Message Seven Knowing the Lord's Recovery in Life
读经：约一4，十10，十一25，十四6，罗八2，10~11
Scripture Reading: John 1:4; 10:10; 11:25; 14:6; Rom. 8:2, 10-11
壹　我们要看见生命，并在生命上认识主的恢复，就需要没有帕子遮蔽─林后三14~17：
I.　In order to see life and to know the Lord's recovery in life, we need to be unveiled—2 Cor. 3:14-17:
一　历世纪以来，人的心思一直被宗教和天然观念掳去;因此，我们可能读圣经却没有看见圣经所启示的─林后三15，约五39~40。
A.　For centuries the human mind has been in captivity to religious and natural concepts; for this reason, we may read the Bible without seeing what it reveals—v. 15; John 5:39-40.
二　在地方召会里，许多人对于属灵事物的领会，仍是非常天然;他们一直是在天然观念的帕子之下─林后三14。
B.　Many in the local churches are still natural in their understanding of spiritual things; they remain under the veil of natural concepts—2 Cor. 3:14.
三　从经历中我们知道，有种种不同的帕子─15节：
C.　From experience we know that there are different kinds of veils—v. 15:
1　信徒为宗教的观念所遮蔽，每个人都为某些天然的观念或意见所遮蔽─太十一25。
1.　Believers are veiled by religious concepts, and everyone is veiled by certain natural concepts or ideas—Matt. 11:25.
2　帕子常常与我们按天然的构成是怎样的人有关─林前二14。
2.　Veils are often related to the kind of people we are by our natural constitution— 1 Cor. 2:14.
3　我们可能为种族和国籍的特性所遮蔽;不同国籍的特性、性情、习惯和风俗都是帕子，使我们不能看见关于生命的异象─腓三3~6。
3.　We may be veiled by our racial and national character; the various national characters, dispositions, habits, and customs are veils that keep us from seeing the vision concerning life—Phil. 3:3-6.
4　每个人都有四层帕子：天然的构成及其道德成分、文化、宗教、以及藉着教导或训练所学来的道德─罗七21~23，腓三3~6。
4.　Everyone has four layers of veils: the natural makeup with its ethical element, culture, religion, and the ethics acquired through teaching and training—Rom. 7:21-23; Phil. 3:3-6.
四　我们不该以为自己什么帕子都没有;反而我们需要仰望主并祷告：“主阿，除去一切遮蔽我的东西。主阿，除去我的帕子!”
D.　Instead of assuming that we do not have any veils, we need to look to the Lord and pray, "Lord, take away anything that is covering me. O Lord, remove my veils!"
贰　组织的基督教已经偏离了生命的中心线;基督教的堕落就是偏离了生命─弗四18，启三1。
II.　Organized Christianity has deviated from the central line of life; the degradation in Christianity is a deviation from life—Eph. 4:18; Rev. 3:1.
叁　我们需要在生命上认识主的恢复─约一4，约壹一1~2：
III.　We need to know the Lord's recovery in life—John 1:4; 1 John 1:1-2:
一　我们的眼睛必须得开，看见主的恢复乃是恢复回到生命─约一1，4，十四6，约壹一1~2。
A.　Our eyes must be opened to see that the Lord's recovery is a recovery back to life—John 1:1, 4; 14:6; 1 John 1:1-2.
二　主恢复的目的，是要将我们带回到神自己作我们的生命─弗四18，罗五10，八2，10~11。
B.　The purpose of the Lord's recovery is to bring us back to God Himself as our life—Eph. 4:18; Rom. 5:10; 8:2, 10-11.
三　主的恢复完全是在于生命，这恢复将我们带回到三一神，使我们据有、经历并享受祂作生命─林后十三14。
C.　The Lord's recovery is absolutely a matter of life—a recovery to bring us back to the Triune God in order to possess, experience, and enjoy Him as life— 2 Cor. 13:14.
四　我们要充分看见主恢复的异象，就必须在三一神里来认识这个恢复─约壹一1~ 2，二25，五11~13。
D.　In order to have an adequate vision of the Lord's recovery, we need to know the recovery in the Triune God—1 John 1:1-2; 2:25; 5:11-13.
肆　在生命上认识主的恢复，就是在我们的经历上认识三一神作生命─约一4，14，16~17，十10，十一25，十四6：
IV.　To know the Lord's recovery in life is to know the Triune God as life in our experience—John 1:4, 14, 16-17; 10:10; 11:25; 14:6:
一　生命就是三一神，因为父在子里，子成为灵，为要作我们的生命─一14，二十22，林前十五45下：
A.　Life is the Triune God, for the Father is in the Son, and the Son became the Spirit to be our life—1:14; 20:22; 1 Cor. 15:45b:
1　生命是三一神自己进到我们里面，使我们可以经历祂，享受祂，与祂成为一，并彰显祂─罗八2，10~11。
1.　Life is the Triune God Himself coming into us so that we may experience Him, enjoy Him, be one with Him, and express Him—Rom. 8:2, 10-11.
2　生命是一个人位─三一神;祂在基督里经过了成为肉体、人性生活、钉十字架、复活和升天，成为赐生命的灵进入我们里面，作我们的生命与我们调和─林前十五3~4，45下，六17。
2.　Life is a person—the Triune God, who in Christ has passed through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension and has come into us as the life-giving Spirit to be our life and to mingle with us— 1 Cor. 15:3-4, 45b; 6:17.
3　生命是三一神自己，这位神创造宇宙，成为肉体，在人性里活在地上三十三年半，死于十字架，经过死亡和阴间，进入复活，作为一人升上诸天，并成为赐生命的灵，进入我们里面作我们的生命─约一14，29，十二24，十四9~10，17~18，20。
3.　Life is the Triune God Himself—the God who created the universe, was incarnated, lived on the earth in humanity for thirty-three and a half years, died on the cross, passed through death and Hades, entered into resurrection, ascended to the heavens as a man, and became the life-giving Spirit to enter into us as our life—John 1:14, 29; 12:24; 14:9-10, 17-18, 20.
二　我们的标准必须是作我们生命的神自己─一1，4，十一25，十四6：
B.　Our standard must be God Himself, who is our life—1:1, 4; 11:25; 14:6:
1　我们若从创造开始，直到我们得荣，在这一切项目上认识神，我们就认识何为生命─约壹一1~2，五13。
1.　If we know God in all the items from creation to our glorification, then we know what life is—1 John 1:1-2; 5:13.
2　神命定祂所拣选、救赎并重生的人要活这生命─经过过程的神;祂真实、实际又便利，甚至与我们是一─约六57，七37~39，西三4。
2.　God ordained that His chosen, redeemed, and regenerated people should live this life—the processed God, who is real, practical, available, and even one with us—John 6:57; 7:37-39; Col. 3:4.
三　重生、圣别、更新、变化、模成、和荣化是我们里面生命的工作，这生命就是经过过程的三一神，祂成为赐生命的灵，住在我们灵里与我们成为一─罗六19，八16，29~30，十二2。
C.　Regeneration, sanctification, renewing, transformation, conformation, and glorification are the work of life within us, and this life is the processed Triune God, who became the life-giving Spirit to dwell in our spirit and to be one with us—Rom. 6:19; 8:16, 29-30; 12:2.
四　基督是经过过程的三一神，住在我们里面作我们的生命，将自己与我们调和，为要圣别、更新、变化、模成、至终荣化我们─约一1，14，十四9~10，17~18，西三4。
D.　Christ is the processed Triune God, who is dwelling within us as our life and mingling Himself with us to sanctify, renew, transform, conform, and eventually glorify us—John 1:1, 14; 14:9-10, 17-18; Col. 3:4.
五　生命是一个奇妙的人位，祂是神又是人，经过了成为肉体、人性生活、钉十字架、复活和升天，如今乃是内住的灵;这就是我们所说的生命，我们需要对这深奥的实际有异象─二9，三4，一9。
E.　Life is a wonderful person who is both God and man, who passed through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, and who is now the indwelling Spirit; this is what we mean by life, and we need to see a vision of this profound reality—2:9; 3:4; 1:9.
伍　我们若看见众召会乃是金灯台─三一神的具体化身和彰显─这异象，就会真正认识何为生命─启一12，20，二1：
V.　If we see the vision of the churches as the golden lampstands—the embodiment and expression of the Triune God—we will truly know what life is—Rev. 1:12, 20; 2:1:
一　召会得以是金的，有神的性情，因为神的生命正藉着信徒的重生、圣别、更新、变化、模成和得荣，作到他们里面;没有这个过程，召会不可能成为金灯台─约三6，罗八11。
A.　The churches can be golden, having God's nature, because His life is being worked into the believers through regeneration, sanctification, renewing, transformation, conformation, and glorification; apart from this process, there is no way for the church to be a golden lampstand—John 3:6; Rom. 8:11.
二　召会是在生命、性情、和彰显上作三一神的复制，不是在神格里作受敬拜的神─弗四4~6，启一12，20。
B.　The church is the Triune God's reproduction, not in the Godhead as a deity to be worshipped but in life, nature, and expression—Eph. 4:4-6; Rev. 1:12, 20.
三　生命不仅仅是我们所经历的一些事，如生命的律、生命的感觉、生命的交通等，生命主要的是三一神将祂自己分赐到我们里面，使我们在祂里面是一，而成为金灯台─林后十三14，启一4~6，12，20。
C.　Life is not only something in our experiences, such as the law of life, the sense of life, and the fellowship of life, but primarily the Triune God dispensing Himself into us and making us one in Him to be the golden lampstands— 2 Cor. 13:14; Rev. 1:4-6, 12, 20.
陆　基督徒生活有个人一面和团体一面;个人一面是为着团体一面─约三3，5~6，十七22~23：
VI.　The Christian life has the individual aspect and the corporate aspect; the individual aspect is for the corporate aspect—John 3:3, 5-6; 17:22-23:
一　人在召会生活之外可以重生，得着神圣的生命，但若没有召会生活，人就无法得着生命的丰盛─一12~13，三3，5~6，15~16。
A.　Outside the church life, people can be regenerated to receive the divine life, but without the church life, they will not have the abundance of life—1:12-13; 3:3, 5-6, 15-16.
二　我们个人经历生命，但因我们个人的经历是为着团体一面，所以我们必须在实际的召会生活里，好得着生命的丰盛─十10。
B.　We experience life individually, but because our individual experience is for the corporate aspect, we must be in the practical church life in order to have the abundance of life—10:10.
柒　我们需要祷告，求主使我们对生命有明确的异象，好在生命上认识主的恢复─西一9，弗一17：
VII.　We need to pray that the Lord will show us a clear vision of life so that we may know the Lord's recovery in life—Col. 1:9; Eph. 1:17:
一　我们若看见圣经中关于生命的启示，我们就认识主的恢复是什么;主的恢复不是任何一种活动、运动或作法，因为这些都不是三一神自己作生命─罗八2，6，10~11。
A.　If we see the revelation in the Bible concerning life, we will know what the Lord's recovery is; we will know that the recovery is not a matter of any kind of activity, movement, or practice, because these things are not the Triune God Himself as life—Rom. 8:2, 6, 10-11.
二　我们若实际的看见生命，就能分辨生命;若有人试图将召会带往错误的方向，我们也不会被误导─西三4。
B.　If we see life in a practical way, we will be able to discern life and not be misled if some try to lead the church in a wrong direction—Col. 3:4.
三　我们若有异象，看见主在生命上的恢复，无论何事发生，我们都会蒙保守在主的恢复里而不改变、受打岔或偏离─箴二九18上，徒二六19。
C.　If we have the vision of the Lord's recovery in life, no matter what happens, we will be kept in the recovery without any change, distraction, or deviation— Prov. 29:18a; Acts 26:19.
