Message Seven The Kingdom of God (1) The Sowing, Growth, and Development of the Seed of the Kingdom
读经：可四3，11，14，26~29
Scripture Reading: Mark 4:3, 11, 14, 26-29
壹　新约启示三一神已经成为肉体，为要撒到祂所拣选的人里面，然后在他们里面发展成为国度;这就是全部新约教训的内在元素─约一14，西二9，可四26~29，启十一15，二一2。
I.　The New Testament reveals that the Triune God has been incarnated in order to be sown into His chosen people and then to develop within them into a kingdom; this is the intrinsic element of the entire teaching of the New Testament-John 1:14; Col. 2:9; Mark 4:26-29; Rev. 11:15; 21:2.
贰　神关于祂国的经纶，是个隐藏的奥秘，这奥秘已经向主的门徒揭示出来─可四11：
II.　God's economy concerning His kingdom was a hidden mystery, which has been unveiled to the Lord's disciples-Mark 4:11:
一　因着神国的性质和特点完全是神圣的，并且神的国所借以产生的元素，乃是神圣的生命和神圣的光，所以神的国，尤其神国的实际，就是今世真正的召会，对天然的人还全然是个奥秘─3，21，26节，林前二14。
A.　Since the nature and character of the kingdom of God are wholly divine, and the elements through which it is brought forth are the divine life and the divine light, the kingdom of God, especially in its reality as the genuine church in this age, is still entirely a mystery to the natural man-vv. 3, 21, 26; 1 Cor. 2:14.
二　要明白神的国，需要神圣的启示─弗一17~18，三3，罗十六25~26。
B.　Divine revelation is required to understand the kingdom of God-Eph. 1:17-18; 3:3; Rom. 16:25-26.
叁　神的国不是仅仅物质的范围，在其中神管治祂的子民，并运用祂的权柄来执行祂的行政管理，使他们能进入其中，得享永福;神的国实际上就是神自己─可一15，太六33，约三3：
III.　The kingdom of God is not merely a material realm in which God rules over His people and exercises His authority to carry out His governmental administration so that they may enter into this realm to enjoy eternal blessing; the kingdom of God is actually God Himself-Mark 1:15; Matt. 6:33; John 3:3:
一　神自己就是神国一切的内容─林前四20，十五28。
A.　God Himself is everything as the content of His kingdom-1 Cor. 4:20; 15:28.
二　神是生命，有神生命的本质、能力和形状;这就形成神掌权的范围─约三15，参弗四18。
B.　God is life, having the nature, ability, and shape of the divine life, which forms the realm of God's ruling-John 3:15; cf. Eph. 4:18.
三　神的生命就是神的国，神的国是神圣生命的范围，让这生命行动、作工、管治并支配，使生命得以成就其目的─约三3。
C.　The life of God is the kingdom of God, and the kingdom of God is the realm of the divine life for this life to move, to work, to rule, and to govern so that life may accomplish its purpose-John 3:3.
四　活在神国里的人有神作他们的生命;神活在他们里面，也借着他们而活，并且从他们里面活出来，他们就因此彰显神─腓一21上。
D.　Those who live in the kingdom of God have God as their life; God lives in them, through them, and out of them, and thus they express God-Phil. 1:21a.
肆　神的国乃是基督自己作生命的种子，撒在我们里面，在我们里面生长，在我们里面扩展，并在我们里面成熟，直到有了完全的收割─国度的实现─可四26~29，太十三43：
IV.　The kingdom of God is Christ Himself as the seed of life sown into us, growing in us, spreading in us, and maturing in us until there is a full harvest-the manifestation of the kingdom-Mark 4:26-29; Matt. 13:43:
一　这启示在马可四章二十六至二十九节种子的比喻里：─引用经文
A.　This is revealed in the parable of the seed in Mark 4:26-29:
1　二十六节的人指神的儿子作撒种者，在祂的道（14）里将自己当作生命的种子，撒在人的心里，使祂能生长并活在他们里面，且从他们里面彰显出来。─引用经文
1.　The man in verse 26 is the Son of God as the Sower who came to sow Himself as the seed of life in the word (v. 14) into men's heart so that He might grow and live in them and be expressed from within them.
2　种子乃是撒在主的信徒里面那神圣生命的种子─约壹三9，彼前一23。
2.　The seed is the seed of the divine life sown into the Lord's believers-1 John 3:9; 1 Pet. 1:23.
3　把种子撒在地上，指明神的国（主福音的结果和目标），以及今世的召会，（罗十四17，）都是神生命的事;这生命发芽、长大、结果、成熟并产生收成─可四26。
3.　The casting of the seed on the earth indicates that the kingdom of God, which is the issue and goal of the Lord's gospel, and the church in this age (Rom. 14:17) are a matter of life of God, which sprouts, grows, bears fruit, matures, and produce a harvest-Mark 4:26.
4　基督建立国度，是借着将祂自己这生命的种子撒在信的人里面，使国度长大;这完全是在生命里长大的事，而不是我们工作的事─彼前一23，约壹三9，太十三8。
4.　Christ establishes the kingdom by sowing Himself as the seed of life into believing people so that the kingdom may grow; this is absolutely a matter of the growth in life, not of our work-1 Pet. 1:23; 1 John 3:9; Matt. 13:8.
5　重生是神国的入门，而信徒里面神生命的长大是神国的发展─约三3，5，彼后一3~11。
5.　Regeneration is the entrance into the kingdom of God, and the growth of the divine life within the believers is the development of the kingdom of God-John 3:3, 5; 2 Pet. 1:3-11.
6　神的国乃是召会的实际，借着福音，由基督复活的生命所产生─罗十四17，林前四15。
6.　The kingdom of God is the reality of the church brought forth by the resurrection life of Christ through the gospel-Rom. 14:17; 1 Cor. 4:15.
7　国度的种子是耶稣，而这种子在整体信徒里的发展就是国度;这个整体就是召会─罗十四17。
7.　The seed of the kingdom is Jesus, and the development of the seed is the aggregate of the believers is the kingdom; this aggregate is the church-Rom. 14:17.
二　神的国实际上乃是神人主耶稣作为种子，撒到相信祂的人里面，并发展为一个范围，使神能在祂神圣的生命里，在祂的国度里掌权─路十七20~21，可四3，26~29：
B.　The kingdom of God is actually the God-man, the Lord Jesus, sown as a seed into the believers and developing into a realm over which God can rule as His kingdom in His divine life-Luke 17:20-21; Mark 4:3, 26-29:
1　神的国乃是一个美妙的人位─神的儿子主耶稣基督─太十六16。
1.　The kingdom of God is a wonderful person-the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God - Matt. 16:16.
2　主耶稣是三一神的具体化身，来作神的国，将自己这国度的种子撒在神所拣选的人里面─西二9，路十七20~21，太十三3~23：
2.　The Lord Jesus, who is the embodiment of the Triune God, came to be the kingdom of God by sowing Himself as the seed of the kingdom into God's chosen people-Col. 2:9; Luke 17:20-21; Matt. 13:3-23:
a　主是撒种者，也是撒出去的种子;主这位撒种者，把祂自己当作生命的种子，借着祂的话撒出去─可四3，14。
a.　The Lord is both the Sower and the seed sown; as the Sower, the Lord sows Himself as the seed of life through His word-Mark 4:3, 14.
b　神的生命，就是基督自己，乃是神圣生命范围的种子，发展成为祂掌权的国度─3，26~29节。
b.　God's life, which is Christ Himself, is the seed of the realm of the divine life that develops into the kingdom for His ruling -vv. 3, 26-29.
c　这位作为种子撒到我们里面的，乃是国度的基因;这国度基因的完全发展将是新天新地里神永远的国─启二一1~2。
c.　The One who has been sown into us as a seed is the kingdom gene; the full development of this kingdom gene will be God's eternal kingdom in the new heaven and new earth-Rev. 21:1-2.
3　这种子撒进信徒里面之后，要在他们里面长大并发展为神的国，为着完成神永远的定旨，并作他们的福分和享受─西一13。
3.　After the seed has been sown into the believers, it will grow and develop within them into the kingdom of God, which is for the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose and also for their blessing and enjoyment-Col. 1:13.
4　国度在我们里面的发展，就是我们进入神的国─彼后一3~11：
4.　The development of the kingdom within us is our entering into the kingdom of God-2 Pet. 1:3-11:
a　进入神的国不是进入我们身外的一个物质范围，乃是在我们里面生长基督─加四19。
a.　To enter into the kingdom of God is not a matter of entering into a material realm outwardly but of growing Christ inwardly-Gal. 4:19.
b　我们要进入神的国就必须谦卑自己、倒空自己，好让我们全人里面能腾出空位来，使基督在我们里面长大─可十13~16，弗三16~17上。
b.　In order to enter into the kingdom of God, we must humble ourselves and empty ourselves so that our entire inner being is available for Christ is grow in us-Mark 10:13-16; Eph. 3:16-17a.
c　表面看来，是我们进入神的国;事实上，乃是主借着在我们里面生命的长大，以及神圣生命在我们里面的发展，叫我们得着丰富的供应，得以进入神的国─彼后一3~11。
c.　Apparently, it is we who enter into the kingdom of God; actually, the entrance into the kingdom of God is supplied to us richly by the Lord through our growth in life and through the development of the divine life within us-2 Pet. 1:3-11.
d　我们要殷勤，追求我们里面神圣生命的长进与发展，直到我们得着丰富充足的供应，而进入“我们主和救主耶稣基督永远的国”─5，11节。
d.　We should be diligent to pursue the growth and development of the divine life within us until we are richly and bountifully supplied the entrance into "the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"-vv. 5, 11.
