2。
b.　The second element is the unique ground of the locality in which a local church is established and exists—Acts 8:1; 13:1; Rom. 16:1; 1 Cor. 1:2.
c　第三个元素是合一之灵的实际，这灵乃是神圣三一活的实际─约壹五6，约十六13，弗四4~6。
c.　The third element is the reality of the Spirit of oneness, who is the living reality of the Divine Trinity—1 John 5:6; John 16:13; Eph. 4:4-6.
二　以弗所一章二十三节说，“召会是祂的身体”─这指明身体是召会内在的意义：
B.　Ephesians 1:22b-23a says, "the church, which is His Body"—this indicates that the Body is the intrinsic significance of the church:
1　神的召会是架构，基督的身体是生机体─弗四4~6：
1.　The church of God is the frame and the Body of Christ is the organism—Eph. 4:4-6.
a　若没有身体，召会就毫无意义。
a.　If there were no Body, the church would have no meaning.
b　我们需要在众地方召会里，使我们能被带进基督身体的实际─罗十二1~5。
b.　We need to be in the local churches so that we can be brought into the reality of the Body of Christ—Rom. 12:1-5.
c　地方召会几乎百分之九十是物质的，但地方召会该为着一个属灵的东西─基督的身体─林前十二12~13。
c.　The local churches are nearly ninety percent physical, but they should be for something spiritual—the Body of Christ—1 Cor. 12:12-13.
2　在启示录一章我们看见众地方召会，但在末后的两章，我们只看见一座城─启一11，二一2：
2.　In the first chapter of Revelation, we see the local churches, but in the last two chapters, we see only one city—Rev. 1:11; 21:2:
a　至终，众地方召会都要过去，惟独身体要存留，直到永远。
a.　Eventually, the local churches will be over; only the Body will remain forever.
b　基督身体的终极完成乃是神惟一的帐幕，作神在地上的居所，也就是羔羊惟一的新妇─启二一2~3。
b.　The Body of Christ in its ultimate consummation is the unique tabernacle of God, as God's dwelling place on this earth, the unique bride of the Lamb—Rev. 21:2-3.
三　主的渴望乃是要借着在众地方召会中先产生基督生机的身体，而得着新耶路撒冷：
C.　The Lord's desire is to gain the New Jerusalem through the precursor of the organic Body of Christ produced in the local churches:
1　得胜的神人建造基督的身体，为着建造并终极完成新耶路撒冷─参创二22，太十六18，启十九7，二一2。
1.　The overcoming God-men build up the Body of Christ for the building and consummating of the New Jerusalem—cf. Gen.2:22; Matt. 16:18; Rev. 19:7; 21:2.
2　即使在今天，新耶路撒冷仍在构建中;基督身体生机的建造，要终极完成新耶路撒冷─林前三9，12。
2.　Even today the New Jerusalem is still under construction; the organic building up of the Body of Christ consummates the New Jerusalem—1 Cor. 3:9. 12.
贰　当我们在神圣生命里长大，并将三一神供应给人，使他们在神圣生命中长大，我们就是在建造基督的身体，终极完成新耶路撒冷：
II.　As we grow in the divine life and minister the Triune God to others for their growth in the divine life, we are building up the Body of Christ, which will consummate the New Jerusalem:
一　基督身体生机的建造，乃是三一神在信徒里面的扩增，为着他们在作生命的基督里长大，使他们成为新耶路撒冷─西二19，弗二21~22：
A.　The organic building up of the Body of Christ is the increase of the Triune God in the believers for their growth in Christ as life for them to become the New Jerusalem—Col. 2:19; Eph. 2:21-22:
1　基督身体生机的建造就是基督身体的长大，这乃是借着身体的肢体在一切事上长到元首基督里面─弗四15~16。
1.　The organic building up of the Body is the growth of the Body through the members of the Body growing into Christ, the Head, in all things—Eph. 4:15-16.
2　基督的身体，乃是借着身体肢体以圣言的奶和干粮为食物而有生机的建造，这圣言就是那作神活话之基督的具体化─彼前二2，来五13~14。
2.　The organic building up of the Body of Christ is through the members of the Body feeding on the milk and food of the holy Word, the embodiment of Christ as the living Word of God—1 Pet. 2:2; Heb. 5:13-14.
二　基督身体生机的建造，也是借着圣徒得着成全作使徒、申言者、传福音者、牧人和教师所作的工作，使他们建造新耶路撒冷─弗四8，11~12，16，提后二1~2：
B.　The organic building up of the Body of Christ is also through the saints being perfected to do the work of the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the shepherds and teachers for them to build the New Jerusalem—Eph. 4:8, 11-12, 16; 2 Tim. 2:1-2:
1　圣徒借着成全人的恩赐，以生命的供应作滋养，而得成全，在生命里长大─林前三2，6。
1.　The saints are perfected by the perfecting gifts with the life supply as the nourishment for the growth in life—1 Cor. 3:2, 6.
2　身体是由基督所有的肢体各按自己的度量，主要的是在申言上，为主说话而尽功用，直接建造起来的─弗四16，林前十四4下，31。
2.　The Body is built directly by all the members of Christ functioning, each in his own measure, mainly in prophesying, speaking for the Lord—Eph. 4:16; 1 Cor. 14:4b, 31.
3　按照旧约祭司职分的预表，我们需要在新约福音祭司的职分里（罗十五16）得成全，作四件主要的事：─引用经文
3.　According to the type of the priesthood in the Old Testament, we need to be perfected in the New Testament priesthood of the gospel (Rom. 15:16) to do four main items:
a　正如祭司得成全，在祭坛献祭，（利六8~七38，）我们也需要得成全，享受基督作一切祭物的实际，并借着传福音，将罪人献给神作可悦纳的祭物─罗十五16。
a.　Just as the priests were perfected to offer the sacrifices at the altar (Lev. 6:8—7:38), we need to be perfected to enjoy Christ as the reality of all the offerings and to offer the saved sinners to God as acceptable sacrifices through the preaching of the gospel—Rom. 15:16.
b　正如祭司得成全，摆列陈设饼，（利二四5~8，出二五30，）我们也需要得成全，将基督分赐到人里面作他们生命的供应─徒五20，六4。
b.　Just as the priests were perfected to display the bread of the Presence (Lev. 24:5-8; Exo. 25:30), we need to be perfected to dispense Christ into people as the life supply—Acts 5:20; 6:4.
c　正如祭司得成全，修剪灯芯，把灯装满油，使灯台照耀明亮，（利二四1~4，）我们也需要得成全，被作为油的那灵所充满，而且凭那灵并在那灵里，将基督这神圣的光供应圣徒─徒二六18。
c.　Just as the priests were perfected to trim the wicks and fill the lamps with oil to make the lampstand shine brightly (Lev. 24:1-4), we need to be perfected to be filled with the Spirit as the oil and to minister Christ as the divine light with and in the Spirit to the saints—Acts 26:18.
d　正如祭司得成全而烧香，（出三十6~8，）我们也需要得成全，在祷告中与神交通，以交谈的方式与祂谈话，享受祂的同在，以实现祂的权益─弗六17~18，但六10。
d.　Just as the priests were perfected to burn the incense (Exo. 30:6-8), we need to be perfected to fellowship with God in prayer, talking to Him in a conversational way to enjoy His presence for the carrying out of His interests—Eph. 6:17-18; Dan. 6:10.
4　我们正在被成全作新约职事的工作，就是建造基督的身体，为着新耶路撒冷的建造─弗四11~12。
4.　We are being perfected to do the work of the New Testament ministry, that is, to build up the Body of Christ for the building of the New Jerusalem—Eph. 4:11-12.
