第五篇 为着完成神永远的定旨,过奉献、晨兴与牧养的生活
Message Five Living a Life of Consecration, Morning Revival, and Shepherding for the Fulfillment of God's Eternal Purpose
读经:诗一一○3,彼前一8,二7,哀三22~23,约二一15~17,诗二三1~6
Scripture Reading: Psa. 110:3; 1 Pet. 1:8; 2:7; Lam. 3:22-23; John 21:15-17; Psa. 23:1-6
壹 诗篇一百一十篇和二十三篇启示,为着完成神永远的定旨,奉献、晨兴与牧养是何等的紧要:
I. Psalm 110 and Psalm 23 reveal how crucial consecration, morning revival, and shepherding are for the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose:
一 “当你争战的日子,你的民要以奉献为彩饰,甘心献上自己。你的少年人对你必如清晨的甘露”─一一○3:
A. "Your people will offer themselves willingly / In the day of Your warfare, / In the splendor of their consecration. / Your young men will be to You / Like the dew from the womb of the dawn”-110:3:
1 虽然召会堕落了,历世纪以来仍有一条线,有一班人以奉献为彩饰,为荣美,甘心将自己献给主;我们若甘心的将自己献给主,就会有神圣、属天的光彩而显为美丽─太二六6~13。
1. Although the church has become degraded, throughout the centuries there has been a line of those who have offered themselves willingly to the Lord in the splendor, the beauty, of their consecration; if we offer ourselves willingly to the Lord, we will be beautified with a divine, heavenly splendor- Matt. 26:6-13.
2 基督也需要我们成为清晨所产的甘露,使祂得滋润:
2. Christ also needs us to be the dew from the womb of the dawn for Him to be watered:
a 我们早晨若不早起,就会失去机会成为清晨所孕育的甘露,用以滋润基督。
a. If we do not rise up early in the morning, we will miss the opportunity to enter into the womb of the morning to be conceived as dew with which to water Christ.
b 愿我们回应主说,“主耶稣,我要作清晨所孕育并产生的甘露,使你得着滋润。”
b. May we respond to the Lord by saying, "Lord Jesus, I want to be the dew conceived and produced by the womb of the dawn for You to be watered.”
二 诗篇二十二至二十四篇是启示基督的一组诗,从祂的钉十字架,经过祂的牧养,说到祂来世的国度:─引用经文
B. Psalms 22-24 are a group of psalms revealing Christ from His crucifixion through His shepherding to His kingdom in the coming age:
1 二十二篇是关于基督的死,祂的复活,以及在祂复活里所产生的许多弟兄,以形成祂的召会。
1. Psalm 22 concerns Christ's death, His resurrection, and His many brothers produced in His resurrection to form His church.
2 现今召会既已形成,我们就需要进入二十三篇的实际里;二十三篇是关于基督在祂的复活里作牧者;这要带进新的复兴,将我们引进国度时代。
2. Now that the church has been formed, we need to enter into the reality of Psalm 23, which concerns Christ as the Shepherd in His resurrection; this will bring in a new revival that will usher us into the kingdom age.
3 二十四篇是关于基督在神的国里作要来的王。
3. Psalm 24 concerns Christ as the coming King in God's kingdom.
贰 我们要完成神永远的定旨,就必须藉着我们价值观的改变,过奉献的生活─太二三16~26,撒上十六7,路十六15,九54~56,彼前三4:
II. For the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose, we must live a life of consecration by having a change in our concept of value-Matt. 23:16-26; 1 Sam. 16:7; Luke 16:15; 9:54-56; 1 Pet. 3:4:
一 信徒正确的价值观,可见于他们对基督和祂完满救恩以下各方面的估计和评价:
A. The proper concept of value for the believers can be seen in their estimation and assessment of the following aspects of Christ and His full salvation:
1 对于主耶稣的估价─诗一一八22,彼前二4,7。
1. Their valuation of the Lord Jesus-Psa. 118:22; 1 Pet. 2:4, 7.
2 对于十字架之话的估价─林前一18。
2. Their valuation of the word of the cross-1 Cor. 1:18.
3 对于神的国和神的义与人日用所需之间的估价─太六32~33。
3. Their valuation of God's kingdom and righteousness in comparison to a man's daily necessities-Matt. 6:32-33.

5 对于人的魂与全世界之间的估价─太十六26,四8~11,启十八13,彼前四19。
5. Their valuation of a man's soul in comparison to the whole world-Matt. 16:26; 4:8-11; Rev. 18:13; 1 Pet. 4:19.
6 对于他们身体与罪的严重及结局之间的估价─太十八8~9。
6. Their valuation of their body in comparison to the seriousness and consequence of sin-Matt. 18:8-9.
7 对于宗教阶级地位与作主奴仆并彼此作奴仆之间的估价─二十25~27。
7. Their valuation of hierarchical position in comparison to being slaves of the Lord and to one another-20:25-27.
8 对于基督为义的珍宝与属地珍宝之间的估价─伯二二23~28,太十二18~21,赛四二1~4。
8. Their valuation of Christ as the treasure of justice in comparison to earthly treasure-Job 22:23-28; Matt. 12:18-21; Isa. 42:1-4.
9 对于罪的享受与看不见的赏赐之间的估价─来十一24~27。
9. Their valuation of the enjoyment of sin in comparison to the unseen reward-Heb. 11:24-27.
10 对于基督的认识与万事之间的估价─腓三7~8,彼前一8。
10. Their valuation of the knowledge of Christ in comparison to all things- Phil. 3:7-8; 1 Pet. 1:8.
二 我们需要求主给我们亮光,叫我们的价值观有彻底的改变,叫我们不断的拣选基督并祂一切的所是,作我们绝佳的分─可九7~8,林后二10,四7,彼前一8。
B. We need to ask the Lord to grant us the light to have a thorough change in our concept of value so that we will continually choose Christ and all that He is as our super-excelling portion-Mark 9:7-8; 2 Cor. 2:10; 4:7; 1 Pet. 1:8.
三 “你若将宝贵的从低贱的分别出来,你就可以作我的口”─耶十五19,参16节。
C. "If you bring out the precious from the worthless, / You will be as My mouth”- Jer. 15:19; cf. v. 16.
叁 我们要完成神永远的定旨,就必须过晨兴的生活─哀三22~23,诗一一九147:
III. For the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose, we must live a life of morning revival-Lam. 3:22-23; Psa. 119:147:
一 我们每天早晨都该让主耶稣,就是我们的日头,在我们里面升起,使我们得着更新─林后四16,士五31,箴四18。
A. Every morning we should allow the Lord Jesus, our Sun, to rise up in us so that we can be renewed-2 Cor. 4:16; Judg. 5:31; Prov. 4:18.
二 “坛上的火要在其上一直烧着,不可熄灭。祭司要每早晨在上面烧柴,把燔祭摆列在上面,并在其上烧平安祭牲的脂油。火要在坛上一直不断的烧着,不可熄灭”─利六12~13:
B. "The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it must not go out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall lay the burnt offering in order upon it and shall burn the fat of the peace offerings on it. Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out”-Lev. 6:12-13:
1 祭司每早晨在坛上烧柴,表征神的愿望需要事奉的人合作,把更多燃料加到圣火里,好加强焚烧,使神接纳燔祭作食物;(参罗十二11,提后一6~7;)早晨表征焚烧的新开始。─引用经文
1. The priest's burning wood on the altar every morning signifies the need of the serving one's cooperation with God's desire by adding more fuel to the holy fire to strengthen the burning for the receiving of the burnt offering as God's food (cf. Rom. 12:11; 2 Tim. 1:6-7); the morning signifies a new start for the burning.
2 烧燔祭替平安祭的甘美立定根基;这指明我们应当将自己献给神作常献的燔祭,好为我们与神甘美的交通,就是烧平安祭牲的脂油所表征者,立定根基。
2. The burning of the burnt offering laid a foundation for the sweetness of the peace offering, which indicates that our offering ourselves to God as a continual burnt offering should be laid as a foundation for our sweet fellowship with God, signified by the burning of the fat of the peace offering.
3 烧燔祭和烧平安祭,表征我们向着神的绝对,以及我们对三一神的享受,都该如火焚烧。
3. The burning of both the burnt offering and the peace offering signifies that both our absoluteness for God and our enjoyment of the Triune God should be a matter of burning.
三 每天早晨有新的复兴,就是每天早晨有新的变化;只要我们一生的年日都在这样的变化中,我们就能在主的生命里长大,以致成熟─林后三18,罗十二2,来六1上。
C. To have a revival that is renewed daily is to have a transformation that is fresh daily; if we remain in this transformation our whole life, we will grow in the life of the Lord until we are matured-2 Cor. 3:18; Rom. 12:2; Heb. 6:1a.
肆 我们要完成神永远的定旨,就必须过接受牧养,并照着神牧养的生活:
IV. For the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose, we must live a life of being shepherded and of shepherding others according to God:
一 主已把使徒的职事与祂天上的职事合并,以照顾神的群羊,就是召会,带进基督的身体─约二一15~17,徒二十28,彼前五2。
A. The Lord has incorporated the apostolic ministry with His heavenly ministry to take care of God's flock, which is the church, issuing in the Body of Christ- John 21:15-17; Acts 20:28; 1 Pet. 5:2.
二 升天的基督作为耶和华,在五个阶段里作我们的牧者─诗二三1:
B. The ascended Christ as Jehovah is our Shepherd in five stages-Psa. 23:1:
1 享受青草地和可安歇的水─2节。
1. The enjoyment in the green pastures and at the waters of rest-v. 2.
2 在义路上得复兴和变化─3节。
