Message Four The Lord's Recovery of the Body-Christ
读经：林前十二12~13，弗四1~6，16，西二19
Scripture Reading: 1 Cor. 12:12-13; Eph. 4:1-6, 16; Col. 2:19
壹　我们今日的需要，乃是对主当前的恢复有属天、活的、构上时代、并即时的异象;我们需要求主释放我们，脱离我们宗教和天然观念的‘牢笼’，使我们能在清明的天空中翱翔，得以看见并被恢复到神原初的心意和祂中心的启示─徒二六18，结一1~3，22，26，太二10，12：
I.　What we need today is the heavenly, living, up-to-date, and instant vision of the Lord's present recovery; we need to ask the Lord to free us from the "cage" of our religious and natural concepts so that we may soar in a clear sky to see and be recovered back to God's original intention and His central revelation—Acts 26:18; Ezek. 1:1-3, 22, 26; Matt. 2:10, 12:
一　主恢复里的得胜者经历那是灵的基督作神的实际，经历那是话的基督作神的说话，并经历那是光的基督作神的照耀─创一1~3，林后四6。
A.　The overcomers in the Lord's recovery experience the Spirit-Christ as the reality of God, the Word-Christ as the speaking of God, and the Light-Christ as the shining of God—Gen. 1:1-3; 2 Cor. 4:6.
二　主恢复里的得胜者经历那在外在人类历史之中，内在、神圣历史里隐藏的神─赛四五15，斯二7，四14~16，十3，尼二10，撒上四3，21~22，但一6~8，二44~45，四17，26。
B.　The overcomers in the Lord's recovery experience the hiding God in the intrinsic, divine history within the outward human history—Isa. 45:15; Esth. 2:7; 4:14-16; 10:3; Neh. 2:10; 1 Sam. 4:3, 21-22; Dan. 1:6-8; 2:44-45; 4:17, 26.
三　主恢复里的得胜者将他们的全人对准神中心的启示和神经纶的目标─六10，王上八48，参王下二二8~11，二三25。
C.　The overcomers in the Lord's recovery have their whole being aimed at the central revelation of God and the goal of God's economy—6:10; 1 Kings 8:48; cf. 2 Kings 22:8-11; 23:25.
贰　神中心的启示乃是圣经中关于神的渐进启示─“单身“的神、成肉体的神、救赎的神、内住的神与合并的神：
II.　The central revelation of God is the progressive revelation of God in the Bible—the "bachelor" God, the incarnated God, the redeeming God, the indwelling God, and the incorporated God:
一　在圣经开头是单个的神，“单身”的神，到末了是“已婚”的神，终极合并的神，团体的神，新耶路撒冷─创一1，26，二18，启二一2，9~10。
A.　At the beginning of the Bible there is one single God, the "bachelor" God, and at the end there is the "married" God, the ultimately incorporated God, the corporate God, the New Jerusalem—Gen. 1:1, 26; 2:18; Rev. 21:2, 9-10.
二　主的恢复乃是恢复在祂丰满职事三个时期─成肉体、总括与加强─里的基督;主的恢复乃是神成了肉体，肉体成了赐生命的灵，赐生命的灵成了七倍加强的灵，为要建造召会，成为基督的身体，终极完成新耶路撒冷：
B.　The Lord's recovery is the recovery of Christ in His full ministry of three stages—incarnation, inclusion, and intensification; the Lord's recovery is God becoming the flesh, the flesh becoming the life-giving Spirit, and the life-giving Spirit becoming the sevenfold intensified Spirit to build up the church that becomes the Body of Christ and that consummates the New Jerusalem:
1　‘神成了肉体’乃是“单身”的神成了成肉体的神和救赎的神─约一14，29。
1.　God becoming the flesh is the "bachelor" God becoming the incarnated God and the redeeming God—John 1:14, 29.
2　“肉体成了赐生命的灵，赐生命的灵成了七倍加强的灵”乃是内住的神作为复合的神和加强的神─林前十五45下，启一4，三1，四5，五6。
2.　The flesh becoming the life-giving Spirit, and the life-giving Spirit becoming the sevenfold intensified Spirit is the indwelling God as the compounded God and the intensified God—1 Cor. 15:45b; Rev. 1:4; 3:1; 4:5; 5:6.
3　‘建造的召会，成为基督的身体，终极完成新耶路撒冷’乃是合并的神，就是身体基督，要终极完成团体的神，新耶路撒冷，就是经过过程并终极完成之三一神，与经过过程并终极完成之三部分召会的终极联结、调和与合并─约十七21，弗四4~6，16，西二19，启十九7~9，二一2，9~10。
3.　The built-up church that becomes the Body of Christ and that consummates the New Jerusalem is the incorporated God, the Body-Christ, that consummates the corporate God, the New Jerusalem, the ultimate union, mingling, and incorporation of the processed and consummated Triune God with the processed and consummated tripartite church—John 17:21; Eph. 4:4-6, 16; Col. 2:19; Rev. 19:7-9; 21:2, 9-10.
叁　主当前的恢复乃是要在召会生活中恢复身体基督（“那基督”）;身体基督就是合并的神─林前十二12~13，徒九4~5，15，西二19，弗四1~6，15~16，约十四23，十七21：
III.　The Lord's present recovery is the recovery of the Body-Christ ("the Christ") in the church life; the Body-Christ is the incorporated God—1 Cor. 12:12-13; Acts 9:4-5, 15; Col. 2:19; Eph. 4:1-6, 15-16; John 14:23; 17:21:
一　林前十二章十二节说，“就如身体是一个，却有许多肢体，而且身体上一切的肢体虽多，仍是一个身体，那基督（直译）也是这样。”在本节里，“那基督”不是个人的基督，乃是团体的基督，就是基督与祂所有肢体的合并。
A.　First Corinthians 12:12 says, "Even as the body is one and has many members, yet all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ"; "the Christ" in this verse is not the individual Christ but the corporate Christ, Christ incorporated with all His members.
二　主的恢复是恢复“基督化”，就是单纯而全然的恢复基督的人位，好在召会生活中得着身体基督的实际─帖前五23，腓一19~21上，三8~14，林后二10，西三10~11。
B.　The Lord's recovery is the recovery of "Christification," a recovery purely and wholly of the person of Christ to gain the reality of the Body-Christ in the church life—1 Thes. 5:23; Phil. 1:19-21a; 3:8-14; 2 Cor. 2:10; Col. 3:10-11.
三　今天主正在召会生活中建造身体基督;在身体基督里，有基督作到祂所有的肢体里面，祂所有的肢体也藉着生命的长大和生命的变化，被作到祂里面，使基督得着彰显─二19，罗十二2，林后三18，林前十二12~13：
C.　Today the Lord is building the Body-Christ in the church life; in the Body- Christ, Christ is wrought into all His members, and all His members are wrought into Him by the growth in life and transformation in life for the expression of Christ—2:19; Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 3:18; 1 Cor. 12:12-13:
1　在身体基督里，我们享受基督作一切─3节下，13节。
1.　In the Body-Christ we enjoy Christ as everything—vv. 3b, 13.
2　在身体基督里，所有的肢体都尽功用─14~22节。
2.　In the Body-Christ there is the function of all the members—vv. 14-22.
3　在身体基督里，众肢体在三一神的一里调在一起─23~27节，约十七21，弗四1~6。
3.　In the Body-Christ there is the blending together of the members in the oneness of the Triune God—vv. 23-27; John 17:21; Eph. 4:1-6.
肆　我们要活在身体基督的实际里，就需要蒙拯救脱离犹太教的混杂─徒二一18~26，雅二2，8，启二9：
IV.　In order to live in the reality of the Body-Christ, we need to be delivered from the mixture of Judaism—Acts 21:18-26; James 2:2, 8; Rev. 2:9:
一　犹太教有属地的应许同属地的福分，但在新约里，我们有包罗万有的灵作为基督那追测不尽之丰富的总和，这是我们独一的福分，使我们能以祝福别人─创十二2，加三14，弗三8，一3，民六23~27，林后十三14。
A.　Judaism has earthly promises with earthly blessings, but in the new testament we have the all-inclusive Spirit as the totality of the unsearchable riches of Christ to be our unique blessing for us to bless others—Gen. 12:2; Gal. 3:14; Eph. 3:8; 1:3; Num. 6:23-27; 2 Cor. 13:14.
二　犹太教有字句的律法，但在新约里，我们有生命之灵的律─罗八2，来八10，罗二28~29，加五1~4。
B.　Judaism has the law of letters, but in the new testament we have the law of the Spirit of life—Rom. 8:2; Heb. 8:10; Rom. 2:28-29; Gal. 5:1-4.
三　犹太教有居间的祭司，但在新约里，所有的信徒都是神的祭司，作圣别并君尊的祭司体系─启一5下~6，彼前二5，9。
C.　Judaism has mediatorial priests, but in the new testament all the believers are priests of God to be a holy and royal priesthood—Rev. 1:5b-6; 1 Pet. 2:5, 9.
四　犹太教有物质的圣殿，但在新约里，殿乃是属灵的家，是神在灵里的居所─弗二21~22，约四24，十四2，20，23，提前三15，启二一3，22。
D.　Judaism has a material temple, but in the new testament the temple is a spiritual house, a dwelling place of God in spirit—Eph. 2:21-22; John 4:24; 14:2, 20, 23; 1 Tim. 3:15; Rev. 21:3, 22.
伍　我们要活在身体基督的实际里，就需要蒙拯救脱离巴比伦的原则─十七1~5，十八2，4~5，7，13，参亚五5~11：
V.　In order to live in the reality of the Body-Christ, we need to be saved from the principle of Babylon—17:1-5; 18:2, 4-5, 7, 13; cf. Zech. 5:5-11:
一　巴比伦（希伯来文，Babel，巴别）的原则就是人为的努力，要用人的能力，用砖头，从地上造出一些东西，直通到天上;神的建造不是用人劳苦所得，人造的砖头建造的，而是用神圣工作所产生，神创造并变化的石头建造的─创十一1~9，林前三12。
A.　The principle of Babylon (Heb. Babel) is man's endeavor to build up something from earth to heaven by human ability, by bricks; the building of God is not built with man-made bricks by human labor but with God-created and transformed stones by the divine work—Gen. 11:1-9; 1 Cor. 3:12.
二　巴比伦的原则就是装假;什么时候，我们穿上一件与自己不相称的“衣服”，为要得着人的荣耀，这就是巴比伦的原则─启十七4，6，太二三25~32，书七21，徒五1~11，太十五7~8，约五44，十二42~43，参太六6。
B.　The principle of Babylon is hypocrisy; whenever we put on a "garment" which does not match our actual condition in order to receive glory from man, we are in the principle of Babylon—Rev. 17:4, 6; Matt. 23:25-32; Josh. 7:21; Acts 5:1-11; Matt. 15:7-8; John 5:44; 12:42-43; cf. Matt. 6:6.
三　巴比伦的原则就是不看自己为寡妇，反倒荣耀自己，生活奢华;凡我们生活中过分的，就是奢华，就是巴比伦的原则─启十八7，提前六6~10。
C.　The principle of Babylon is that of not considering herself a widow but of glorifying herself and living luxuriously; anything in our living which is in excess is luxury and is in the principle of Babylon—Rev. 18:7; 1 Tim. 6:6-10.
四　巴比伦的目的是人为着宣扬自己的名，否认神的名;召会如同贞洁的童女许配基督，除了她丈夫的名以外，不该有别的名─创十一4，林后十一2。
D.　Babylon's purpose is for man to make a name for himself and deny God's name; the church, as the pure virgin espoused to Christ, should have no name other than her Husband's—Gen. 11:4; 2 Cor. 11:2.
五　巴比伦的意思是混乱;在召会里，我们应该有一样的心思，有同一的口，在一个职事之下，有独一的教训，在一个灵里，同魂，有一个心和一条路，为着一个身体─创十一6~7，罗十五5~6，林前一10，腓二2，提前一3~4，耶三二39。
E.　Babylon means confusion; in the church we should have only one mind and one mouth under one ministry with one unique teaching in one spirit with one soul, one heart, and one way for the one Body—Gen. 11:6-7; Rom. 15:5-6; 1 Cor. 1:10; Phil. 2:2; 1 Tim. 1:3-4; Jer. 32:39.
六　对于巴别背叛的人，结果乃是分散，但在召会生活中，在身体基督里，乃是聚集并相调为一个身体，为着神独一的见证─创十一8，申十二5，十六16，诗一三三，林前十二24。
F.　With the rebellious people at Babel, there was scattering, but in the Body- Christ in the church life there is gathering and blending into one Body for God's unique testimony—Gen. 11:8; Deut. 12:5; 16:16; Psa. 133; 1 Cor. 12:24.
七　巴比伦是神的物与偶像之物的混杂;但在身体基督里，基督是无可代替的独一内容，作为包罗万有的膏油涂抹─代下三六6~7，约壹二18~20，27，林前十二12。
G.　Babylon is a mixture of the things of God with the things of idols, but in the Body-Christ, Christ is the irreplaceable and unique content as the all-inclusive anointing—2 Chron. 36:6-7; 1 John 2:18-20, 27; 1 Cor. 12:12.
