壹 我们要在复活里生活,就必须看见关于基督复活这个揭示的真理:
I. In order to live in resurrection, we must see the unveiled truth concerning Christ's resurrection:
一 在人性里的基督,在复活里由神生为神的长子─徒十三33,罗八29下。
A. Christ in His humanity was begotten by God in His resurrection to be the firstborn Son of God—Acts 13:33; Rom. 8:29b.
二 基督所有的信徒,都是由父神藉着基督的复活所重生,为着产生召会作基督的身体,就是祂的复制─彼前一3,约十二24,林前十17。
B. All the believers of Christ were regenerated by God the Father through the resurrection of Christ for the producing of the church as His Body, His reproduction—1 Pet. 1:3; John 12:24; 1 Cor. 10:17.
三 基督这末后的亚当,成了赐生命的灵─林前十五45下。
C. Christ as the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit—1 Cor. 15:45b.
四 没有主复活的这些主要项目(神的长子、神的许多儿子、和赐生命的灵),就没有召会,没有基督的身体,也没有神的经纶─参西一18,林前十二12,弗四4。
D. Without these major items of the Lord's resurrection (the firstborn Son of God, the many sons of God, and the life-giving Spirit), there would be no church, no Body of Christ, and no economy of God—cf. Col. 1:18; 1 Cor. 12:12; Eph. 4:4.
贰 那灵乃是三一神的实际,复活的实际,基督身体的实际:
II. The Spirit is the reality of the Triune God, the reality of resurrection, and the reality of the Body of Christ:
一 经过过程之三一神的实际,乃是终极完成之实际的灵─约十四17,十五26,十六13,约壹五6。
A. The reality of the processed Triune God is the consummated Spirit of reality—John 14:17; 15:26; 16:13; 1 John 5:6.

三 实际的灵使经过过程之三一神的一切,在基督的身体里成为实际─约十六13~15。

四 没有那灵就没有基督的身体,没有召会─弗四4。
D. Without the Spirit there is no Body of Christ, no church—Eph. 4:4.
叁 我们要在基督身体的实际里,就需要完全在基督的复活里:
III. In order to be in the reality of the Body of Christ, we need to be absolutely in the resurrection life of Christ:
一 召会完全是出于基督的元素,完全是在复活里,也完全是在诸天界里─彼前一3,弗二6,参创二21~24。
A. The church is absolutely of the element of Christ, absolutely in resurrection, and absolutely in the heavenlies—1 Pet. 1:3; Eph. 2:6; cf. Gen. 2:21-24.
二 金灯台预表召会是基督的身体,描绘基督是复活的生命,要长大、分枝、发芽、开花,好发光照耀─出二五31~40,民十七8,启一11~12。
B. The golden lampstand, typifying the church as the Body of Christ, portrays Christ as the resurrection life, growing, branching, budding, and blossoming to shine the light—Exo. 25:31-40; Num. 17:8; Rev. 1:11-12.
三 当我们不凭我们天然的生命,乃凭我们里面神圣的生命而活时,我们就在复活里;这种生活的结果就是基督的身体─腓三10~11:
C. When we do not live by our natural life, but live by the divine life within us, we are in resurrection; the issue of this is the Body of Christ—Phil. 3:10-11:
1 我们都需要被主构成门徒,成为神圣且奥秘的人,否认我们天然的生命,而活神圣的生命─参约三8。
1. We all need to be discipled by the Lord to be divine and mystical persons, living the divine life by denying our natural life—cf. John 3:8.
2 任何事,即使是合乎圣经的,却是在天然生命里作的,都不是基督身体的实际─林前三12。
2. Anything that is carried out even scripturally but in the natural life is not the reality of the Body of Christ—1 Cor. 3:12.
肆 我们要在复活里活着,就必须认识、经历、并得着复活的神─林后一8~9:
IV. In order to live in resurrection we must know, experience, and gain the God of resurrection—2 Cor. 1:8-9:
一 神一直藉着十字架作工,了结我们,领我们到尽头,使我们不再信靠自己,只信靠复活的神─林后一9。
A. God is working through the cross to terminate us, to bring us to an end, so that we will no longer trust in ourselves but in the God of resurrection—v. 9.
二 虽然活的神能为人作许多事,活神的生命和性情却没有作到人里面;当复活的神作工时,祂的生命和性情就作到人里面─林后四16:
B. While the living God can perform many acts on man's behalf, the life and nature of the living God are not wrought into man; when the God of resurrection works, His life and nature are wrought into man—4:16.

3. In order to live in resurrection and be constituted with the God of resurrection, we must be conformed to the image of Christ as the firstborn Son of God through "all things"—Rom. 8:28-29; Heb. 12:10; Jer. 48:11.
4 这宇宙中的苦难,特别是对于神的儿女,其主要的目的乃是藉着苦难,神的性情得以作到人的性情里,使人能得着神,达到极完满的地步─林后四16。
4. The primary purpose of suffering in this universe, particularly as it relates to the children of God, is that through it the very nature of God may be wrought into the nature of man so that man may gain God to the fullest extent—2 Cor. 4:16.
5 当我们经过患难时,在我们里面天天需要有不断的更新,好使神完成祂心头的愿望,使我们成为新耶路撒冷─结三六26,林后五17,启二一2。
5. As we pass through afflictions, there needs to be a continual renewing taking place in us day by day so that God can accomplish His heart's desire to make us the New Jerusalem—Ezek. 36:26; 2 Cor. 5:17; Rev. 21:2.

a 我们凭着十字架、圣灵、我们调和的灵、以及神的话得更新─林后四10,多三5,弗四23,五26。
