Message Two The One New Man and the Lord's Present Recovery
读经：西一18，二17，三10~11，弗三16~1 7上，二15，箴二九18上，徒二六19
Scripture Reading: Col. 1:18; 2:17; 3:10-11; Eph. 3:16-17a; 2:15; Prov. 29:18a; Acts 26:19
壹　“在主恢复里领头的同工和长老们，必须领悟，主的恢复是担在他们的肩膀上。主的恢复将来如何，完全在于他们如何。”（神圣奥秘的范围，二一页）：
I.　"The co-workers and the elders, who take the lead in the Lord's recovery, must realize that the Lord's recovery is resting upon their shoulders. What the recovery will be depends upon what they will be" (The Divine and Mystical Realm, p. 24):
一　“我相当关心所有的同工和长老。他们许多人可能对于主的恢复是什么，没有完全的领会。”（一三~一四页。）
A.　"I am quite concerned for all the co-workers and elders. It may be that a good number of them do not have a complete understanding of what the Lord's recovery is" (p. 17).
二　“关于主当前的恢复，我盼望你们没有一人因着你们老旧的神学，或是你们对于恢复的老旧领会而受阻。”（一四页。）
B.　"Regarding the Lord's present recovery, I hope that none of you would be held back by your old theology or by your old understanding of the recovery" (p. 18).
贰　主的恢复不是一般基督教的工作;乃是将主的余民聚集起来，在召会中恢复神的国─太十六18。
II.　The Lord's recovery is not a common Christian work; it is the gathering of the Lord's remnant to recover God's kingdom in the church—Matt. 16:18.
叁　今天所要恢复的乃是神的经纶，神的经纶乃是以神中心的工作为中心─将祂自己在基督里作到祂所拣选的人里面，使祂自己与他们成为一─弗三16~17上：
III.　What is being recovered today is God's economy, which is centered on the central work of God—to work Himself in Christ into His chosen people, making Himself one with them—Eph. 3:16-17a:
一　神的目的是要使基督作祂经纶的中心，并使祂作所有信徒的一切─西一18，二17：
A.　God's intention is to make Christ the center of His economy and also to make Him everything to all the believers—Col. 1:18; 2:17:
1　神已定规，在祂的经纶中只有一位─祂的儿子，主耶稣基督─必须成为一切─太十七5。
1.　God has determined that in His economy only one person—His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ—must be everything—Matt. 17:5.
2　主在祂的恢复中，正在寻求恢复包罗万有的基督作赐生命的灵，将祂自己分赐到信徒里面，使他们成为祂活的身体，就是一个新人─林前十五45下，罗十二4~5，弗二15。
2.　In His recovery the Lord is seeking to recover the all-inclusive Christ as the life-giving Spirit, who imparts Himself into the believers and makes them His living Body, the one new man—1 Cor. 15:45b; Rom. 12:4-5; Eph. 2:15.
二　我们必须对神的经纶有清楚的异象，且受这异象支配、管制并指引─箴二九18上，徒二六19：
B.　We must have a clear vision of God's economy and be governed, controlled, and directed by this vision—Prov. 29:18a; Acts 26:19:
1　我们在主的恢复里是否稳固，并蒙保守免于分裂，乃在于我们所看见的异象─箴二九18上。
1.　Whether or not we are secure in the Lord's recovery and protected from division depends on the vision we have seen—Prov. 29:18a.
2　今天在主的恢复里，我们必须在神经纶的异象上刚强而不受摇动─徒二六19。
2.　Today in the Lord's recovery we must be strong and unshakable in the vision of God's economy—Acts 26:19.
三　我们在这里，乃是要在主的恢复中完成神的经纶;这与今天的宗教截然不同，也与基督教无法相合。
C.　We are here to carry out God's economy in His recovery, which is absolutely different from today's religion and which cannot be reconciled with Christianity.
肆　主恢复的目标是要产生一个新人─弗二15，四22~24，西三10~11：
IV.　The goal of the Lord's recovery is to bring forth the one new man—Eph. 2:15; 4:22-24; Col. 3:10-11:
一　在旧人里分裂并分布的，在新人里得着恢复─创十一5~9，徒二5~12，西三10~11：
A.　What was divided and scattered in the old man is recovered in the new man— Gen. 11:5-9; Acts 2:5-12; Col. 3:10-11:
1　在旧人里，人是分裂并分布的;在新人里，人被聚集并被作成一。
1.　In the old man, man was divided and scattered; in the new man, man is gathered and made one.
2　在世界上一个人越与众不同、越个人主义越好;这与神的经纶相违背，神的经纶是要聚集并作成一。
2.　In the world the more different and individualistic a person is, the better; this is contrary to God's economy, which is to gather and to make one.
3　脱去旧人就是脱去分裂并分布的人;穿上新人就是穿上聚集并是一的新人─弗四22，24。
3.　To put off the old man is to put off the divided and scattered man; to put on the new man is to put on the gathered and one new man—Eph. 4:22, 24.
二　主在祂恢复中一直在作，并祂现今正在作的，是产生一个新人，以祂自己为生命和人位，为着神的彰显─三17~19，西三4，10~11。
B.　What the Lord has been doing and is now doing in His recovery is bringing forth the one new man with Himself as the life and the person for God's expression—3:17-19; Col. 3:4, 10-11.
三　在新人里，我们众人乃是一个人;众人是一个人，这要求是极高的─弗二15：
C.　In the one new man all of us are one man; the requirement that everyone be only one man is exceedingly high—Eph. 2:15:
1　为着一个新人的实际出现，我们需要一同起来，接受基督作我们的人位─加二20，弗三17上。
1.　For the practical existence of the one new man, we need to rise up together to take Christ as our person—Gal. 2:20; Eph. 3:17a.
2　那些有恩赐的人，都该以此为他们的目标，并成全圣徒接受基督作他们的人位─四11~13。
2.　Those who are gifted should take this as their goal and perfect the saints in taking Christ as their person—4:11-13.
3　“圣经里面说到召会，说到一个境地，说召会乃是一个新人。在这个新人里头，…除了人位，就没有别的。这是高到不能再高，严密到不能再严密，亲密到了不能再亲密的地步。大家是一个新人，在这个新人里只有一个人位，这个人位就是主耶稣。”（一个身体一位灵一个新人，九二页。）
3.　"Ultimately the Bible speaks of the church as the one new man….In the new man, there is nothing but the person. This level is so high that it cannot be higher, so strict it cannot be stricter, and so intimate it cannot be more intimate. All are one new man; this one new man has only one person, and this person is the Lord Jesus" (One Body, One Spirit, and One New Man, pp. 82-83).
四　在这时代末了的日子，在主能回来以前，我们必须看见一个身体和一个新人─林前十二12，弗四4，二15，四24。
D.　In the last days of this age, before the Lord will be able to return, we must see the one Body and the one new man—1 Cor. 12:12; Eph. 4:4; 2:15; 4:24.
五　这一个新人将引进神的国，并把君王基督带回这地上─启十一15。
E.　The one new man will usher in the kingdom of God and will bring Christ, the King, back to this earth—Rev. 11:15.
六　“今天一切都成熟、准备就绪、预备好为着新人的产生。我们都必须看见我们在那里。我们处在末了的时刻，这是最珍贵的时刻;这是为着主恢复的正确时刻。我们必须开广我们的视野。”（一个新人，二五页。）
F.　"Today everything is ripe, ready, and prepared for the new man to come forth. We all have to see where we are. We are at the end time, and this is the most golden time. This is the right time for the Lord's recovery. Our view must be broadened" (The One New Man, p. 27).
七　“主今天正在地上作这个工，这是主今日恢复的目标。全世界爱祂、追求祂、跟随祂的人，都要在这一个心思的灵里得以更新，而成为一个新人，以祂为我们的人位，凭祂活着。这是主今天所要的。”（一个身体一位灵一个新人，一一三页。）
G.　"The Lord today is doing this work on the earth, and this is the goal of the Lord's recovery today. All those who love Him, pursue Him, and follow Him on the entire earth today must be renewed in the spirit of their mind to become the one new man, taking Him as their person and living by Him. This is what the Lord wants today" (One Body, One Spirit, and One New Man, p. 101).
