Message Fifteen The Enemy Satan's Leavening of the Church
读经:太十三33,十六6,11~12,可八15,路十二1下,启二20,24,十七4~6,林前五7~8
Scripture Reading: Matt. 13:33; 16:6, 11-12; Mark 8:15; Luke 12:1b; Rev. 2:20, 24; 17:4-6; 1 Cor. 5:7-8
壹 “诸天的国好象面酵,有妇人拿去藏在三斗面里,直到全团都发了酵”─太十三33:
I. "The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until the whole was leavened"—Matt. 13:33:
一 召会既是实行的诸天之国,有基督那无酵的细面为内容,就必定是无酵的饼─林前五7~8:
A. The church, as the practical kingdom of the heavens, with Christ, the unleavened fine flour, as its content, must be a loaf of unleavened bread— 1 Cor. 5:7-8:
1 然而,表征天主教的这妇人,把酵(表征邪恶、异端、异教的事物)加在细面(表征基督是满足神和人的素祭)里─参利二4~5,11。
1. However, the woman, signifying the Catholic Church, added leaven (signifying evil, heretical, and pagan things) into the fine flour (signifying Christ as the meal offering for the satisfaction of God and man)—cf. Lev. 2:4-5, 11.
2 这妇人就是启示录十七章那将可憎之物与神圣事物混杂的大妓女;亚哈的异教妻子耶洗别,乃是这背道召会的预表─启十七4~6,王上十六31,十九1~2,王上二一23,25~26,王下九7。
2. This woman is the great harlot of Revelation 17, who mixes abominations with the divine things; Jezebel, the pagan wife of Ahab, is a type of this apostate church—vv. 4-6; 1 Kings 16:31; 19:1-2; 21:23, 25-26; 2 Kings 9:7.
3 天主教暗中使一切关于基督的教训都发了酵;主要把一切发过酵的真理恢复过来─参创十八6,太十五3,约十八37~38。
3. The Catholic Church has fully leavened in a hidden way all the teachings concerning Christ; the Lord wants to recover all the leavened truths—cf. Gen. 18:6; Matt. 15:3; John 18:37-38.
4 这样的发酵,完全违反了圣经,圣经是严禁在素祭中搀酵的─利二4~5,11。
4. Such leavening is absolutely against the Scriptures, which strongly forbid putting any leaven into the meal offering—Lev. 2:4-5, 11.
二 “要提防法利赛人的酵,就是假冒为善”─路十二1下:
B.  "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy"—Luke 12:1b:
1 法利赛人的教训是假冒为善的─太二三13~15,23,25~32,参启十七4:
1. The teaching of the Pharisees was hypocritical—Matt. 23:13, 15, 23, 25, 27, 29; cf. Rev. 17:4; Matt. 23:25-32; 16:15:
a 背道的召会不是用金子、珍珠、宝石坚固的建造起来的;她只是配戴这些财宝为妆饰,在外表上炫耀自己,作她外表的虚饰─4节。
a. The apostate church is not built in a solid way with gold, pearls, and precious stones; she is only gilded with these treasures as ornaments for outward display and a false appearance—Rev. 17:4.
b 亚干所犯的罪意义是,他贪爱一件巴比伦美好的衣服,要把自己妆饰一下,让自己体面一点,光彩一点─书七21。
b. The significance of Achan's sin was his coveting a beautiful Babylonian garment in his seeking to improve himself, to make himself look better, for the sake of appearance—Josh. 7:21.
2 法利赛人充满了野心和骄傲的酵─太二三6~7,参太二十20~28。
2. The Pharisees were filled with the leaven of ambition and pride—Matt. 23:6-7; cf. 20:20-28.
三 “你们要当心,提防法利赛人和撒都该人的酵。”(太十六6。)“门徒这才领悟祂所说的,不是叫他们提防饼的酵,乃是叫他们提防法利赛人和撒都该人的教训”(太十六12):
C. "Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees" (Matt. 16:6); "then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees" (v. 12):
1 撒都该人的教训就像今天摩登派的教训,否认复活、天使和灵。(徒二三8。)─引用经文
1. The teaching of the Sadducees denied the resurrection, angels, and spirits (Acts 23:8), like today's modernism.
2 因此法利赛人和撒都该人的教训,都是不纯净、邪恶的,并且被比作酵,就是不可在神的子民中间见到的─出十三7。
2. Hence, both the teaching of the Pharisees and the teaching of the Sadducees were impure and evil and were likened to leaven, which was not to be seen among God's people—Exo. 13:7.
四 “你们要…提防…希律的酵”─可八15:
D. "Beware of…the leaven of Herod"—Mark 8:15:
1 希律的酵是他政治上的败坏和不公正─参启十七1~2。
1. The leaven of Herod was his corruption and injustice in politics—cf. Rev. 17:1-2.
2 希律杀害施浸者约翰,指明撒但的仇恨,借着属世权势的黑暗与不公正,向奴仆救主忠信的先锋表现出来─可六26~27。
2. Herod's slaying of John the Baptist indicates Satan's hatred, expressed by the darkness and injustice of the worldly power, toward the faithful forerunner of the Slave-Savior—Mark 6:27.
贰 仇敌撒但使召会发酵,败坏了召会:
II. The enemy Satan has corrupted the church by leavening the church:
一 撒但使初期的召会发酵,由五旬节那日献给神的两个摇祭的饼所预表,(利二三15~17,)这可由行传五章一至十一节和六章一节的两个事例证实:─引用经文
A. Satan leavened the initial church, typified by the two wave-loaves offered to God on the day of Pentecost (Lev. 23:15-17), as confirmed by the cases in Acts 5:1-11 and 6:1.
1 亚拿尼亚和撒非喇装假,欺骗了圣灵─徒五1~11:
1. Ananias and Sapphira, in hypocrisy, lied to the Holy Spirit—Acts 5:1-11:
a 他们没有甘心乐意把一切都奉献给神,但是他们在人面前却假冒是完全奉献的;他们只不过是装假。
a. They were not willing to offer everything cheerfully to God, but before man, they acted as if they had offered all; they were just pretending.
b 一切为要得着人的荣耀所作假冒的事,都是凭着妓女的原则作的,不是凭着新妇的原则作的─约五44,十二42~43。
b. Everything done in falsehood to receive glory from man is done in the principle of the harlot, not in the principle of the bride—John 5:44; 12:42-43.
c 神的儿女能被拯救脱离在人面前的假装,而不从人得荣耀,就是一件大事─太六1~6,十五7~8。
c. It is a great matter for God's children to be delivered from pretending before man in order to receive glory from man—Matt. 6:1-6; 15:7-8.
d 假的奉献是罪,假的属灵也是罪;真正的敬拜是在灵和真实里─约四24。
d. False consecration is sin, and false spirituality is also sin; true worship is in spirit and in truthfulness—John 4:24.
2 行传六章一节给我们看见,在召会生活开始时,语言的不同造成了难处─参西三10~11。
2. Acts 6:1 shows that the beginning of the church life, trouble was caused by language differences—cf. Col. 3:10-11.

E. Satan leavened the church with Catholicism in the papal system, hierarchy, heresies, idolatry, and pagan practices—Rev. 2:18-29.
六 撒但用那按名是活的,其实是死的更正教的宗教阶级制度、不同的教训、传统、摩登派、世俗和分裂,使召会发酵─启三1~6。
F. Satan leavened the church with Protestantism in hierarchy, being living in name but dead in actuality, different teachings, traditions, modernism, worldliness, and divisions—3:1-6.
七 撒但用国家主义、种族主义、社会主义、自由主义和政治,使召会发酵─参西三10~11。
G. Satan leavened the church with nationalism, racialism, socialism, liberalism, and politics—cf. Col. 3:10-11.
八 撒但用信徒天然的人、肉体及其情欲、罪性和罪行、以及加拉太五章十九至二十一节(加五19~21)中所列一切邪恶的事,使召会发酵。─引用经文

叁 在我们基督徒生活的整个期间,我们需要享受基督作我们无酵的筵宴,就是无酵节的实际─林前五7~8,出十二15~20:
III. We need to enjoy Christ as our unleavened banquet, the reality of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for the entire period of our Christian life— 1 Cor. 5:7-8; Exo. 12:15-20:
一 这是很长的节期,我们守这节,不可用旧酵,就是旧性情的罪,乃要用无酵饼,就是新性情的基督,作我们的滋养和享受。
A. This is a long feast, which we must keep not with the sin our old nature, the old leaven, but with unleavened bread, which is the Christ of our new nature as our nourishment and enjoyment.
二 如果我们以基督作我们的代替而生活,有生命的新开始,并且对付所有被暴露的罪,就是我们生活中的酵,我们每日的生活就都是值得记念的─出十三4~9。
B. If we live with Christ as our substitute, have a new beginning of life, and deal with all exposed sin, the leaven in our lives, we shall have a daily living that is worthy of being a memorial—Exo. 13:4-9.
