第二篇　基督身体的构成
Message Two The Constitution of the Body of Christ
读经：弗四4~6
Scripture Reading: Eph. 4:4-6
壹　“我们都必须看见身体，作身体的工作。一切的难处，无论是召会中的，或个人生活中的，都是由于不认识身体。”（圣经中管制并支配我们的异象，三一页。）
I.　"We all must see the Body and do the work of the Body. All our problems, whether in the church or in our personal life, are due to our lack of seeing the Body" (The Governing and Controlling Vision in the Bible, p. 33).
贰　神不只有物质方面的定律，也有属灵方面的定律─罗八2：
II.　God has laws not only on the physical side but also on the spiritual side— Rom. 8:2:
一　属灵的定律比物质的定律更严谨─民十八1~32。
A.　The spiritual laws are stricter than the physical laws—Num. 18.
二　我们一摸着神属灵的工作，就非受祂的定律限制不可。
B.　When we touch the spiritual work of God, we must be restricted by His laws.
叁　神成为人并人成为神的结果，乃是一个生机体─基督的身体，就是神与人的联结并调和─罗八3，一3~4，十二4~5：
III.　The issue of God becoming man and man becoming God is an organism— the Body of Christ, the union and mingling of God with man—Rom. 8:3; 1:3-4; 12:4-5:
一　惟有借着神成为人，使人成为神，基督的身体才得以产生出来;这点是神所赐给我们神圣启示的高峰。
A.　It is only by God's becoming man to make man God that the Body of Christ can be produced; this point is the high peak of the divine revelation given to us by God.
二　神正在使我们这些作祂儿女的，在生命和性情上与祂一样，好使祂能为基督产生一个身体─八16，十二4~5。
B.　God is making us, His children, the same as He is in life and in nature that He might produce a Body for Christ—8:16; 12:4-5.
三　借着重生、圣别、更新、变化、模成与得荣，我们就成了神，为着产生基督的身体─2节，八29~30。
C.　Through regeneration, sanctification, renewing, transformation, conformation, and glorification, we become God for the producing of the Body of Christ—v. 2; 8:29-30.
四　“神”是我们的姓氏;我们是姓“神”。
D.　God is our family name; our last name is God.
肆　基督的身体是召会的内在意义─弗一22~23：
IV.　The Body is the intrinsic significance of the church—Eph. 1:22-23:
一　如果没有身体，召会就没有意义;没有身体，召会是没有意义的，但有了身体，召会就有内在的意义─林前一2，十二12，27，启二1，5。
A.　If there were no Body, the church would have no meaning; without the Body, the church makes no sense, but with the Body, there is the intrinsic signifi-cance of the church—1 Cor. 1:2; 12:12, 27; Rev. 2:1, 5.
二　神的召会是架构，而基督的身体乃是生机体。
B.　The church of God is the frame, and the Body of Christ is the organism.
三　众地方召会是将我们带进基督身体的手续。
C.　The local churches are a procedure to bring us into the Body of Christ.
四　地方召会主要是物质的，却该是为着属灵的一面─基督的身体，就是那看不见之神的生机体。
D.　The local churches, which are mainly physical, should be for something spiritual— the Body of Christ, the organism of the unseen God.
五　“基督的身体…是众地方召会的源头。这样一个宇宙的身体对众召会就像父亲，众召会就像这父亲的儿女。”（召会生活中引起风波的难处，三二页。）
E.　"The Body of Christ is the source of the local churches. Such a universal Body is like the father to all the churches, and all the churches are like the children to the father" (The Problems Causing the Turmoils in the Church Life, p. 33).
伍　我们需要魂游象外，好看见以弗所四章中基督身体的内在观点─徒十9~10，十一5，二二17：
V.　We need to receive a trance so that we may see the intrinsic view of the Body of Christ in Ephesians 4—Acts 10:9-10; 11:5; 22:17:
一　我们需要求主给我们魂游象外的经历，把我们从看得见的环境，迁移到看不见的景象里。
A.　We need the Lord to give us a trance that transfers us from the visible circumstances to the invisible scene.
二　我们必须经历魂游象外，被迁移到另一个领域里，好看见基督身体内在的一面是什么。
B.　We must have a trance and be transferred into another sphere in order to see what the Body of Christ is intrinsically.
陆　以弗所四章四至六节是使徒保罗对于基督身体的结晶说法：
VI.　Ephesians　4:4-6 is the crystallized speaking of the apostle Paul concerning the Body of Christ:
一　三一神和我们蒙救赎的人有一个调和的构成，这个构成就是基督的身体。
A.　The Triune God and we, the redeemed, are mingled into a constitution, and this constitution is the Body of Christ.
二　三一神与蒙拣选、得救赎的人构成一个生机的实体，就是基督的身体;这就是基督身体的结晶意义。
B.　The Triune God and His chosen and redeemed people are constituted into one organic entity, which is the Body of Christ; this is the crystallized significance of the Body of Christ.
三　基督的身体乃是三一神和祂所救赎之人的结构;这个结构是以蒙神所救赎的人为外在的架构，以三一神为内部的成分。
C.　The Body of Christ is constituted with the Triune God and His redeemed people, with His redeemed people as the outward framework and the Triune God as the inward element.
四　构成基督身体的，有两种素质：
D.　Two essences constitute the Body of Christ:
1　一种素质是经过过程的三一神，这是神圣的元素;另一种素质是三部分的重生之人，那是属人的元素;这两种元素就是两种构成成分。
1.　One essence is the processed Triune God, which is the divine element, and the other essence is the tripartite regenerated man, which is the human element; these two elements are two constituents.
2　三一神这构成成分进到我们里面，与我们三部分的人调和，产生基督的身体。
2.　The constituent of the Triune God enters into us to mingle with us, the tripartite man, to produce the Body of Christ.
五　以弗所四章四至六节陈明基督身体真实的景象：
E.　Ephesians 4:4-6 presents the real scenery of the Body of Christ:
1　这几节里的四个人位─身体、灵、主、以及神与父，是一组，并且活跃的调和在一起，看见这个乃是大亮光。
1.　It is a great light to see that in these verses four persons—the Body, the Spirit, the Lord, and God the Father—are grouped together and are actively mingled together.
2　那灵、主和父，正在作一件工作─将祂们自己与身体调在一起。
2.　The Spirit, the Lord, and the Father are doing one work—to mingle Themselves with the Body.
3　父具体化身在子里，子实化成为那灵，那灵与信徒调和;这调和就是基督身体的构成。
3.　The Father is embodied in the Son, the Son is realized as the Spirit, and the Spirit is mingled with the believers; this mingling is the constitution of the Body of Christ.
4　以弗所四章四至六节里的四个人位，形成一个单元，一个实体，这实体就是基督的身体。
4.　The four persons in Ephesians 4:4-6 form a unity, an entity, and this entity is the Body of Christ.
六　“基督身体的精意，结晶，就是三一神和祂所拣选而救赎的人构造、构建在一起，成为一个构造体、构建体。我们若没有看见这个结晶的意义，没有看见基督身体的精意，我们在今天的召会里，无论怎么作，都没有办法、没有路。我们若看见这个精意，一切就没有问题。”（圣经中管制并支配我们的异象，二六页。）
F.　"The essential, crystallized significance of the Body of Christ is that the Triune God is constituted with His chosen and redeemed people to become a constitution, a constituted entity. Unless we see this crystallized, essential significance of the Body of Christ, there will be no way to carry out what we are trying to do in the church today. If we see this essential significance, there will be no problem whatever" (The Governing and Controlling Vision in the Bible, pp. 28-29).
