Message Eight The Four-in-one Organic Entity in Ephesians 4:4-6 corresponding to the Golden Lampstands in Revelation 1:20
读经：弗四4~6，启一20
Scripture Reading: Eph. 4:4-6; Rev. 1:20
壹　以弗所四章四至六节是圣经里最奥秘、最高超的一段，说出三一神的心愿，并祂所要达到的最高目的：─引用经文
I.　Ephesians 4:4-6 is the most mysterious and excellent portion in the Bible that speaks forth the heart's desire of the Triune God and the highest purpose that He desires to attain:
一　根据这段圣经，我们说基督身体的建造，就是经过过程、终极完成的三一神，与祂所救赎、重生、圣别、更新、变化、并模成祂形像之三部分人的结构─16节，罗八16，29，十二4~5。
A.　Based upon this portion of the Word we say that the building up of the Body of Christ is the constitution of the processed and consummated Triune God with the tripartite men whom He has redeemed, regenerated, sanctified, renewed, transformed, and conformed to His image—v. 16; Rom. 8:16, 29; 12:4-5.
二　根据以弗所四章四至六节，我们说基督的身体乃是神与祂所救赎之人的联结调和。
B.　Based upon Ephesians 4:4-6 we say that the Body of Christ is the union and mingling of God and His redeemed people.
贰　基督身体的一，事实上就是那三一、生机的活神自己─4~6节：
II.　The oneness of the Body of Christ is actually the triune, organic, living God Himself—vv. 4-6:
一　一位神与父、一主和一位灵所产生的，乃是一个生机体─基督的身体─一3~23。
A.　The issue of the one God and Father, the one Lord, and the one Spirit is one organism—the Body of Christ—1:3-23.
二　基督身体的一是独一的，因为这一是在于三一神是独一的─约十七6，11，14~23：
B.　The oneness of the Body of Christ is unique because it is a oneness in the uniqueness of the Triune God—John 17:6, 11, 14-23:
1　父神是源头，成为我们的性情和生命;子神是这性情和生命的元素;灵神是这元素的素质─弗四4~6。
1.　God the Father is the source as our nature and life, God the Son is the ele-ment of this nature and life, and God the Spirit is the essence of the element— Eph. 4:4-6.
2　因着我们有三一神在我们里面作源头、成分和素质，所以我们乃是一。
2.　Because we have the Triune God within us as the source, the element, and the essence, we are one.
3　我们乃是在这与三一神的一里，彼此是一;这就是基督身体的一─3节。
3.　In this oneness with the Triune God, we have oneness with one another; this is the oneness of the Body of Christ—v. 3.
三　基督的身体既是三一神与蒙祂救赎并变化之人的调和，因此身体本身就是一─4~6节。
C.　Because the Body of Christ is the mingling of the Triune God with His redeemed and transformed people, the Body itself is the oneness—vv. 4-6.
叁　按照以弗所四章四至六节，基督的身体─召会，乃是四而一：父、子、灵和身体：
III.　According to Ephesians 4:4-6, the Body of Christ, the church, is four-in-one: the Father, the Son, the Spirit, and the Body:
一　至终，召会─身体，就是一班蒙救赎、得重生，且与三一神联结，并与三一神调和的人─三16~21。
A.　Ultimately, the church, the Body, is a group of redeemed and regenerated people who are in union with the Triune God and mingled with the Triune God—3:16-21.
二　四章四至六节启示四个人位─一个身体、一位灵、一主、一位神与父─调和在一起，成为一个实体，作基督生机的身体：
B.　Ephesians 4:4-6 reveals four persons—one Body, one Spirit, one Lord, and one God and Father—mingled together as one entity to be the organic Body of Christ:
1　父是源头，子是成分，灵是素质;这三者都与身体调和。
1.　The Father is the origin, the Son is the element, and the Spirit is the essence; these three are mingled with the Body.
2　父具体化身在子里，子实化成为那灵，祂们都在我们里面;因此我们是“四而一”─神圣又属人的构成─约十四10~11，16~17，20，弗三16~21。
2.　The Father is embodied in the Son, the Son is realized as the Spirit, and They are all in us; therefore, we are "four-in-one," a divine and human consti-tution—John 14:10-11, 16-17, 20; Eph. 3:16-21.
3　因着父、子、灵都与基督的身体是一，我们可以说三一神现今乃是“四一神”;这四者就是父、子、灵与身体─四4~6。
3.　Because the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are all one with the Body of Christ, we may say that the Triune God is now "the four-in-one God"; these four are the Father, the Son, the Spirit, and the Body—4:4-6.
肆　以弗所四章四至六节里四而一的生机实体，与启示录一章二十节里的金灯台相符：─引用经文
IV.　The four-in-one organic entity in Ephesians 4:4-6 corresponds to the golden lampstands in Revelation 1:20:
一　按着表号，金灯台表征召会作三一神的具体表现和彰显─11~12节。
A.　In figure, the golden lampstand signifies the church as the embodiment and expression of the Triune God—vv. 11-12.
二　我们越经历灯台所描绘之三一神各面的细节，就越在实际上成为金灯台，作三一神的具体表现和彰显─12，20节：
B.　The more we experience the detailed aspects of the Triune God depicted in the lampstand, the more we will become in reality the golden lampstand as the embodiment and expression of the Triune God—vv. 12, 20:
1　灯台是纯金的，表征父神那神圣、永远、不能朽坏的性情─出二五31，彼后一4，启三18：
1.　The lampstand is of pure gold, signifying the divine, eternal, incorruptible nature of God the Father—Exo. 25:31; 2 Pet. 1:4; Rev. 3:18:
a　灯台的本质、元素表征神圣的性情;金灯台存在于父神的性情里。
a.　The substance, the element, of the lampstand signifies the divine nature; the golden lampstand exists in the nature of God the Father.
b　我们需要经历灯台金的元素，将神这金的元素接受到我们这人的深处─彼后一4。
b.　We need to experience the golden element of the lampstand, receiving God as the golden element into the depths of our being—2 Pet. 1:4.
c　神圣的性情作到我们里面有多少，决定我们是召会在实际上到了怎样的程度─启一20。
c.　How much of the divine nature has been wrought into us determines to what extent we are the church in actuality—Rev. 1:20.
2　灯台扎实的形状、样子，表征子神是父神的具体化身─出二五31：
2.　The solid form, the shape, of the lampstand signifies God the Son as the embodiment of God the Father—Exo. 25:31:
a　基督已经重生到我们的所是里，祂正成形在我们里面，我们也正被变化成为祂的所是─约一12~13，加四19，林后三18。
a.　Christ has been regenerated into our being, He is being formed in us, and we are being transformed into His being—John 1:12-13; Gal. 4:19; 2 Cor. 3:18.
b　藉着神生机的拯救，我们得救脱离己的样式（己的彰显），并被模成神长子基督的形像─罗五10，八29。
b.　Through God's organic salvation, we are being saved from self-likeness (the expression of the self) and are being conformed to the image of Christ as the firstborn Son of God—Rom. 5:10; 8:29.
3　七盏灯表征灵神作为七灵─启四5，五6：
3.　The seven lamps signify God the Spirit as the seven Spirits—Rev. 4:5; 5:6:
a　我们里面有两盏灯─神七倍加强的灵在我们重生的灵里─照耀并光照我们内里的各部分─四5，箴二十27，林前六17，二11~12。
a.　Within us we have two lamps—the sevenfold intensified Spirit of God within our regenerated spirit—shining and enlightening our inward parts—4:5; Prov. 20:27; 1 Cor. 6:17; 2:11-12.
b　我们若要被变化，就需要向主敞开，让这两盏灯搜寻我们魂的所有房间，光照我们内里的各部分，好将生命供应到其中─箴二十27，路十一36。
b.　If we would be transformed, we need to open to the Lord and allow the two lamps to search all the chambers of our soul, enlightening our inward parts to supply them with life—Prov. 20:27; Luke 11:36.
4　这样，召会乃是三一神与祂所救赎之人的调和，成为灯台以彰显神─启一20。
4.　In this way the church is the Triune God mingled with His redeemed people to become the lampstand to express God—Rev. 1:20.
三　为着制作灯台，所有的金子必须放在一起成为一个单位、一个实体;这乃是建造的事─出二五31，36，太十六18，弗二21~22，四16：
C.　For the lampstand, all the gold must be brought together as one unit, one entity; this is a matter of building—Exo. 25:31, 36; Matt. 16:18; Eph. 2:21-22; 4:16:
1　神不要许多单独的金块;祂要所有的金子摆在一起，锤成灯台的形状。
1.　God does not desire hundreds of individual units of gold; He wants all the gold put together and beaten to form the lampstand.
2　我们若看见建造，就不会单独;反之，我们会领悟我们所得着的一切神圣元素都是为着建造，我们的金子必须摆在一起，建造成为一个实体。
2.　If we have seen the building, we will not be individualistic; rather, we will realize that whatever we gain of the divine element is for the building and that our gold must be put together and built up as one entity.
四　金灯台的表号指明三一神是一棵活的树，一直生长、发苞并开花，关于灯台的描述传达了生长的观念─约十四6，十五1上，5上，出二五31~32，弗四14~16。
D.　The symbol of the golden lampstand indicates that the Triune God is a living tree, growing, budding, and blossoming, and the description of the lampstand conveys the idea of growth—John 14:6; 15:1a, 5a; Exo. 25:31-32; Eph. 4:14-16.
五　我们若要在实际上成为金灯台，就需要操练与主成为一灵，照着灵而行，并操练我们的灵以至于敬虔，成为神在肉体中团体的显现─林前六17，罗八4，弗二21~22，四23，提前四7，三15~16上。
E.　If we would be the golden lampstand in reality, we need to practice being one spirit with the Lord, walking according to the spirit, and exercising our spirit unto godliness, unto the corporate manifestation of God in the flesh—1 Cor. 6:17; Rom. 8:4; Eph. 2:21-22; 4:23; 1 Tim. 4:7; 3:15-16a.
六　金灯台都是相同的，是经过过程之三一神繁增的具体表现和彰显─启一12，20：
F.　As the multiplied embodiment and expression of the processed Triune God, the golden lampstands are identical—Rev. 1:12, 20:
1　金灯台的表号启示，众召会应当在素质、外表和彰显上是一。
1.　The sign of the golden lampstands reveals that the churches should be one in essence, appearance, and expression.
2　耶稣只有一个见证，就是三一神的具体表现和彰显;因此，各国各城里的众地方召会都应该完全一样─二1，西三10~11，约十七22，启二一10~11。
2.　Jesus has one testimony, the embodiment and expression of the Triune God; thus, all the local churches in all the cities of all the nations should be exactly the same—2:1; Col. 3:10-11; John 17:22; Rev. 21:10-11.
七　众召会作金灯台要终极完成于新耶路撒冷;新耶路撒冷乃是所有灯台的总和─一20，二一18下， 23：
G.　The churches as golden lampstands will be consummated in the New Jeru-salem, the totality of all the lampstands—1:20; 21:18b, 23:
1　启示录开始于众灯台，结束于一个灯台─一20，二一18下， 23。
1.　Revelation begins with the lampstands and ends with the lampstand— 1:20; 21:18b, 23.
2　新耶路撒冷是一座金山，乃是宇宙的金灯台，托着羔羊作灯，有神作光照耀出来─18节下， 23节，二二1，5。
2.　The New Jerusalem, a mountain of gold, is the universal golden lampstand holding the Lamb as the lamp shining out God as the light—vv. 18b, 23; 22:1, 5.
3　新耶路撒冷是今日所有灯台的集大成，乃是一个终极完成、宇宙的金灯台，在新天新地照耀出神的荣耀，直到永远─二一24。
3.　The New Jerusalem, the aggregate of today's lampstands, is a consummate, universal golden lampstand to shine forth God's glory in the new heaven and new earth for eternity—21:24.
