Message Eleven Christ in His Sufferings and Christ as the Factor to Enact God's New Testament Economy
读经:诗六九,四十6~8
Scripture Reading: Psa. 69; 40:6-8
壹 诗篇六十九篇是说到受苦的基督,由受苦的大卫所预表─1~3,19~20,26节:
I. Psalm 69 is on the suffering Christ, typified by the suffering David—vv. 1-3, 19-20, 26:
一 大卫是赢得胜利,并为神的国得着领土的战士,但他的生活却是受苦的生活;在他的受苦上,他是受苦之基督的预表:
A. David was a warrior who won victories and gained territories for God's kingdom, yet his life was a life of suffering, and in his suffering he was a type of the suffering Christ:
1 大卫在他一切所受的试炼上,是个信靠神,照着神的主宰而行的人;在神主宰之下,大卫学了十字架的功课─撒上十七36~37,二三14~16,三十6下~10。
1. David trusted in God and walked according to God's sovereignty in all his trials; under God's sovereignty, David took the lessons of the cross—1 Sam. 17:36-37; 23:14-16; 30:6b-10.
2 我们都需要学习两个重要的功课─神主宰的功课,以及凭复活的大能背十字架的功课─罗八28,腓三10。
2. We all need to learn two vital lessons—the lesson of God's sovereignty and the lesson of taking the cross with the power of resurrection—Rom. 8:28; Phil. 3:10.
二 诗篇六十九篇详细地说到基督的苦难:
B. Psalm 69 speaks of Christ's sufferings in a detailed way:
1 基督无故的为多人所恨─4节上,约十五25。
1. Christ was hated by many without cause—v. 4a; John 15:25.
2 基督为神的缘故遭人辱骂─诗六九7上,9下,罗十五3。
2. Christ suffered in bearing reproaches for the sake of God— Psa. 69:7a, 9b; Rom. 15:3.
3 基督为神的家,心里焦急,如同火烧─诗六九9上,约二17。
3. Christ was devoured by the zeal of God's house—Psa. 69:9a; John 2:17.
4 基督多受苦难,无人体恤─诗六九29上,19~20,约十六32。
4. Christ suffered much, and no one took pity on Him—Psa. 69:29a, 19-20; John 16:32.
5 基督哭泣求神救祂出离死亡之水─诗六九10,13~17,1~2,来五7。

6. Christ was given gall as His food while He was suffering on the cross—Psa. 69:21a; Matt. 27:34.
7 基督在十字架上渴了,人拿醋给祂喝─诗六九21下,约十九28~30。

10. Christ's suffering was for Zion and for the building of the cities of God's people —Psa. 69:35-36; Eph. 5:25b.
三 主耶稣已把祂受苦的生活摆在我们面前,作我们临摹的范本,叫我们跟随祂的脚踪行─彼前二21~23:
C. The Lord Jesus has set His suffering life before us so that we can copy it by tracing and following His steps—1 Pet. 2:21-23:
1 主把所受的一切羞辱和伤害,交给那位在祂的行政里按公义审判的公义之神,使自己服从祂;这指明主在地上生活为人时,承认神的行政─22~23节。
1. The Lord kept committing all His insults and injuries to Him who judges righteously in His government, the righteous God, to whom He submitted Himself; this indicates that the Lord recognized God's government while He was living a human life on earth—vv. 22-23.
2 跟随祂的脚踪行,并不是指仅仅效法祂和祂的生活,乃是指我们要在受苦时享受祂作恩典,好使祂自己这内住的灵,带着祂生命一切的丰富,在我们里面繁殖(复制)祂自己,使我们成为祂的复制品─21节。
2. To follow His steps does not refer to a mere imitation of Him and His life but to a reproduction of Him that comes from enjoying Him as grace in our sufferings, so that He Himself as the indwelling Spirit, with all the riches of His life, reproduces Himself in us—v. 21.
四 新约的职事是由对基督之丰富的经历,经过受苦、消耗的压力以及十字架杀死的工作而产生在新约的众执事里面─林后一8,四8~12。
D. The ministry of the new covenant is produced in the new covenant ministers by the experiences of the riches of Christ gained through sufferings, consuming pressures, and the killing work of the cross—2 Cor. 1:8; 4:8-12.
五 使徒和信徒需要“为基督的身体,就是为召会,……补满基督患难的缺欠”─西一24:
E. The apostles and the believers need to fill up "that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ…for His Body, which is the church"— Col. 1:24:
1 基督的患难有两类:一类是为成功救赎;另一类是为产生并建造召会,这是借着释放神圣的生命─约十二24。
1. The afflictions of Christ are of two categories: those for accomplishing redemption and those for producing and building up the church through the release of the divine life — John 12:24.
2 我们不能交通于(有分于)基督救赎的苦难,但我们需要多多交通于基督为着召会的苦难;我们所有分于的苦难,乃是为着建造基督的身体─西一24,腓三10。
2. We cannot have fellowship (participation) in Christ's sufferings for redemption, but we need to have much fellowship in Christ's sufferings for the church; the sufferings in which we participate are for the building up of the Body of Christ— Col. 1:24; Phil. 3:10.
贰 基督乃是立定神新约经纶的因素─诗四十6~8:
II. Christ is the factor to enact God's New Testament economy—Psa. 40:6-8:
一 六至八节的预言,是关于包罗万有之基督最大的启示之一,说到祂借着成为肉体第一次来,从神所领受的托付,就是要除去旧约的动物祭牲,而立定祂自己(在祂身体里)作新约的祭物─来十7,9~10。
A. The prophecy in Psalm 40:6-8 is one of the greatest revelations concerning the all-inclusive Christ in the commission that God committed to Christ in His first coming through incarnation, which was to put away the animal sacrifices of the old covenant and to establish Himself, in His body, as the sacrifice of the new covenant—Heb. 10:7, 9-10.
二 这是要结束神旧约的经纶,而开始神新约的经纶,在其中基督顶替一切的供物和所有的人事物─参太十七4~8,西二16~17,三10~11。
B. This is to terminate God's Old Testament economy and to initiate God's New Testament economy, in which Christ replaces all the offerings as well as all things, all matters, and all persons— cf. Matt. 17:4-8; Col. 2:16-17; 3:10-11.
三 诗篇四十篇六至八节关于基督的预言,乃是二、八、十六、二十二至二十四篇关于基督之启示的目标和目的地:
C. The prophecy concerning Christ in Psalm 40:6-8 is the goal and destination of the revelation of Christ in Psalms 2, 8, 16, and 22 through 24:
1 四十篇七节的“我来了”,指明基督借着成为肉体第一次来,以祂自己作立约的祭物和供物,为着立定新遗命(新约)─太二六28。
1. The words I have come in Psalm 40:7 indicate Christ's first coming through His incarnation for the establishing of the new testament (covenant) by Himself as the enacting sacrifice and offering—Matt. 26:28.
2 祭物是为着在神面前的罪和罪行,供物是为着与神的交通─诗四十6:
2. A sacrifice is for sin and sins before God, and an offering is for fellowship with God—Psa. 40:6:
a 这二者是旧约据以立定的元素,而旧约是旧约时代里神经纶的中心与普及─出二四1~8。
a. These two things were the elements upon which the old covenant was established, and the old covenant was the centrality and universality of God's economy in the Old Testament—Exo. 24:1-8.
b 神不喜悦,也不要祭物和供物,意思就是要结束祂在旧约时代的经纶;这是本预言的重要性和重大性─诗四十6。
b. God's not delighting in and not requiring sacrifice and offering points to the termination of His economy in the Old Testament; this is the importance and the greatness of this prophecy—Psa. 40:6.
3 在这预言里,基督借着成为肉体而来,顶替动物祭牲,并立定祂自己作新约惟一的祭物,借此结束神旧的经纶,而开始神新的经纶,就是祂新约的经纶─来十5~9。
3. In this prophecy Christ comes through incarnation to terminate God's old economy and initiate God's new economy, His New Testament economy, by replacing the animal sacrifices and establishing Himself as the unique sacrifice of the new covenant—Heb. 10:5-9.
4 基督作这样惟一的祭物,乃是立定神新约经纶的因素,使祂成为新约经纶的中心与普及,好产生并建造召会作祂生机的身体,终极完成于新耶路撒冷─太十六18,弗四16,启二一2,10~11。
4. As such a unique sacrifice, Christ is the factor to enact God's New Testament economy that He may be the centrality and universality for the producing and building up of the church as His organic Body, which will consummate in the New Jerusalem—Matt. 16:18; Eph. 4:16; Rev. 21:2, 10-11.
5 为着从神的旧造中完成神的新造,基督转换了时代;祂的转换时代,比创造宇宙更重大─林后五17,加六15。
5. Christ has changed the age for the consummating of God's new creation out of God's old creation; His changing of the age is greater than the creation of the universe —2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15.
