贰　我们需要与基督在祂的升天里（在祂天上职事里并在神圣行政里）所作的合作，并与其一致─约二一15~17， 西一28~29：
II.　We need to cooperate with and correspond to what Christ is doing in His ascension—in His heavenly ministry and in the divine adminis-tration—John 21:15-17; Col. 1:28-29:
一　基督在诸天之上的职事需要我们的响应;历世纪以来，主一直想要得着一班人，来响应祂在天上的职事，却没有完全成功─三1~4。
A.　Christ's ministry in the heavens requires our response; for centuries the Lord has tried without adequate success to gain a people to respond to His ministry in the heavens—3:1-4.
二　天上的基督与地上的我们之间，有神圣的传输;我们若向祂敞开并接受这传输，我们就会对基督天上的职事有响应─弗一22。
B.　Between Christ in heaven and us on earth, there is a divine transmission; if we are open to Him and receive this transmission, we will respond to Christ's heavenly ministry—Eph. 1:22.

C.　God will subject all things under Christ by heading up all things in Christ through the church—v. 10; 1 Cor. 15:20-28:
1　神将万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下，第一步乃是将祂所拣选并救赎的人从宇宙崩溃的乱堆中带出来，把他们摆在基督的元首身分之下─弗一22，四14，西一18。
1.　The first step in the heading up of all things in Christ is for God to bring His chosen and redeemed people out of the universal heap of collapse and to place them under the headship of Christ—Eph. 1:22; 4:14; Col. 1:18.
2　当召会领先在基督里归一于一个元首之下时，神就有路使万有归一于元首之下─弗一22~23，10。
2.　When the church takes the lead to be headed up in Christ, God has a way to head up all other things—Eph. 1:22-23, 10.
3　召会生活乃是在基督里归一于一个元首之下的生活;我们若不认识什么是在基督里归一于一个元首之下，我们就无法认识召会─四15，林前十一3。
3.　The church life is a life of being headed up in Christ; if we do not know what it is to be headed up in Christ, we cannot know the church—4:15; 1 Cor. 11:3.
4　在召会生活中归一于一个元首之下，乃是借着生命和光;当神在基督里作为赐生命的灵进入我们里面作生命，生命的光就在我们里面照耀，我们也就归一于元首之下─约一4，弗五8~9。
4.　The heading up in the church life is by life and light; when God in Christ as the life-giving Spirit comes into us as life, the light of life shines within us, and we are headed up—John 1:4; Eph. 5:8-9.
四　借着我们的祷告，元首基督就有路，借着祂的身体执行祂的行政─六18，三1~2，14：
D.　Through our prayer, Christ, the Head, is given a way to carry out His administration through His Body—6:18; 3:1-2, 14:
1　祷告的地位就是升天的地位，也就是属天的地位;我们若离开天的境界，我们就失去祷告的地位─一3，二6。
1.　The position of prayer is ascension, that is, a heavenly position; if we leave the heavenly sphere, we lose the position of prayer—1:3; 2:6.
2　有祷告的地位，就有祷告的权柄;祷告的地位既是升天的地位，祷告的权柄也就是升天的权柄─太十七20，十八18~19。
2.　With the position of prayer there is the authority of prayer; as the position of prayer is ascension, the authority of prayer is also ascension—Matt. 17:20; 18:18-19.
3　当我们有属天的地位和权柄，我们的祷告就成了神的行政，成了神管理的执行─六9~10，13下。
3.　When we have the heavenly position and authority, our prayers become God's administration, the execution of God's rule—6:9-10, 13b.
