第六篇 生命树与善恶知识树
Message Six The Tree of Life andthe Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
读经：创二9、16~17，约五39~40，林后三6下
Scripture Reading: Gen. 2:9, 16-17; John 5:39-40; 2 Cor. 3:6b
壹 生命树表征将生命分赐给人，叫人喜悦满足的基督─创二9，约十四6上，十10下，六63，林前十五45下，参约十五1，出十五25：
I. Thetree of life signifies Christ, who imparts life to man and who pleases and satisfies man—Gen. 2:9; John 14:6a;10:10b; 6:63; 1 Cor. 15:45b; cf. John 15:1; Exo. 15:25:
一 生命树是宇宙的中心;按照神的定旨，地是宇宙的中心，伊甸园是地的中心，而生命树又是伊甸园的中心。
A. The tree of life is the center of the universe; according to the purpose of God, the earth is the center of the universe, the garden of Eden is the center of the earth, and the tree of life is the center of the garden of Eden.
二 我们必须认识，整个宇宙是以生命树为中心;无论对神或对人，没有别的比这树更中心、更重要。
B. We must realize that the whole universe is centered on this tree of life; nothing is more central and crucial to both God and man than this tree.
三 神把人摆在生命树跟前，指明神要人借着生机地吃祂并新陈代谢地吸收祂，接受祂作人的生命，使神能成为人所是的构成成分─约六35、57。
C. God's placing man in front of the tree of life indicates that God wanted man to receive Him as man's life by eating Him organically and assimilating Him metabolically so that God might become the very constituent of man's being—John 6:35, 57.
四 按照约翰一章一节和四节，生命是在那就是神自己的话里面;这生命─神那神圣、永远、非受造的生命─就是基督（十一25，十四6上，西三4上），祂是神的具体化身（二9）。─引用经文
D. According to John 1:1 and 4, life is in the Word, who is God Himself; this life—the divine, eternal, uncreated life of God—is Christ (11:25; 14:6a; Col. 3:4a), who is the embodiment of God (2:9).
五 生命树长在生命水河的两边（启二二1~2），指明生命树乃是一种藤蔓（葡萄树）;因着基督是葡萄树（约十五1），又是生命，祂就是生命树。─引用经文
E. The tree of life grows along the two sides of the river of water of life (Rev. 22:1-2), indicating that it is a vine; since Christ is a vine tree (John 15:1) and is also life, He is the tree of life.
六 基督经过了成为肉体、钉十字架和复活的过程，使人能得着生命，并借着吃祂而活─十10下，六51、57、63。
F. Christ was processed through incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection so that man may have life and live by eating Him—10:10b; 6:51, 57, 63.
贰 善恶知识树表征撒但是人死亡的源头─创二9、17，来二14：
II. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil signifies Satan as the source of death to man—Gen. 2:9, 17; Heb. 2:14:
一 善恶知识树也表征一切神以外的事物，因为凡不是神自己的事物，包括美好的事物，甚至合乎圣经的事物和宗教的事物，都会被撒但这狡猾者利用，将死带给人。
A. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil also signifies all things apart from God, for anything that is not God Himself, including good things and even scriptural things and religious things, can be utilized by Satan, the subtle one, to bring death to man.
二 就连神所默示的圣经和神所颁赐的律法，都会被撒但利用，作为知识树而带进死─约五39~40，林后三6。
B. Even the Scriptures inspired by God and the law given by God can be utilized by Satan as the tree of knowledge to bring in death—John 5:39-40; 2 Cor. 3:6.
叁 神给人的第一个命令是关乎人的吃，而不是关乎人的行为─创二16~17：
III. God's first commandment to man concerned man's eating, not man's conduct—Gen. 2:16-17:
一 吃对人非常重要，是生死攸关的事;人在神面前的结局和定命，完全根据于他所吃的。
A. Eating is critical to man, a matter of life or death; man's outcome and destiny before God depend altogether on what he eats.
二 人若吃生命树，就接受神作生命而完成神的定旨;人若吃知识树，就接受撒但为死亡，而被撒但篡夺，达到他的目的。
B. If man eats the tree of life, he will receive God as life and fulfill God's purpose; if he eats the tree of knowledge, he will receive Satan as death and be usurped by him for his purpose.
三 神给人禁令作警告（16~17，参弗二1），指明以下的事：─引用经文
C. God's forbidding commandment, given as a warning to man(vv. 16-17; cf. Eph. 2:1), indicates the following:
1 指明神的伟大：祂造人，赋与人自由意志，使人自愿而不是被迫拣选神。
1. It indicates God's greatness in creating man with a free will so that man may choose God willingly and not under coercion.
2 指明神对人的爱。
2. It indicates God's love for man.
3 指明神渴望人吃生命树，接受神到他里面作生命。
3. It indicates God's desire that man would eat the tree of life to receive God into him as his life.
肆 生命树叫人倚靠神（约十五5），而知识树叫人背叛神，向神独立（参创三5）：─引用经文
IV. The tree of life causes man to be dependent on God (John15:5), whereas the tree of knowledge causes man to rebel against God and to be independent from Him (cf. Gen. 3:5):
一 这两棵树带进两条线─生命线和死亡线，贯穿整本圣经，结束于启示录。
A. The two trees issue in two lines—the line of life and the line of death—that run through the entire Bible and end in the book of Revelation.
二 死开始于知识树（创二17），结束于火湖（启二十10、14）;生命开始于生命树，结束于新耶路撒冷这座生命水的城（二二1~2）。─引用经文
B. Death begins with the tree of knowledge (Gen. 2:17) and ends with the lake of fire (Rev. 20:10, 14); life begins with the tree of life and ends in the New Jerusalem, the city of the water of life (22:1-2).
