读经：西一12，二6~15，腓一19
Scripture Reading: Col. 1:12; 2:6-15; Phil. 1:19
壹　我们经历并享受包罗万有的基督，所产生的结果乃是召会，就是新人：
I.　The issue of our experience and enjoyment of the all-inclusive Christ is the church as the new man:
一　惟一能叫基督在新人里是一切，又在一切之内的路，乃是祂自己构成到我们里面。
A.　The only way Christ can be all and in all in the new man is for Him to constitute Himself into us.
二　我们由基督构成的过程，是借着我们享受基督而进行的─西一12，二16~17。
B.　The process of being constituted with Christ takes place through our enjoyment of Christ—Col. 1:12; 2:16-17.
贰　歌罗西二章六至七节启示，基督这美地是我们已经在其中生根的丰富土壤;我们借着从土壤里所吸收的元素而长大─参林前三6，9，西二19。
II.　Colossians 2:6-7 reveals that Christ as the good land is the rich soil in which we have been rooted so that we may grow with the elements that we absorb from the soil—cf. 1 Cor. 3:6, 9; Col. 2:19.
叁　歌罗西二章八至十五节完满的描述并说明，基督作土壤，我们在其中一无所缺;当我们花时间吸取祂这包罗万有的土地作我们的享受时，这些经文中的事实就成为我们的经历─参申八9：
III.　Colossians 2:8-15 presents a full description and definition of Christ as the soil, in which we do not lack anything; as we take time to absorb Him as the all-inclusive land for our enjoyment, the facts in these verses become our experience—cf. Deut. 8:9:
一　基督作土壤，乃是神格一切的丰满都有形有体的居住在祂里面的那一位─西二9：
A.　Christ as the soil is the One in whom all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily—Col. 2:9:
1　丰满不是指神的丰富，乃是指神丰富的彰显;那居住在基督里面的，不仅是神格的丰富，也是神所是之丰富的彰显─9节，一15，18，三10~11。
1.　Fullness refers not to the riches of God but to the expression of the riches of God; what dwells in Christ is not only the riches of the Godhead but the expression of the riches of what God is—v. 9; 1:15, 18; 3:10-11.
2　当我们在基督这土壤里生根，我们就在祂里面得了丰满;我们就被一切神圣的丰富所充满，而成为祂的彰显─弗三8，19。
2.　When we are rooted in Christ as the soil, we are made full in Him; we are filled up with all the divine riches to become His expression—Eph. 3:8, 19.
