第八篇　神命定之路
Message Eight The God-ordained Way
读经：罗十五16，彼前二5，9，徒二十20，28，林前十四26，来十24~25
Scripture Reading: Rom. 15:16; 1 Pet. 2:5, 9; Acts 20:20, 28; 1 Cor. 14:26; Heb. 10:24-25
壹　神命定之路就是为着建造基督的身体那合乎圣经的聚会与事奉之路：
I.　The God-ordained way is the scriptural way to meet and to serve for the building up of the Body of Christ:
一　若没有合乎圣经的聚会与事奉之路，就是新约所给我们看见的路，主关于建造召会的话就无法应验─太二四35，十六18，弗四11~16。
A.　Without the biblical way for us to meet and to serve, the way that is shown in the New Testament, the Lord's words concerning the building up of the church cannot be fulfilled—Matt. 24:35; 16:18; Eph. 4:11-16.
二　如果林前十四章二十六节和希伯来十章二十四至二十五节不应验，就无法建造神的家和基督的身体;召会是一个生机体，乃是由所有在福音祭司体系中，并在彼此互相的聚会里尽功用的圣徒建造起来的─罗十五16，林前十四4下，31。
B.　If 1 Corinthians 14:26 and Hebrews 10:24-25 are not fulfilled, there is no way for the building up of the house of God and of the Body of Christ; the church as an organism is built up by all the saints functioning in the priesthood of the gospel and in meetings in mutuality—Rom. 15:16; 1 Cor. 14:4b, 31.
贰　神所命定、合乎圣经的聚会与事奉之路，由所有的圣徒作为基督身体的活肢体尽功用，这路与传统、天然的聚会与事奉之路相反，传统的路是在主所恨恶的圣品阶级与平信徒制度的原则里─启二6，15：
II.　The God-ordained way, the scriptural way, to meet and serve with all the saints functioning as living members of the Body of Christ is versus the traditional way, the natural way, to meet and serve in the principle of the clergy-laity system, which the Lord hates—Rev. 2:6, 15:
一　传统的路是天然的，并采用人类社会为着宗教的路─“随从列国的风俗”─王下十七8，参林前十二2~3，诗一○○1，一一五4~8。
A.　The traditional way is natural and adopts the way of human society for religion—"in the customs of the nations"—2 Kings 17:8, NASB; cf. 1 Cor. 12:2-3; Psa. 100:1; 115:4-8.
二　传统的路适合人天然堕落的光景，是宗教的，并迁就死人的口味─参太二五23~30。
B.　The traditional way fits man's natural and fallen condition, is religious, and accommodates the dead man's taste—cf. Matt. 25:23-30.
三　传统的路是搀杂的路，将属肉体的与属灵的，以及属天的与属地的搀杂在一起─十三33，启十七4。
C.　The traditional way is a way of mixture, mixing the fleshly with the spiritual and the heavenly with the earthly—13:33; Rev. 17:4.
四　传统的路捆绑并废除基督活肢体的生机功能，扼窒、杀死基督的肢体─二6。
D.　The traditional way binds and annuls the organic function of the living members of Christ and chokes and kills the members of Christ—2:6.
五　合乎圣经的路是属灵的，适合活而属灵之人的口味，要求人活并要求人在灵里─约四23~24，徒十三52，加五16，罗八4，提后一6~7。
E.　The scriptural way is spiritual, fits the taste of the living and spiritual man, and requires man to be living and in the spirit—John 4:23-24; Acts 13:52; Gal. 5:16; Rom. 8:4; 2 Tim. 1:6-7.
六　合乎圣经的路叫人活，能在人的灵里喂养人，并且能养育基督的肢体，使其有生命的长大─林前三6，弗五29，四15。
F.　The scriptural way is able to enliven man, able to nourish man in his spirit, and able to raise up the members of Christ for the growth of life—1 Cor. 3:6; Eph. 5:29; 4:15.
七　合乎圣经的路能开发基督肢体生机的能力与功用，并且能建造基督的身体─12~16节。
G.　The scriptural way is able to develop the organic ability and function of the members of Christ and able to build up the Body of Christ—vv. 12-16.
叁　神所命定建造基督身体的路，乃是借着四个主要的项目，这四项是今日基督教中很大的“缺失”：
III.　The God-ordained way to build up the Body of Christ is through four major items, which are big "missings" in today's Christianity:
一　主渴望恢复基督身体众肢体在神福音的祭司体系中尽功用：
A.　The Lord desires to recover the functioning of all the members of the Body of Christ in the priesthood of the gospel of God:
1　我们需要传福音拯救罪人，将他们献与神作可蒙悦纳的祭物─罗十五16。
1.　We need to preach the gospel to save sinners and offer them to God as acceptable sacrifices—Rom. 15:16.
2　我们需要养育信徒，带领他们将自己献给神作活祭─十二1。
2.　We need to bring the believers up to lead them to present themselves to God as living sacrifices—12:1.
3　我们需要用全般的智慧警戒并教导每一位圣徒，好将各人在基督里成熟的献上─西一27~29，徒二十20，31。
3.　We need to warn and teach every saint in all wisdom to present each one full-grown in Christ—Col. 1:27-29; Acts 20:20, 31.
二　主渴望恢复基督身体生机的建造：
B.　The Lord desires to recover the organic building up of the Body of Christ:
1　基督身体生机的建造，乃是三一神在信徒里面的增加，使他们在基督里长大─西二19，弗四15~16。
1.　The organic building up of the Body of Christ is the increase of the Triune God in the believers for their growth in Christ—Col. 2:19; Eph. 4:15-16.
2　基督身体生机的建造，乃是借着身体的肢体在圣言的奶和粮中得喂养─彼前二2，来五13~14。
2.　The organic building up of the Body of Christ is through the members of the Body feeding on the milk and food of the holy Word—1 Pet. 2:2; Heb. 5:13-14.
3　我们需要将基督作生命供应给人，为着基督身体生机的建造─林后三6。
3.　We need to minister Christ as life to others for the organic building up of the Body of Christ—2 Cor. 3:6.
三　主渴望恢复圣徒的成全：
C.　The Lord desires to recover the perfecting of the saints:
1　基督身体生机的建造，乃是借着恩赐所成全的圣徒，目的是为着职事的工作─弗四11~12。
1.　The organic building up of the Body of Christ is through the saints being perfected by the gifts unto the work of the ministry—Eph. 4:11-12.
2　有恩赐的人需要按照生命树喂养圣徒而成全他们，圣徒需要愿意并预备好受成全─12~15节，林前三2上，6，腓二13。
2.　The gifted persons need to perfect the saints by feeding them according to the tree of life, and the saints need to be willing and ready to be perfected—vv. 12-15; 1 Cor. 3:2a, 6; Phil. 2:13.
3　有恩赐的人需要跟随使徒保罗的榜样，或在公众面前，或挨家挨户教导圣徒，并流泪劝戒每一个圣徒─徒二十20，31。
3.　The gifted persons need to follow Paul's example by teaching publicly and from house to house and by admonishing each one of the saints with tears—Acts 20:20, 31.
四　主渴望恢复彼此互相的召会聚会，众人都申言（为主说话），使召会得建造：
D.　The Lord desires to recover the church meetings in mutuality with all prophesying (speaking for the Lord) for the building up of the church:
1　申言是超越的路，将基督一切的丰富分赐到神的子民里面，好为着基督身体生机的建造─林前十四4下，12，31节。
1.　Prophesying is the excelling way to dispense all the riches of Christ into God's people for the organic building up of the Body of Christ—1 Cor. 14:4b, 12, 31.
2　在林前十四章使徒保罗用了十三个辞来鼓励、嘱咐、并勉强我们申言：
2.　In 1 Corinthians 14 there are thirteen terms used by the apostle Paul to encourage, charge, and compel us to prophesy:
a　保罗用五个动词：追求、切慕、寻求、得以超越、以及学习─1，12，31节。
a.　Paul uses five verbs: pursue, desire, seek, excel, and learn—vv. 1, 12, 31.
b　保罗题到众人都申言的六个结果：建造、勉励、安慰、劝服、审明、显露心里的隐情─3，23~25，31节。
b.　Paul mentions six results when all prophesy: building up, encourage-ment, consolation, convicting, examining, and making manifest the secrets of the hearts—vv. 3, 23-25, 31.
c　保罗说我们需要用两个器官来申言─我们的心思和我们的灵─15节下，19，32节。
c.　Paul says that we need to use two organs to prophesy: our mind and our spirit—vv. 15b, 19, 32.
3　“那申言的，乃是建造召会”─林前十四4下，参太十六18：
3.　"He who prophesies builds up the church"—1 Cor. 14:4b; cf. Matt. 16:18.
肆　神所命定建造基督身体的路，乃是借着活力排进行─来十24~25：
IV.　The God-ordained way to build up the Body of Christ takes place through the vital groups—Heb. 10:24-25:
一　活力排的目的乃是要过国度的生活和召会的生活─太十八15~22，提后二22，罗十四17。
A.　The purpose of the vital groups is to live the kingdom life and the church life—Matt. 18:15-22; 2 Tim. 2:22; Rom. 14:17.
二　我们是活力排的构成分子，需要有分于基督在祂天上职事里美妙的牧养，好将主的恢复带入一个新的复兴─约二一15~17，徒二十28~29，来十三20，彼前五1~4。
B.　As the constituents of the vital groups, we need to participate in Christ's wonderful shepherding in His heavenly ministry to bring the Lord's recovery into a new revival—John 21:15-17; Acts 20:28-29; Heb. 13:20; 1 Pet. 5:1-4.
三　我们是活力排的构成分子，需要追求爱;为着建造基督的身体，在我们的所是和所作上，爱乃是极超越的路─林前十二31下，十四4~8，13，提后二22。
C.　As the constituents of the vital groups, we need to pursue love as the most excellent way for us to be anything and do anything for the building up of the Body of Christ—1 Cor. 12:31b; 13:4-8, 13; 2 Tim. 2:22.
