第三篇　神经纶的恢复
Message Three The Recovery of God's Economy
读经：弗一10，三8~10，提前一4
Scripture Reading: Eph. 1:10; 3:8-10; 1 Tim. 1:4
壹　神的经纶是借着使徒们揭示的，但因着信徒失去了对神的经纶正确的领会，这就需要恢复;所以今天正在恢复的乃是神的经纶─弗三8~10，提前一4：
I.　God's economy was unveiled through the apostles, but because the believers lost the proper understanding of God's economy, there is the need for it to be recovered; therefore, what is being recovered today is God's economy—Eph. 3:8-10; 1 Tim. 1:4:
一　圣经主要的点是论到神的经纶，但在基督教里几乎没有人谈到神的经纶。
A.　The major point in the Bible concerns God's economy, yet in Christianity nearly no one talks about God's economy.
二　今天基督教整个的光景是在堕落中;堕落就是失去凡神所启示关于祂新约经纶的事：
B.　The entire situation of today's Christianity is in degradation; to be degraded is to lose whatever God has revealed concerning His New Testament economy:
1　圣经向我们陈明神经纶完满的图画，从神创造宇宙，到新耶路撒冷的终极完成─启二一1~2。
1.　The Bible presents us a full picture of God's economy from His creation of the universe to the consummation of the New Jerusalem—Rev. 21:1-2.
2　任何使圣徒们偏离神经纶的中心线和终极目标的道理，就是不同的教训，和撒但的欺骗─提前一4，弗四14。
2.　Any doctrine that causes the saints to deviate from the central line and ultimate goal of God's economy is a different teaching and a deception of Satan—1 Tim. 1:4; Eph. 4:14.
三　主恢复的目标是要把我们带回到神新约的经纶，就是基督与召会─五32。
C.　The goal of the recovery is to bring us back to God's New Testament economy, which is Christ and the church—5:32.
四　在主恢复里该专注、强调并供应的一件事，就是神新约的经纶─提前一4。
D.　The one thing that should be focused on, stressed, and ministered in the Lord's recovery is the New Testament economy of God—1 Tim. 1:4.
五　神永远的经纶乃是整本圣经的中心线;解经应该严格受这中心线管制，并在其充足的光照之下─路二四27，32，44。
E.　The eternal economy of God is the central line of the entire Scripture; the interpretation of the Scripture should be strictly governed by this central line under its adequate enlightenment—Luke 24:27, 32, 44.
六　主的恢复就是神经纶的恢复。
F.　The Lord's recovery is simply the recovery of God's economy.
贰　神的经纶以神独一的工作为中心─在基督里将祂自己作到祂所拣选的人里面，使祂自己与他们成为一─弗三16~21：
II.　God's economy is centered on God's unique work—to work Himself in Christ into His chosen people, making Himself one with them—Eph. 3:16-21:
一　神新约的经纶是要使经过过程的三一神作到我们里面，成为我们的生命和我们的所是─加一15~16，四19。
A.　God's New Testament economy is for the processed Triune God to be wrought into us to become our life and our very being—Gal. 1:15-16; 4:19.
二　主的恢复就是三一神分赐到祂的赎民里面─林后十三14。
B.　The Lord's recovery is the Triune God dispensed into His redeemed people—2 Cor. 13:14.
三　神的心愿是要恢复三一神分赐到祂的赎民里面，使祂能成为他们的所是，这要产生召会生活。
C.　God's desire is to have a recovery of the Triune God dispensed into His redeemed people, so that He would become their being and that this would issue in the church life.
四　神的经纶是要将基督分赐到祂的选民里面，使他们能首先成为基督的身体，然后成为基督的新妇与祂相配，并完成神在神圣分赐里的经纶─弗四16，启十九7。
D.　God's economy is to dispense Christ into His elect that they might become first the Body of Christ and then the bride of Christ to match Him and fulfill God's economy in the divine dispensing—Eph. 4:16; Rev. 19:7.
五　神永远的经纶是要得着一班人，使祂能将祂自己分赐到他们里面，作他们的生命和一切，好叫他们能与祂联结为一，被祂充满、占有，在地上与祂成为一个实体，作基督的身体，召会，使祂得着彰显─弗一3~23。
E.　God's eternal economy is to gain a group of people that He may dispense Himself into them to be their life and everything so that they may be joined to Him as one, be filled and occupied with Him, and be one entity with Him on the earth to be the Body of Christ, the church, for His expression—Eph. 1:3-23.
叁　我们在主的恢复里必须对神的经纶有清楚的异象：
III.　We in the Lord's recovery must have a clear vision of God's economy:
一　我们需要被带到另一个范围里，不是所谓属灵的范围，而是神经纶的范围─启二一9~10。
A.　We need to be brought into another realm, not the so-called spiritual realm but the realm of God's economy—Rev. 21:9-10.
二　我们需要受这异象管制、控制并指引─箴二九18上。
B.　We need to governed, controlled, and directed by this vision—Prov. 29:18a.
三　我们必须在神经纶、神永远定旨的异象上刚强不动摇─启四11，林前十五58。
C.　We must be strong and unshakable in the vision of God's economy, God's eternal will—Rev. 4:11; 1 Cor. 15:58.
四　我们若爱主和祂的恢复，我们若在主的恢复里认真实行召会生活，就需要竭力，以看见关于神经纶的一切异象─耶二九13，三三3，申二九29。
D.　If we love the Lord and His recovery and if we mean business to practice the church life in the recovery, we need to endeavor to see all the visions concerning God's economy—Jer. 29:13; 33:3; Deut. 29:29.
肆　主需要祂的家和祂的国，好完成祂永远的经纶─弗二19，提前三15，太六33，启十一15：
IV.　The Lord needs His house and His kingdom in order to carry out His eternal economy—Eph. 2:19; 1 Tim. 3:15; Matt. 6:33; Rev. 11:15:
一　神的仇敌撒但篡夺了地，使地作了他的家和他的国;这引起了大难处。
A.　Satan, the enemy of God, has usurped the earth, keeping the earth as his house and his kingdom; this has caused a great problem.
二　神需要一班子民，因为祂要得着一个家，使祂在其中为父，也要得着一个国，使祂在其中为王。
B.　God needs a people because He wants a house where He is the Father and a kingdom where He is the King.
三　因着神需要一个家和一个国，所以祂需要祂的子民从被掳归回;为此祂需要这个恢复─拉一1~5。
C.　Because God needs a house and a kingdom, He needs a return of His people from their captivity; for this He needs the recovery—Ezra 1:1-5.
伍　在以西结一章十五至二十一节，神的经纶被比作一个大轮：─引用经文
V.　In Ezekiel 1:15-21 God's economy is likened to a great wheel:
一　这轮的轴表征基督是神经纶的中心。
A.　The hub of this wheel signifies Christ as the center of God's economy.
二　轮辋表征基督的配偶召会，终极完成于新耶路撒冷。
B.　The rim signifies Christ's counterpart, the church, which consummates in the New Jerusalem.
三　许多信徒作基督的肢体，乃是轮轴的轮辐，扩展至轮辋，就是基督的身体终极完成于新耶路撒冷。
C.　The many believers as the members of Christ are the spokes of the hub spreading to the rim, to the Body of Christ consummating in the New Jerusalem.
四　这大轮就是神经纶的行动。
D.　This great wheel is the moving of the economy of God.
陆　神的经纶需要我们的合作─林前六17，约十五4：
VI.　God's economy requires our cooperation—1 Cor. 6:17; John 15:4:
一　与神合作，意即与基督绑在一起，凭一个生命，与祂同过一个生活─腓一19~21上。
A.　To cooperate with God means to be bound together with Christ and to have one living with Him by one life—Phil. 1:19-21a.
二　今天许多基督徒为他们的亨通、健康、或家庭祷告，一点都不顾到神的经纶，因而篡夺了神─参撒上四3~7：
B.　Today many Christians usurp God by praying for their prosperity, health, or family without any consideration of God's economy—cf. 1 Sam. 4:3-7:
1　我们不可篡夺神，乃要照着神的心，为着祂的经纶祷告、生活并为人─太六33，五8，提后二22。
1.　Instead of usurping God, we must pray, live, and be according to God's heart and for His economy—Matt. 6:33; 5:8; 2 Tim. 2:22.
2　哈拿的祷告乃是回应神心头的愿望─为着神的经纶与神圣的行动合作─撒上一10~20。
2.　Hannah's prayer was an echo of the heart's desire of God—a cooperation with the divine move for God's economy—1 Sam. 1:10-20.
3　我们需要有一种祷告，是对神心上之事的回应;这就是说，我们在祷告中所说的，正是神要我们说的─约十四13~14，十五7，16，十六23~24。
3.　We need to pray something that is an echo of what is on God's heart; this means that what we say in our prayer is exactly what God wants us to speak—John 14:13-14; 15:7, 16; 16:23-24.
三　神的经纶在祂子民中间得着实施，祂的子民就蒙福─罗十五29：
C.　When God's economy is carried out among His people, they are blessed— Rom. 15:29:
1　我们不该在神的经纶以外寻求自己的福乐。
1.　We should not seek our well-being apart from God's economy.
2　这就是说，我们的幸福，我们的福乐，完全联于神经纶的完成;因为这点失去了，所以需要恢复─太六33。
2.　This means that our welfare, our well-being, is altogether linked to the carrying out of God's economy; because this has been lost, it needs to be recovered—Matt. 6:33.
四　基督徒的生活乃是为着神经纶的生活─林后五14~15。
D.　The Christian life is a life that is for God's economy—2 Cor. 5:14-15.
五　我们在这里要完成神在祂恢复里的经纶。
