第一篇　藉着以基督为我们的榜样而同魂、思念相同的事、有相同的爱
Message One To be One Soul, and to Think the Same Thing, Having the Same Love, through Taking Christ as Our Pattern
读经：腓二2，5。
Scripture Reading: Phil. 2:2, 5
壹　在腓立比书里，经历并享受基督乃是身体的事：
I.　In the book of Philippians, the experience and enjoyment of Christ are a Body matter:
一　保罗留在肉身里，是为着圣徒在信仰上的进步和喜乐─腓一24~25。
A.　Paul remained in the flesh for the saints' progress and joy of the faith—1:24-25.
二　保罗的喜乐得以满足，指明他与信徒之间双向的来往交通─腓二1~4：
B.　Paul's joy being made full indicates fellowship as a two-way traffic between him and the believers—2:1-4.
1　经历基督在于使徒与信徒之间有正确相互的关系。
1.　The experience of Christ is a matter of proper mutuality between the apostle and the believers.
2　我们对使徒的态度是我们光景的考验。
2.　Our attitude toward the apostle is a test of our condition.
3　信徒与使徒之间合式的交通，乃是对基督正常经历的保障。
3.　The proper fellowship between the believers and the apostle is a safeguard to the normal experience of Christ.
三　保罗被构成奠祭，浇奠在信徒信心的祭物上─腓二17节。
C.　Paul, being constituted a drink offering, was poured out upon the sacrifice of the believers' faith—v. 17.
四　保罗寻求基督，结果产生对召会的关切─腓二20~21节。
D.　Paul's seeking after Christ resulted in a concern for the church—vv. 20-21.
贰　经历基督的秘诀，乃是在魂里是一，或魂里联结─腓一27，二2，20~21：
II.　The secret of the experience of Christ is to be one in soul or joined in soul—1:27; 2:2, 20-21:
一　我们若单单在灵里是一，而不是魂里联结，我们在经历基督上就会受阻挠，受限制─腓四2。
A.　If we are only one in spirit but are not joined in soul, we will be hindered and limited in our experience of Christ—4:2.
二　魂里的不同是分裂的主要原因─林前一10。
B.　Differences in the soul are the primary cause of division—1 Cor. 1:10.
三　因为提摩太与保罗同魂，他就有地位在基督的身体里经历基督到极点─腓二19~20。
C.　Because Timothy was like-souled with Paul, he was in a position to experience Christ to the uttermost in the Body—Phil. 2:19-20.
四　为着享受基督，我们需要这样的“同魂”─腓二2节：
D.　For the enjoyment of Christ we need such a "co-soul"—v. 2:
1　在我们的心思里思念相同的事，拯救我们脱离意见─腓二2节上。
1.　Thinking the same thing in our mind delivers us from opinions—v. 2a.
2　在我们的情感里有相同的爱，拯救我们脱离蜜，就是对圣徒不同程度的爱─腓二2节中。
2.　Having the same love in our emotion delivers us from the honey of having different levels of love for the saints—v. 2b.
五　在福音的交通上在魂里是一，拯救我们脱离嫉妒争竞，以及私图好争─腓一5，15，17。
E.　Being one in soul in the fellowship of the gospel delivers us from envy, strife, and selfish ambition—1:5, 15, 17.
叁　使我们能在魂里是一，惟一的路就是以基督为我们的榜样─彼前二21：
III.　The only way that we can be one in soul is by taking Christ as　our pattern—1 Pet. 2:21:
一　基督倒空自己，取了奴仆的形状，成为人的样式，降卑自己，顺从至死，且死在十字架上─腓二7~8。
A.　Christ emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men, humbling Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the cross—Phil. 2:7-8.
二　这榜样就在我们里面─西一27，腓一19，二13。
B.　This pattern is within us—Col. 1:27; Phil. 1:19; 2:13.
三　以基督为我们榜样的路，就是藉着活出钉十字架的生命─路九23，腓三10。
C.　The way to take Christ as our pattern is by living the crucified life—Luke 9:23; Phil 3:10.
四　藉着以基督为我们的榜样，我们就有祂的心思，思念相同的事─腓二2下，5，四2。
D.　By taking Christ as our pattern we have His mind to think the same thing— 2:2c, 5; 4:2.
