读经:提前三15,林前三16~17,弗一22~23,二21~22,四12,16
Scripture Reading: 1 Tim. 3:15; 1 Cor. 3:16-17; Eph. 1:22-23; 2:21-22; 4:12, 16
壹 神圣建造的完成乃是在许多地方的召会作神的家,成了神的居所,就是在主里的圣殿─提前三15,弗二21~22,林前一2,三16~17:
I. The accomplishment of the divine building is the church in many localities as the house of God to be God's dwelling place, the holy temple in the Lord—1 Tim. 3:15; Eph. 2:21-22; 1 Cor. 1:2; 3:16-17:
一 神圣的建造有宇宙的,和地方的这两面─弗二21~22:
A. The divine building has both a universal aspect and a local aspect—Eph. 2:21-22:
1 以弗所二章二十一节的“全房”一辞,是指宇宙的建造,也就是在全宇宙中召会的建造:─引用经文
1. The phrase all the building is verse 21 denotes the universal building, the building of the church throughout the universe:
a 在基督里面,全房联结一起,长成在主里的圣殿。
a. In Christ all the building is fitted together and is growing into a holy temple in the Lord.
b 这房是活的,(彼前二5,)所以是在长大;召会这神的家真实的建造,乃是借着信徒生命的长大─弗四15~16。
b. Since the building is living (1 Pet. 2:5), it is growing; the actual building of the church as the house of God is by the believers' growth in life—Eph. 4:15-16.
c 说到宇宙的建造,我们必须分辨建造与组织;众召会要在宇宙一面建造在一起,但不是在宇宙一面组织起来─二21。
c. In speaking of the universal building, we must distinguish such building from organization; the churches will be built together universally, but they will not be universally organized—2:21.
2 以弗所二章二十二节的“你们也”指明,二十一节的建造是宇宙的,二十二节的建造是地方的:─引用经文
2. The words you also in Ephesians 2:22 indicate that the building in verse 21 is universal, but the building in verse 22 is local:
a 在宇宙一面,召会是独一无二的,并且长大成为圣殿;在地方一面,召会在所在的地方上也是一,其地的圣徒在该地同被建造成为神的居所。
a. Universally, the church is uniquely one and is growing into a holy temple universally; locally, the church in a particular locality also is one, and the local saints are being built together as the dwelling place of God in their particular locality.
b 宇宙的建造惟有借着地方的建造才得以完成─林前十四4~5,12。
b. Universal building can be accomplished only through local building—1 Cor. 14:4-5, 12.
二 神的建筑不是普通的建筑,乃是圣别之神的圣所,神的灵所居住的殿─三16~17:
B. The building of God is not an ordinary building; it is the sanctuary of the holy God, the temple in which the Spirit of God dwells—3:16-17:
1 神在宇宙中惟一属灵的殿,在地上的许多地方都有显出,每一显出就是神在那地方的殿─一2,三16。
1. The unique spiritual temple of God in the universe has its expression in many localities on earth; each expression is the temple of God in that locality—1:2; 3:16.
2 十六节神的殿,是指在某一个地方团体的信徒─一2。
2. The temple of God in verse 16 refers to the believers collectively in a certain locality—1:2.
3 三章十七节神的那殿,是指普世所有的信徒─弗二21。
3. The temple of God in 3:17 refers to all the believers universally—Eph. 2:21.
三 我们有多少宇宙的和地方的建造,乃在于我们看见在神的经纶里基督是一切有多少─西三10~11:
C. How much building we have universally and locally depends on how much we realize that Christ is everything in God's economy—Col. 3:10-11:
1 基督是包罗万有的一位,我们不该持守任何顶替祂的东西─一18,二19,林前一30,三11。
1. Christ is the all-inclusive One, and we should not hold on to anything in place of Him—1:18; 2:19; 1 Cor. 1:30; 3:11.
2 我们若持守基督作我们的一切,就要经历真实的建造,先是地方的,然后是宇宙的─弗三8,一22~23,二21~22。
2. If we hold to Christ as everything to us, we will experience the genuine building, first locally and then universally—Eph. 3:8; 1:22-23; 2:21-22.
贰 神圣建造的完成乃是在全宇宙中基督的身体作基督的彰显─一23:
II. The consummation of the divine building is the Body of Christ in the whole universe as the expression of Christ—1:23:
一 主的恢复是为着建造基督的身体─四16:
A. The Lord's recovery is for the building up of the Body of Christ—4:16:
1 所有的召会乃是一个身体,因此同工们不应当作区域的工作,乃要作为着基督宇宙身体的宇宙工作─11~12节。
1. All the churches are one Body, and the co-workers should be doing not a regional work but a universal work for the universal Body—v. 12.
2 同工和长老们在当地或在宇宙一面所作的,都应当在作时有充分的领会,他们是在建造基督的身体;因此,他们该一直持守身体的观点─16节:
2. Whatever the co-workers and elders do in locally or universally should be done in a full realization that they are building up the Body of Christ; thus, we should always keep a view of the Body—v. 16:
a 今天召会一切的问题,都是由于不认识基督的身体─一17~23,林前十二24下~27。
a. All the problems of the church today are due to the ignorance concerning the Body of Christ—1:17-23; 1 Cor. 12:24b-27.
b 每当我们作一件事时,我们必须正确的考虑到身体─罗十二4~5,15。
b. Whenever we do something, we should have a proper consideration for the Body—Rom. 12:4-5,15.
3 事实上,在基督里的众信徒,已经由那灵浸成一个身体;实际上,众信徒必须在整个新约时代里,由神圣建造的建造者建造在一起,成为基督的身体─林前十二13,弗四11~12。
3. In fact, all the believers in Christ have been baptized into one Body by the Spirit; in practicality, all the believers have to be built together into the Body of Christ by the builders of the divine building through the age of the New Testament—1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 4:12.
二 我们的工作乃是主恢复的工作,为着建造基督的身体─林前十五58,十六10,弗四12:
B. Our work is the work of the Lord's recovery for the building up of the Body of Christ—1 Cor. 15:58; 16:10; Eph. 4:12:
1 基督的身体是生机的,不是用天然的方法或人为的工作建造起来的─15~16节。
1. The Body of Christ is organic, and it is not built up through natural methods or human work—vv. 15-16.
2 “神的儿女什么时候看见身体的合一,什么时候就看见工作的合一;什么时候看见身体的合一,什么时候就脱离个人的工作,就看见身体的工作。”(倪柝声文集,第二辑第十七册,三○八页。)
2. "Whenever God's children see the oneness of the Body, they will also see the oneness of the work, and they will be delivered out of individualistic work into the work of the Body" (The Collected Works of Watchman Nee, vol. 37, p. 244).
三 基督的身体在宇宙一面乃是一;因这缘故,各地方召会不该彼此隔离─西四14~16,启一11,二1,7上,二二16上:
C. The Body is universally one; for this reason, the local churches should not be isolated from one another—Col. 4:14-16; Rev. 1:11; 2:1, 7a; 22:16a:
1 隔离违背基督身体是一的真理;因为每一地方召会都是宇宙身体的一部分,所以没有一个召会该与其它的召会隔离─林前一2,十二12~13,27,弗四4。
1. Isolation is contrary to the truth concerning the oneness of the Body; because each local church is part of the Body universally, no church should be isolated from others—1 Cor. 1:2; 12:12-13, 27; Eph. 4:4.
2 因为基督的身体正在接受不断的传输,所以与其它的召会隔离,就从基督身体里的传输和生命的循环被切断了;这样的事违反基督身体的律─一22~23,林前十16~17。
2. Because the Body is receiving a continual transfusion, to be isolated is to be cut off both from the transfusion and from the circulation of life in the Body; such a thing violates the law of the Body—1:22-23; 1 Cor. 10:16-17.
四 基督的身体是神经纶的目标,众地方召会是神完成基督身体建造所采取的手续─太十六18,十八17,林前十二12~13,一2,罗十二4~5,十六1,3~5,16下:
D. The Body of Christ is the goal of God's economy, and the local churches are the procedure God takes to accomplish the building up of the Body of Christ—Matt. 16:18; 18:17; 1 Cor. 12:12-13; 1:2; Rom. 12:4-5; 16:1, 4-5, 16b:
1 我们需要在众地方召会里,使我们能被引进基督身体的实际─林前一2,十二12~13,27。
1. We need to be in the local churches so that we can be ushered into the reality of the Body of Christ—1 Cor. 1:2; 12:12-13, 27.
2 我们应当注意基督的身体,过于注意地方召会─弗一22~23,二21~22,四4,12,16。
2. We should pay more attention to the Body of Christ than to the local churches—Eph. 1:22-23; 2:21-22; 4:4, 12, 16.
3 在主的恢复里,我们建造地方召会是为着建造基督的身体,这身体要终极完成于新耶路撒冷─林前十四4~5,12,十二27,弗二21~22,四16,启二一2。
3. In the Lord's recovery we are building up the local churches for the building up of the Body of Christ, which will consummate in the New Jerusalem—1 Cor. 14:4-5, 12; 12:27; Eph. 2:21-22; 4:16; Rev. 21:2.
4 为了建造基督的身体,所有地方召会的相调应当在实行上尽可能的多,并且没有州界和国界之分─林前十二27。
4. For the building up of the Body of Christ, there should be as much blending of all the local churches as much as practicality allows, without boundaries of states or nations—1 Cor. 12:27.
五 主耶稣有一个急切的需要,就是基督的身体显于地方召会中;除非基督的身体具体的显于地上,主耶稣就不会回来─太十六18,27,弗五23,27,启十九7。
E. The Lord Jesus has an urgent need of the Body to be expressed in the local churches; unless there is a substantial expression of the Body of Christ on earth, the Lord Jesus will not return—Matt. 16:18, 27; Eph. 5:23, 27; Rev. 19:7.
